I agree that the Agnone study is interesting.   My first thought upon reading 
the findings, however, was that U.S. society has changed dramatically since 
1964, and so have the Republican and Democratic parties.    

I'd be more interested in a study that focused on the past fourteen  years.  
In any case, given what has happened to civil protests and protesters 
recently, as pointed out by Bill Witt, I find it hard to believe that the biggest 
reason we are in our current predicament is because we haven't been doing enough 
street protests.

"After assending and passing thro a narro Strip of wood Land, Came Suddenly 
into an open and bound less Prarie, I say bound less because I could not See 
the extent of the plain in any Derection...This prospect was So Sudden & 
entertaining that I forgot the object of my prosute and turned my attention to the 
Variety which presented themselves to my view."  (William Clark)
