[kj] Official Site

[GREG SLAWSON]

I agree that a lot of the London protesters looked and acted a bit like idiots, but Brenden is right, they have important causes to advertise (4 main issues were addressed--the 2 wars, the banker bailout fiasco, the environment, and the gay rights issue [BTW, who are a bunch of bigots to tell people they can't get married--I have several students w/same sex parents and they are great parents...]). Often the anarchists make these protests into a circus atmosphere. However, in the US at least, often the cops send a provocateur into the crowd, dressed like an anarchist or whatever, to start smashing windows, in order to give the uniformed cops an excuse to attack (although it looked like this might not have been the case in London). At a recent Wall St protest, pictures were taken of 2 cops dressed like anarchists standing alone behind police lines...

Do you honestly believe that’s what it all boils down to? Like none of them are a might testy about being expected to bail out the banks who largely got us into this mess in the first place? None of them have lost their jobs, their homes, seen their savings and retirement values demolished etc…and the money they paid into the govt’s coffers is going to those responsible? None of them are pissed off at the US govt (beginning with Clinton, furthered by Bush) for doing away with Glass Steagal – the law enacted after the GREAT DEPRESSION to prevent the same happening again?

There were all sorts of Placards there. There is no cohesion or message, just a buncha twats who consider themselves
"anarchists" or whatever else acting like idiots. Personally, if I had the money (Irony?) I'd go and protest about "The Gathering" Email
list and what a pain it is to add attachments.

Now I'm off to write letters to the Gov't about the dangers of Sani-wipes and the countless billions
of microbes it's killed. 

FREE MICROBES FROM THE MURDEROUS HUMANS!!!
