I hear ya semo, but I suppose it can be argued that the way the Mizzou players did it was more effective. After all, it still has people talking about it now.
It was more effective in causing people to talk, I'll give you that. But in terms of affecting meaningful change? Changing people's attitudes? Progressing toward long-term goals?
Well, they don't seem to have any long-term goals that are legal. I don't believe they've attracted people to their cause - at least, not people who can help them. Just the opposite. So, while they got 2 administrators fired a few months before they would have been ousted anyway, I'm not sure what they actually accomplished. Other than to damage the University and make themselves pariahs. Even their fearless hunger striker has disassociated from them! (He's obviously heading for that political/activist career and realized that association would hinder him.)

This I agree with. They're demands are childish and incoherent at best. They don't seem to know what they want besides conflict and attention.
