Reply #3: Fascinating, isn't it?

"Troublemakers and rabblerousers" are some of the terms they're using on MSNBC.

The fact that we present valid protest in this fashion does not bode well for any attempts to protest in this country. I suppose we're all just supposed to move peacefully and silently down the streets, well-dressed and singing in harmony, so that the MSM can report and ignore, report and ignore -- and they act surprised that NO CHANGE is effected.

I'm not a fan of violence, but this belief that ANY protest is wrong is enough to make me cheer the rock throwers. I have a certain sympathy for the French young folks, anyway -- just because we are owned body and soul by the corporations doesn't mean that everyone should willing accept the chains.
