You would be amazed at what you can get done by playing by the rules. When you act outside of them, in the manner depicted in this thread, you are throwing out any hope of being taken seriously in serious negotiations.

In short, you are using your political capital for kindling.

They did exactly what they intended to. They got noticed. They knew they would get arrested, they knew it would be in the news, and that is what they were aiming for.

Dont get me wrong, I think they are asshats too. But they havent done anything to hurt anyone by doing this. Sure, its too bad none of them fell off (or were pushed), but its not like they were up there with a sniper rifle.

(and yes, I do hate greenpeace as much as anyone, but im just putting it in perspective)
