Are war protesters social deviants?

Gosh I hope not. As a social deviant myself, I want there to be as much difference between me and the wacky anti-warriors.

This article says otherwise:

COLLEGE STATION, March 26, 2003 - As the price of war continues to mount, both in lives and dollars, so too do the protests, but the act of protesting may say more about the protestors than it does about the subject they are demonstrating against, according to a study by Texas A&M University's Laboratory for Studies of Social Deviance...

For individuals who do not feel alienated, Kaplan notes, engaging in protest activities might actually evoke negative self-judgments, overriding any self-enhancing aspects that might have been associated with participation in the protest.

Whew! I'm normal again.
