Well the IMF/WB are right down/across the street from the Federal
Reserve, so having the march/dance of demonstrators with some effigy's
of AG and some rad speeches would have them reaching for their Right
Guard. Plus it would send a big signal that US activists are thinking
systemically and we cannot be fooled into perpetuating the 'special
interest group' model of organizing any longer. The walk to the
Treasury Department and the White House and Congress might mean some
have to get in shape :-) Buy some thick socks!
