    Iceland: Protesters Attack Hotel, Shutting Down Live Political Broadcast

    Good stuff in Iceland.... Force the b*stards out. Expect scenes like this in Ireland in '09-'10.

    Meanwhile, in Athens, arsonists attack at least 10 banks!

    Good

    The Revolution has started then (I thought I felt a disturbance in the Force today..). First Russian Communsim failed, then unrestrained Capitalism crashed and failed. Time to think again, humanoids.

    Why?

    Is there some link between breaking windows and economic prosperity that I am missing?

    What would the placards say?

    "Down with the Government! You shouldn't have done what we asked you to do!"
    A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

    I think they are mainly excited about the violence part. Some don't need further justification as reasons for positive immigration

    When the democratic system has failed and your life savings have been stolen, people have no alternative but civil disobedience.

    If that fails, rioting will ensue. Left to fester, it will eventually lead to full-scale civil war.

    I'm sorry, I like to think we can restrain ourselves before we decide to rush out and riot.
    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    That may do for you, but mine will read, "Down with the Government! You shouldnt have done what THEY asked you to do!"

    Is encouraging to see that you are on the right track, though. Good work!
