More Protests -- Ugh

There are few things on this planet I hate more than IMF-World Bank protests. Pestilence. Illinois Nazis. The Dallas Cowboys.

Can't these freaks get together in a park somewhere in the country and read poetry, instead of affecting my drive into work? Yes, the protests will be smaller than in the past, which gives me hope that I won't be stuck in a three-hour traffic jam to get into the office. Actually, the past couple times, it hasn't been so bad. But it's still irritating, and it's usually small businesses such as restaurants and retailers downtown that are forced to shut down by these folks. The rest of us can telecommute and continue the oppression of the world's poor from our nice suburban homes.

These guys need to re-think their methods. Heck, go protest globalization in a mall instead of The Mall.
