With pro-market views such as these can we correctly surmise you >were not in Seattle yesterday............. > >Cheers >Dominic I am not at all interested in opening a political discussion regarding the WTO on this list, but just want to note that Seattle had one of it's most interesting days in quite a while yesterday. The action moved in near my neighborhood once they drove the protesters out of downtown, where more than a few friends park their scooters on the street (thank God I finally got me a back yard), and unfortunately we will begin to find out whether or not tear gas and pepper spray harm paint. No longer do we need envy Detroit or Chicago's Devil's night, when we can have 50,000 people from out of town trash our city instead. Sad but entertaining. There is a post-riot-isn't-it-intersting-what-got-trashed/burnt/stolen/vandalized ride through the city, national gaurd permitting of course, planned for tonigh already. On a further note, the only store to carry Clark's desert boots in Seattle went out of business only 2 weeks before stores on both sides fell victim to last night's looting, so I guess we won't be seeing any crusty punks or gansters sportin' them this time around.
