Protesting the Olympic torch is like protesting the guy in the big rubber dollar bill suit handing out flyers for a bank where you are not a customer. In many ways, the guys is just a regular dude working for a living while the bank owners don't care because your opinion as a non-customer means squat.

Something about the whole Olympic torch thing smaddens me. Violently assaulting the torch carrier, who is likely your very own country-person, in the name of righting human right violations is sick. Which do you think is the more likely scenario protesters? The Chinese political leaders see the massive amounts of ill-will pointed towards them andmake amends for all those human rights violations? Or will they say to themselves, "This wouldn't happen in China." Methinks the second one more likely applies.

BAH! Look at me get all worked up.
