There is a time and place for things like that and Disneyland is NOT that place. I doubt his concerns for the plight of the detainees, he used them for his own selfish gain. He's not an artist he's nuicence.

Originally Posted By moondevil "moondevil, if all of america had the mindset of yours, there would not even be a disneyland in this country." How do you figure? Disneyland is a place to go and forget about the real world for a while. I understand this country was created out of protest, I won't argue with that. But the ride was closed down due to this guy's "artistic expression". A disruption is a disruption and I have as much tolerance for this guy as I would for a guy who abandons his autopia vehicle and jumps into his buddy's car. BTW, "calm down, chill out", RUDE! I may be a bit passionate in my posts, but theres no reason to tell me to "chill out".

Originally Posted By berol I hadn't thought of that, but that's about as indirect as you can get. Outside a recruiting station, govt. building, or base would have made for better venues (or pretty much anywhere, since anywhere you go in this country, it's the USA. heh.)
