1. Since many of the protesters were involved in the anti-globalization
movement, I suspect they have way better answers. They told them this neo-liberal crap wouldn't work over 10 years ago.

3. Exactly.
I believe what most want is a sustainable economy that benefits everyone and doesn't place greed and profits over people and the environment.

4. Is that sarcasm?
Cause I'd like to know where that's coming from.

The people there do have a goal, they want to be heard and for Prez. O and their own leader P.M. Gordon Brown to realize that the banks are fucking them up and in lieu has been fucking up the major corporations that have been sucking them dry of energy, life, and labor for years. The Corporations in a way to repay these people fire them but their CEO's come out with millions if not billions in payback.

So they're not protesting the G20...they're letting the G20 know what the hell is going on and they find it unacceptable. We should be doing the same in this nation. No one is organizing. No one is going to the WH on a march and letting O know that we understand politics but the Capitalist are fucking us up and we can't live that way.

Take for instance something like JPMorgan Chase Bank. They took millions upon millions in Tarp money and yet they are outsourcing 25% of their jobs. So rather than hire workers from the US who are in need of money and funding their asses from Banruptcy their repayment is to fire us and then hire cheaper workers. That shit won't fly.

On a last note I hate the way the media is making all these people out to be anarchists. That's just trash, they want their government to take charge, just the right way and not in bed with the corporations who want to be saved. At this point a New World order needs to be at hand and it can't be Capitalism as we know it.

7. I see, you prefer shadow government. Why bother asking a question then... especially here.
You will get a common sense answer that I know you don't want to hear!

9. Most of them are smart enough to know..
... that the idiots and assholes that got us here will not be smart enough to get us out.

Here in our own country the best our administration can come up with is to pay off the banks for their mistakes using our money.

Real genius.

12. Is this an April Fool's joke?
If it is it's not really funny.
