That's all that has to happen, but on a bigger scale, and then we are all stuck trying to defend this thing called Tiki. What if 50 people with signs show up at the next marketplace? The news will cover them and anyone in an aloha shirt saying "they should have a Mai Tai and cool out" will doom us all... And once on the news, the next protest will double, and double... and then spread across the country. It can happen. And the media loves a shit show. They won't seek out the smartest response to the protest, but the worst.
