this is what seattle was about...remember? i got the crap kicked out of me by riot 
police in melbourne for sitting on the ground (in a very provocative manner!) 
blockading the world economic forum in 2000. its very clear how the world 
works, it becomes even clearer when you see it up close. 


woods:
   Curious...  Did they charge you with any crime?  Was there probable cause, thus, 
something in the law books they cited and let you know about before they hit you.  
Did they read you your rights?  Don't know if melbourne has rights that are said 
to people before they arrests by cops or not.  In the U.S. they are supposed to read 
you your rights (say them to you), and then continue with the arrest.  If they don't 
read you your rights then the case is thrown out of court.



gav:
what i do care about is that a society that allows such obscene resource concentration 
is totally out of balance and...well look what is happening....



woods:
    As with the monetary system we currently use.  All people cannot be kings and queens.  It's 
monetary fact.  If everybody had the same amount of money, then money would not have much 
value.  We would all have the same amount of purchasing power.
    I've heard that if the rest of the world could use the resources that the U.S. and Western Europe 
uses, then we would need seven more planet earth's to provide enough raw material to go around.  Have 
you heard about this?
