Slogans and posters don't do anything but irritate people - you're more likely to make a problem be taken LESS seriously by trying to make a campaign/protest out of it (re: Occupy Wallstreet).

I can understand being offended given what you do. I didn't mean to make light of that. At the same time, knowing my sympathy/emotions might be taken advantage of by these people is also offensive. I think that's among one of the worst things anyone could do to people.
Just doesn't feel good to have that as well as being hated on for bandwagoning on top of that slap in the face. I'd certainly love to know more about the other side of the issue so its less following the crowd and more about knowledge . that blog post was a good start. I might post it on another forum i frequent.
