Yes, now that you Americans have had your 1905, logical debate is apparently no longer required and abuse will suffice. Maybe Max can give a bit of background on who organised the updated Boston Tea Party during which foreign steel was dumped into a harbour during the WTO events. LBOers may have missed this in their excitement over all the other activity in Seattle.
