lost causes. Those who were only slightly committed or were there in the
protest for other reasons were ones I was trying to convince other wise.
Another tactic I loved using was pointing out if they were so committed to
animal rights then why were they wearing animal products - shoes, belts,
sweaters etc.
I remember after one protest at an APA conference, I saw several of the
protesters at a McDonald's. Loved pointing out their hypocrisy on that one.
