Anti-War Movements

I think that many people just find an immediate pleasure in smashing things especially if they make interesting sounds etc. At the local dump people leave old windows that have been replaced. They are useful for making cold frames etc. but I witnessed a couple of locals--adults not kids--gleefully smashing them. This simple pleasure can be enhanced no doubt if at the same time the windows are private property of capitalists. I suppose there must be some etiquette involved. Only windows of firms listed in the writings of Naomi Klein are fair targets. Mom and pop shops are off limits etc.. But I am sure there must be some more sophisticated explanation forthcoming.

Cheers, Ken Hanly
