Is it just me, or is it that BOTH the WTO and the
chunderheads protesting against the WTO in Seattle are
starting to look equally repellent?
Sure, the World Trade Organization is big-time Evil With Capital Letters and is
probably doing voodoo on trees and Ammurican jobs even as we speak, BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS and whatnot, but some of these protesters look like they would
lose an argument with a ball-peen hammer or a variety of other simple household
objects.
It's the "Fuck the issues, let's tear shit up" crowd out in force, and, as
usual, they're being led by the usual suspects from the gleaming Baghdad by the
Bay to the far south.
Like the damned witches, for instance. CNN reports "60 San Francisco-area
witches" have made the trek to Seattle for the big marshmallow toast. "We are
all connected to the earth and to each other, and we have a responsibility to
have a healthy connection," said Marion Doub, one of the witches. She also
said a bunch of other goopy, nonsensical Teshspew that isn't worth the effort
to quote.
And like what seems to be about 90% of everybody else running amok in downtown
Rain Central, she probably has absolutely no clue what she's doing there,
except she'll get to chant and wave candles around. For others, the sheer joy
of tossing a Molotov cocktail makes the occasion a festive one.
Three cheers for lockstep know-nothingism. Maybe the John Brown Anti-Clan
League will show up and address the really important issues here.
