The IMF riots (and by riots I mean peaceful demonstrations dispersed by  bullets, tanks and tear gas) cause new flights of capital and government
bankruptcies This economic arson has its bright side - for foreigners, who can then pick off remaining assets at fire sale prices.

you mean demo farms such as fallsbrookcentre.com
or something.  
Democracy? No Crazed Demonology thanks very much. The adventurous timeslots
'n' stages in a human life has lately been (self)labeled as wake up (as
well as halt) call. But the large majority composed of ageranges from newborns
to well ons live by  more steady rote and regularity rules than the
protesters can come up with guaranteedly  tried, true, honest and
fair mechanisms for. So, what if and of Hi-tec sector socialization????    
That would take an army occupation of key locales No?    
Those after excitement, honour, partnerships, conscience and equity are
burdened by the bad name blocks filled with at best equal parts vaguely
accurate criticism, infantile definace and noxtox misguided searches to
loosen and lose a yet deeper layer of undefined stuck in the muddity, stink
'm mode and thank 'm oddity.

quoting Turmel from the 240K file at:  http://poetpiet.tripod.com/Citizens_Executive_Administration.html

Get the picture. When you Protest-Instruct, your big smile lets
everyone know you are no threat to the system operators, only to the
system's engineering. You can be civil as you suggest your alternative
to the machinery drivers. With no alternative to offer, Protest-
Obsctuctors cannot act civil and end up getting punched out by the
cops for simply making trouble.

So now the fences are up in Quebec bycause the threatening nature of the
Protest-Obstructors who the media choose to focus on has prevented
even the non-threatening Protest-Instructors like me from any
meaningful participation. Kids in combat boots and gas masks make the
news. Not a guy in a white hat offering an answer.

Having participated in most major Anti-Poverty Actions in recent
decades, such as in the Battle in Seattle, Washington, Birmingham,
Paris, Cologne, Philadelphia, New York, even Windsor and now Quebec, I
have watched as organizing groups like "50 Years Is Enough" censor all
discussion of non-violent alternatives and steer the masses of
demonstrators to violent means. It's "Bring your combat boots, gas
masks and first aid kits but leave your alternatives at home." Sad to
say but the kids in the streets are being conned by the back-room
organizers who have their own hidden agenda which isn't finding a non-
violent solution to global problems. Like UNILETS.

Strength through diversity and all that AND we need alternatives and positive solutions yes - I don't think 'the kids on the street' are being controlled in quite the way you suggest though.

Am I the only one, or do others find the main article virtually incomprehensible?
