PGHA: What do the protestors want?

This weeks PGH Assignment was pretty straightforward. What do the protestors want?

I thought long and hard about this and this is what I came up with:

They want freedom from a Fascist Government that won�t let them say what they�
Oh wait, if that was true, they wouldn�t be able to protest. Never mind.

They want peace. That�s why they threaten to disrupt the police and severely beat anyone who disagrees with them.
Oh Kay� never mind.

They want respect. That�s why they are willing to parade naked through the streets of New York City.
Yeah right. That�ll get you respect. Maybe in San Francisco.

They want the truth. And they�ll say anything to get it�
Is anyone else getting confused here?

They want justice. And they�ll break any law to see that they get it.
OK, this is the only one that I see actually happening. It�s just, they never recognize incarceration for their crimes as justice.

The want to be heard. That�s why we have been listening to them for 40 years.
Now that we�ve heard them, why won�t they shut up?

They want to get rid of the state controlled media.
Yeah, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN are all realllllly friendly to the President.

You know what? I don�t think that they really know what they want. So what do we care. It�s not like they�ll ever stop protesting. Even if they could figure out what they really want, and they were given it.
