I said what I said because Liza claims that she has "been to and covered many, many protests and seen many protesters taunting cops on purpose, and heard many, many demonstrators yelling 'this is what a police state looks like.'"

My response is, one, her perception doesn't seem to be an accurate picture of America today, where, (unlike America of the long sixties or some countries where people are really fed up now), you hardly ever see big, angry protests or uprisings, and two, even if some did behave exactly as Liza says they often do, that's still not a crime, unless in a police state. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
