Will burning McDonalds help???????

I agree with the fact that Mcdonalds will lose money when activists burn mcdonalds` restuarants down, But is that an effective way to get rid of McDonalds? I think not .It would be effective if it happened each day, but even if it works will it help humanity?Then we also should burn Shell,nike,mercedes,sony....etc...etc...etc down.Will it make people aware of the fact that this world can only be saved if we`d share it equally, against all odds?I don`t think so.The campaign against McDonalds should`t be seen as a campaign against only McDonalds.We wont shut up if all Mcdonalds buildings are gone; Burger King`s buildings would rise. It`s a campaign against the worldwide system where multinational corporations destroy the world in their develish search for power,oppressing the poor and.......you probably know what i mean.This system I`m talking about is too big to burn down with a handfull of caring activists so I think educating the public is the most efficient way to fight this system. People who risk jail for burning Mcd.... down can better start educating the public how hard and slow it may seem (as far as im concerned)
Better five years educating than five years in prison.
