Although Americans are docile and tamed, we'd do well to remember that some humans don't take being buggered kindly. These two pictures were taken this last week. The first was in Chile, the second in Korea. I like it when people go out into the streets and tangle with armored authority, reminds me that unlike Americans, large swaths of humanity have yet to be domesticated by the system; maybe they never will be. Now the fact that we are on the winning side of a pretty darn gruesome and protracted war for economic dominance makes it easy, convenient and even logical not to complain in any effective or dangerous way; this I understand. National, racial and class boundaries help the fortunate not feel guilty, but it doesn't change the nature of what is going on globally and that lots of people aren't down with the program.
"Who can protest and does not, is an accomplice in the act."
