Conor Kennedy Arrested Because of Environmental Protest: Sexy or Stupid?

Conor Kennedy may have spent his summer making googly eyes at Taylor Swift but this winter, he has much more important things to do. Like getting arrested for a cause he believes in.

Conor is following in his dad’s footsteps, fighting the good fight to save the environment. In fact dad, Robert Kennedy, Jr., was locked up alongside his son, and 45 other Sierra Club protestors including civil rights activist Julian Bond and actress Daryl Hannah. The group had gathered outside the White House on Wednesday in objection to the proposed Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline.

They hoped to send a message to President Obama to deny the pipeline, which they think would be devastating to the environment. And so they strapped themselves to the fence at 1600 Penn to make some noise. Hannah told an AP reporter, “This is a longstanding tradition that we have in this country to stand up for justice.”

Connor and his dad were taken to a local police station and released after paying a fine. Do you like a man who stands up for what he believes in? What do you think: Is Connor Kennedy's arrest sexy or stupid?

    The choices given on this poll do not reflect the true nature of his protest. IT was brave and smart to bring to anyone's attention the absolute rape of this planet by the Republicans.

    HE fights to save the world. WE need more patriots like him. And not the scared rabbits the con party has produced. republicans hate america

    Im glad that someones doing something,regardless of their reason.It seems kinda late. It really sickened me that they were allowed to chase down herds of wild horses with helicopters and terrify them before they were drug,tied,and locked in pens to be euthanized. Why was that even allowed..all for their stupid pipeline?

    I really don't think it was stupid. I I don't think it was sexy either. I may be a Democrat, and a good one at that, but I don't believe in these kind of protests. If you object to something the government is doing then campaign in a legitimate way don't be disrupting things by chaining yourself to the White House fence. In the first place you will look ridiculous and you would never make points that way. Write your Congressman and your Senators. Believe me they listen when letters or E mail are sent. I write my congressional representatives and I always get an answer. Might take a while but I always hear from them.

    Well not really sexy but it was pretty cool he stood up for his beliefs. Not too many people are still looking out for the environment so I truly commend him for his efforts even if he got punished for them.

    It's not sexy - it's smart and honest. He believes in something. Whether he's a Kennedy or not we should ALL support a cleaner planet.

    Here's a short Documentary about FRACKING. Just "ONE" thing we are concerned about. I just love it when someone can actually light their TAP water on fire. Don't you?

    Money/Guilt + Youth + Fame = Moron

    Wow, you're such a brave and noble political activist to get arrested in a public forum knowing full well you'd be out in a matter of minutes after you pay a fine with the Kennedy family's bootlegger money.

    Both choices here are irrelevancies. First, sexy and stupid are not mutually exclusive.
    And, whether he's sexy or not has no relevance to his decision to become involved in a cause he apparently considers important. Good for him. He is doing something he feels is a positive contribution.

    The people that are state worshiper; statists use their religion to kill other religions and proclaim their god of government supreme to all others. They see their god as benevolent and caring, just as other religions see their god(s), but need to kill the other god(s) to make their god omnipotent. At the same time, they do not acknowledge their god as god, nor do they view their religion as a religion. It's just a "belief structure", which is of course a religion.

    Nobody takes any kind of a stand against something without a believeth in right & wrong. There can be no right or wrong without some higher authority to support it. So what ever authority you take to decide what is right or wrong, and you stand or fight for is your god.

    Just so you know, I don't take anything and make it my God. There is only one God, and that's Christ Jesus! Everybody has an opinion but that doesn't mean their opinion can't be wrong.

    Admirable would have been a good response also & is my DEFACTO choice. I admire ANYONE who fights for our environment. We ONLY have ONE planet to live on.

    For all who call themselves Christians & don't care about the environment, you are NOT fulfilling your DUTY as a child of God. He called us to be stewards of this planet he placed us on. IF WE DON'T DO IT THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING TO LIVE?

    But I understand what you meant. Because it's a discussion of a serious topic, the sexy doesn't complement it, so that's why. If it was something else, it would have been OK.

    The Kennedys are NO royal family. We don't need one in this country and don't want one. I agree they are a well known political family, but I detest the thought that America would ever have anything near a royal family. No imperialism here !
