Subject: RE: BS: Toronto G20 rioting begins!
sIx... so, "protesting" is seen as a way of spurring on our world leaders to do better? I thought that is what they were trying to do.


And, the protesters allow the opportunity for nere-do-wells to taint their message while not doing squat to change anything.

It all seems childish to me.

Vote... form political socities of mutual goals... whatever... but "protesting" at such a venue simply seems childish and insignificant to me. Providing a continuing commitment to real change far exceeds carrying a sign where it will make no difference.

In the end, it boils down to this... if the protesters were halfway intelligent, they would not be protesting. They would be organizing and getting their shit together instead of acting like children.

The problems the protesters protest did not just pop up. So why are they not organized and in great numbers? Not just in TO today! The answer is...?

Don't get me wrong. I am upset too. But this shit is inane.
