Some things that are worth a read:

Agreed. It's just a shame, plain and simple, to know that these small pockets of violence perpetrated by a number of thugs will be take and pervert the real issues at hand.

I understand your frustration, sir.

A first hand account from Seattle on the Stranger:

It's really odd. I feel like I've been waiting for a good new PC PopCap game for years.

What I would really like to know is where the heck are their new PC games? And their Facebook Slingo game does not count.

Aw. No more sexy Sam Worthington voice.

Agreed. It's really sad to see them besmirching those have put a lot of work into peaceful change.

I suppose so. It's something I like to dream at from a distance.

I guess. I'd like to believe we could work toward being a world that isn't that shitty. "Just be decent," is my friend's motto, but it seems to be one that many people can't seem to follow.

If you want to get particular, it's not an ideology. Anarchists abhor ideologies because they boil down to another form of domination.

It's used that way because it has been perverted into shit like this.

Come on, Jesus.

Also I just accidentally replied to myself.

I've been hearing rumblings about that - the organized Black Bloc in the major protest cities.

Mostly I agree, but I disagree on the point about anarchists. Anyone that uses random violence and calls them an anarchist is an idiot. Anarchy, at its core and as a theory, is intended to be the ultimate peaceful society, and abhors violence as a concrete manifestation of dominance and power.

Oh god. I just did a random Google Image search for Persona Social Link. I didn't even notice that. I was noting the fact that Chie was at Rank 9. Ha. Fuck.

Both of you deserve a cookie for being level headed.

Sigh.

Persona taught me to focus on a few good social links - level them up proper, and they can help real well. Also, sometimes they end in sexy time.
