Calling the anti-environmental vandals and academic strreet thugs non-violent is like calling the so-called anti-globalization movement the voice of the people.
I am an environmentalist, green and supporter of corporate responsiblity and also I am in no way shape or form a supporter of the globalized anti-globalization movement which is populated by individuals who are so irrelevant to the functioning of the world that they first should "GET A REAL JOB" (it's never too late even though you wrote a dissertation on French post-structuralism speaking of things that should induce violent protests.) and who also are the self-appointed spokespeople for all the victims of the world. |
