[quote=Anonymous]What they were doing was effectively a sit-in, and it is a part of protest from the civil rights era. King did it, Ghandi did it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sit-in In the case of a sit-in, usually one occupies the building that is the center of the dispute - whether it is a lunch counter or a bus station or a library. But in this case, the target is the government. It would be dangerous and irresponsible to stage such an event in our Capitol Building, and impossible at the White House. They can't do it at Hart or Rayburn or the Supreme Court. A museum is a public place that gets attention without creating a major security incident. It is an inconvenience. I am of mixed mind on the use of sit-ins, but I can also understand why they chose Air and Space. [/quote]
