Sauropod said it best: the only thing they hate about the World Bank is that they're not in charge of it. They want more $ taken from U.S. taxpayers and given abroad. They want forgiveness of world debt.

I'll bring a sense of humor. It is sort of funny that these green party people totally LITTER my front yard. These self-proclaimed environmentalists little everywhere! I wish they'd litter in their own front yard.

My prediction: the city will not let them troop about as in years past. It costs our city police force *a lot* to protect the citizens every time they invade, and that means I have to pay more taxes. Everyone thinks of DC as a good place to go and protest, but for those of us who live there, and for our police force (both city and federal) already burdened with security precautions after 9/11, it's really inappropriate in a time of war to come to town and add to the chaos.

I'm not sure the city should agree to give them a protest permit except under very restrictive conditions. I think they the city and the feds should do themselves a favor and put them on a much shorter leash and not let them destroy so much. Sure, it's their right to protest. But if people SAY they're coming to down to disrupt things and destroy property, I think the city has a perfect right to curtail their movement. I'd be really surprise if they were permitted to go anywhere/do anything this year. Here's to hoping they won't be permitted to do this.

I'm not too sure about that, FTH. Apparently today the illustrious Chief Ramsey recommended that folks who drive to work in DC or have to come in for other business should bring something to drink and a bag lunch, and prepare for traffic jams longer than usual. It doesn't seem like Chief Ramsey wants to do much to uphold the rule of law and keep the peace in DC this time.

Note to Gore_ War_ Vet:
That last sentence I wrote probably doesn't apply to you or your Patriots Rally truck. Ramsey will no doubt be ready to throw the book at you and the #@!* truck.

"Chief" Ramsey should be calling out the National Guard and revoking permits for this crowd because of their stated intentions to massively violate the law, block traffic and shut down our nation's capital in a time of war on Friday.

Instead, the "Chief" is advising law abiding motorists to bring a book and a sandwich to pass the time as they sit in long back-ups.

There are no calls for law breaking on Saturday. If they hold to their pattern, most of the anarchists will have gotten themselves arrested by then.
