Re: OT - US Presidential Candiates Arrested!
He got in the papers because the Commission on Presidential Debates set up a police barricade between themselves and the public. Badnarik was acting on behalf of the Arizona Superior Court, by attempting to serve the CPD with an order to appear before the Court. Attempts to serve the CPD at both the debates in St. Louis and at their offices in Washington DC were resisted. So, in effect, they are protesting that the US Government has created an entity that ensures that only Democrats and Republicans have a say in national debates, ignoring all other parties. By trying to serve the CPD with a court order, he was arrested and sent to a medium security prison (rather than the closer city or county jail that one would expect) for doing nothing more than crossing a line while trying to carry out a court order. I think that's the BEST way for him to get in the papers (which he hasn't really, since just about every news outlet has completely ignored the event) -- by fighting against the absurdities within our current government.

Re: OT - US Presidential Candiates Arrested!
From the sounds of the article, crossing the police line was a seperate protest from the papers served?

Civil Disobedience...
Civil Disobedience is an American tradition. What do you think the Boston Tea Party was? (well, vandalism and breaking & entering too, but that was an extreme case)
Civil rights in America only happened because of massive civil disobedience. Ever heard of Selma? Remember Rosa Parks?
If it were not for civil disobedience, black americans would still be sitting in the back of the bus.

But I\'m torn
Getting Bushboy Jr out of the White House before he ruins America is important. Important enough to make me hold my nose and vote for Kerry.
But I'd really like to vote Libertarian.
For the record, I voted for Buchanan in 2000, and voted Libertarian the 2 elections before that.
