1. This will sound uncharacteristic of me...

I am anti violence. But I really wish Americans could stand in protest with greater courage. Like for instance when W lied about the WMD and conned decent citizens into supporting the invasion of a sovereign nation that was really no threat to the USA, I was among those who were against the invasion and did nothing other than whine about it. So I do not put myself on a pedestal of any kind.

In Europe there are mass protests and walkouts that basically shut down the nations. Unions from many trades gather their resources and strike for various causes. I personally admire them for that. We are to indentured to the money we owe to take any kind of radical stand...

2. Those Greek police are very subdued. US riot squad tactics are more aggressive.

The Miami FTAA is an example of how jackboots put labor's interests down.
