    You may disagree with her methods (as do I at times), but few (mostly climate change deniers) would disagree with her goals. She’s spending her life trying to improve the future of the all humankind.

      Whenever I see people complain about protest methods, it reminds me of this quote:

      First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

      –Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963 in a jail cell in Birmingham Alabama.
