My Answer.

A mailing my mother received this week from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association asked on the envelope "What went wrong during the G20 Summit?"  To me the answer is obvious:  The G20 showed up.

Airtight Security.

James Nicoll has come up with a brilliant way to prevent the kind of mess that we saw in Toronto on the weekend:  Hold G20 summits on the International Space Station.  The Black Bloc idiots would have a pretty hard time causing trouble when space travel costs far more than they can afford, and the cost of flying the leaders to the ISS is likely less than what was spent on a questionable security effort.  And just think what kind of boost it would give space travel in the public eye.

You're Just Lazy.

Frankly given the small number of visitors I get I doubt any of you will be reading this.  But if by some chance you're one of the violent twits who have spent the afternooon smashing things in Toronto then the appropriate description for you is lazy.  It takes no effort to smash things.  You're not changing the world.  You're not brave.  You're not making a difference.  That would actually involve physically doing something, like working at a food bank or a homeless shelter.  Even if all you did was write letters to politicians or write a blog you'd be doing more to help promote whatever cause you supposedly believe in.  Instead all you've done is to play into the hands of those who would marginalise legitimate dissent.  Good job, losers.
