Ah, everyone's favorite protestors. If it wasn't for Freerepublic, I wouldn't know who these punks are. For what it is worth, a very good buddy of mine is an "activist" in Oakland, and even he sees the idiocy of these people. He's one of these guys for whom activism is a "profession," kind of like a high school science teacher I met recently who claims the title of "environmentalist," rather than, say, "teacher." Anyway, I guess my friends parents' pay his rent. He's actually a really talented poet, but it is always in the context of his political activism. I mean can you imagine someone asking you what you do, and replying "Oh, I'm a political activist"?

Free republic search on "Black Bloc" only searches titles.

Of course there's always good ol' Google

True ---out here in what the arrogant liberals like to call "fly by country" where the average working people live, there aren't any protests of any significance.
