Vananda Shiva is kicking some fine butt! She's warning her WEF audience
that these protests will get uglier and uglier if smug suits don't stop
carelessly ridiculing dissidents. Capitalism, she says, is killing
democracy, and if they don't know that, the people outside bloody-well do.
Nice.
Wonder if that'll make the nightly news or the international press ...
Body-count so far: two in hospital with minor injuries, and two arrests -
and some absolutely poisonously fuming suits (some of 'em still haven't got
in, and none of those who did get in could get out for lunch - poor lambs).
Reckon we'll be hearing any minute now (again / still) how such democratic
expressions actually constitute a terrible threat to democracy ...
Cheers,
Rob.
