60. Good job on those war protests!
:wow:

The economic summit protests actually manage to force concessions and get people's attention. How much was the WTO on people's radar before Seattle? Anti-globalization protests, from the turtles, to the teamsters, to the black bloc, forced the issue. Multiple tactics, multiple strategies. Keep 'em off balance. Disallow them from meeting anywhere to make decisions without massive police presence. It exposes power for what it is: sham democracy run rampant. Now they have to show themselves for the police state that they are, which is fine by me. I know it goes against the mythography of the liberal dogma, but some of this stuff actually does work.
