Default Re: Are we heading for a summer of rage!

It's looking really likely because the scene seems to be set doesn't it. I like Gandhi's quote:-

"If one has no affection for a person or a system, one should feel free to give the fullest expression to his disaffection so long as he does not contemplate, promote, or incite violence."

I'm not against peaceful protest for what I believe are the right reasons. Namely the right for all to live on this planet without being indebted, manipulated, poisoned or worn down with boring meaningless jobs.

However I know that a lot of protesters (most of them?) don't see things my way! For example some just want things as they were to continue the spend spend spend on bigger houses, cars, plasma tvs, holidays, hairdos, cosmetics etc. Then they moan moan moan about their life because they never have enough they always want more more more.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what happens
