I m no sociologist, but several American subcultures made up most the serious people who were there. Instead of dismissing these folks, we should see an opportunity. Most of the kids aren t solid in their positions or well educated about the facts. By respecting them and getting in their ear, we can turn a lot of them around. I don t blame them for not choosing the bores on the right.
Street theatre is more fun.
I was surprised to see so many Op-Ed s defending it as if they were defending free markets and open trade. They must know they are lying. I assume it was not the anarchists. Of course they don t mind using violence against me to impose environmental laws and what have you. These anarchists were controversial protesters.
