i saw this movie, and you're right Cody, it is totally one-sided just as the whole resistance in Seattle was and is--100% against the WTO.
So you got a problem with ideas on making this world better? That's exactly what this movie was about...that's what Seattle was about. Make the world better by having the people on top stop fucking it up. That's a good place to start, no? Did you want a movie about feeding the homeless, or building houses and gardens, or what? I am sure most of the people in Seattle that day do just that...or at least more than the folks on your side of the "picket lines". But this is not a who's dick is bigger game, let's continue.
So people weren't so peaceful you contest? Maybe that's because the WTO ain't so peaceful either? Could it be some reactionary outrage? Sure. But what seems worse? People with rocks breaking windows or Cops with guns and billy clubs and fire hoses breaking people? I didn't see many protesters with guns or billy clubs or fire hoses? Did you? Personally, I would trade a million broken windows for every person unfairly brutalized by police (and it's always unfair, no?) What would you choose?
If it's so easy to pick out the bad things in the world (and sort of agree that it is), why are there so many apathetic consumer-crazed people out there? Are they having a tough time picking out the bad things in the world, or just not caring, or just to afraid and set in their ways to change their lives? Hmmm.
Have fun on your side of the picket lines...where the grass is always green. Fortunately for me, I love to get a little dirty.
I hope one day there won't even be picket lines to speak of.
Wait......what revolution?
Why did so many people show up?
