Using robots will demonstrate that the people behind the protest don't really care enough to march themselves (or can't find enough real people to march with them). The protesters will be marginalized (like they should be in many cases... .001 percent of the population of a city marching should not cause change for the other 99.999 percent who don't care). We can then get on to more important news, like the moral dilemma over whether or not professors should use a red pen or a dark purple one when grading a test.]]>Jan 20th 2006 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/20/autonomous-non-violent-agents-protest-bots-who-spread-peace/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/20/autonomous-non-violent-agents-protest-bots-who-spread-peace/
If the little hipsters peddling Socialist Worker outside my work today were robots, I'd gladly push them over without a moment's hesitation. I say bring on the robots.
