"Is it just me, or is anyone else just amazed at the farcical turn that has taken some world news?
Riots about cartoons... riots by lazy kids... "
Add protesters in American streets with mexican flags demanding the US not enforce our own laws and I do tend to get the feel we are going to hell in a handbasket.
I was getting more to the ridiculous being elevated to the sublime.
I don't mind the mexican flags showing up in the demonstrations here. It has backfired on them, undermined their 'cause', and shown that they're not to be taken seriously. It was self-destructive and everything we should hope for in our opposition.
