Endless din hinders rather than helpsThis Wednesday is touted to be another day of mass protest by the "reincarnated" anti-establishment Khana Ratsadorn group, formerly known as the Free Youth Movement, Free People Movement and, lately, the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration. Political protests are a numbers game -- the bigger the crowd, the louder the voice and the greater the bargaining power. Protest leaders have given assurances that rallygoers will not block the road. For the protest leaders, their courage in breaking the silence on the unspeakable issue is admirable. What they need is the right approach so that their demands can be heeded where appropriate, and this should involve endless noisy street protests.
