there's plenty of cameras and video of what happened.
I think I am heading towards Headache "I hate hippies" territory with this at this point.
If they had any sense or organization beyond being a bunch of boobs with some leisure hours to flush down the toilet, they would be marching on D.C. and occupying the capital rotunda.
I just think they're going after the wrong target, if any target at all, in Wall Street.
there are many cases to be made for what went wrong with the financial melt down in 2008,

Serious question--does anyone know why the (self-professed) 'anarchist' contingent seems so much larger in the Pacific Northwest than elsewhere? Is it an outgrowth of the radical arm of the environmental movement or something?
Right...but that more or less confirms the observation, doesn't it? I mean I've always thought of the 'Pacific Northwest,' at least as a cultural zone, comprising WA, OR and northern CA...is that not the case?L A has been pretty mellow,
most of the anarchy has been in Oakland, CA and some in Portland, OR

Oh no, we'd be talking state legislators. A national convention as per Article 5. Federal legislators are way too massively dependent on campaign contributions to do the job.And then it would take people with political power to willingly commit political suicide. Do these people exist?
