    Protesting is fun (at least without a police state)! And regardless, never boring!

    yes, Hype. That's a part of the reason why you'll see a lot of students there. getting students to protest about anything is about as difficult as getting a dog to eat.

    Carmen Lawrence. Carmen Lawrence??? ok. If you take her as any sort of authority on anything.

    By the way, Canberra. While being the seat of the Australian government, consists of a little more than "basically just parliament, the embassies and other goverment buildings". If you have any queries about it, just ask the people whose homes were recently threatened by the bushfires. They might disagree.

    There's no one living in those leafy suburbs... They're all government buildings. Is that right?

    *laughs* Oh... Asguard.... you are, if nothing else, good for a laugh.

    Think about this sentence. Think about it very, very hard.

    If what you want comes to pass, these very same people are going to be doing your own "news" reporting.

    Free America!

    So much for our American Freedom! The mayor of New York blocked many manifestations on grounds that they had no permit and those that had permit, they were allowed to Manifest but not to march, they could just seat or stand around like encaged sheep’s.
    Can some one fucken explain that to me? We, the American better stop opening our big mouths, and realized what kind of secret-service military type government we have!

    Microzoft - I have new hope since those demonstrations. Although the US govt is entering a destructive and paranoid period, I don't believe fascism can reach critical mass anymore. The Nazis never had to pen up protesters- no groups of Germans ever came out to protest before the Anschluss.

    We did, and we will. They'll have to shoot me (and at least 1,000,000 others) on the street to escape being disgraced and discredited in the end. They know that after the first hundred dead, citizens would likely start shooting back.

    I know it sounds corny, but I always get so charged up at protests-

    "We Shall Overcome"

    I really don’t have much hope, particularly when we analyze our own culture. We don’t seem to care because even if our government makes a mistake, it always finds a way to cover it up and turn it into good. We are underestimating current events.

    Yes, we should overcome one way or another. If the war gets started, at least the good out of it will be deterioration inside our own government systems and finally the international community will realized was the US all about. This will be the result of having a nation that had profited from all conflicts in the last couple of hundred years, and converted all that cash in military power. Now, with that military power, (we invest in military more then all Europe put together), there’s no need to be diplomatically intelligent, there is no need to show wisdom.
    European hasn’t spend on armament and now enjoy a better medical and social security system. Where did we go wrong?

    Fascism may not reach critical levels, but really what you call a government that can bully the world, use profane language, and insult other countries on simple suspicion?
    Change the law at will by twisting arms in congress, and capitalize in a tragedy that either he new about it or even was accomplice to it. Closed down investigations, and sets as secret anything he wants. So, we are not in a fascism but we are certainly walking the path. The German retired their Justice Minister for saying that Bush capitalized on citizens sentiments in similar manner as Hitler did. Our government compares Germany as totalitarian governments like Syria and Cuba and no ones need to apologize. See the difference?

    I don’t think congress will allow Bush and his war cabinet to get away with this historical suicidal endeavor, but in a way I hope the do let him getaway with it, because sometimes people Here in the US and overseas need to pay a dear price to finally fucken wake up.
