Protest Continues To Dog Megaloads

A plan to move massive shipments of oil field equipment along a winding, scenic northern Idaho highway has sparked rock-throwing protests as Native Americans and environmentalists continue to try to block the megaload’s route to Canada. A 225-foot-long load began moving on U.S. Highway 12 through North Idaho on Monday night despite the objections of Nez Perce tribal members and others, who argue the trucks should not be allowed to pass through tribal land or along the scenic Lochsa and Clearwater rivers. And while Montana has now granted permission for the material to pass through that state, the dispute shows no signs of easing/ Associated Press . More here. (SR photo: Tyler Tjomsland)

Question: Are you more/less likely to be sympathetic to protesters of the megaloads as demonstrations continue?
