Is the pan mightier than the sword?

The "activism" on our campus is largely a regressive movement. This does not necessarily mean that the demonstrators are unsuccessful in meeting their objectives; there are many signs that point to the increasing efficacy of groups like Princeton Against Protectionism (PAP) and the Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) to affect the food we eat, the coffee we drink and the way we conduct discourses on rights.PAWS, in particular, thanks to excellent leadership that combines charisma, diligence and innovation, has risen to be one of the most visible activist groups on campus with such displays as wrapping half-naked students in cellophane to spread the message that consuming meat is unethical.
