Algore may yet regret this "victory". If the police in Rio do not have sufficient manpower to control the crowd, things could get real ugly, real fast. What's the carbon footprint of a big riot?

Bummer.
The Rio concert is the one most likely to be attended because its the only one thats free

[Thrownatbirth]

At least 1,800 people were killed in the first four months of 2007

I heard the Green Zone was pretty safe.

"We met with authorities and" gave them more payoff $$$, er we mean "addressed their concerns"

You would figure the Rio cops would know a thing or two about crowd control.

This may be a case of Liberals just being so much more clever and knowing so much more than everybody else. If they think Good Feelings and Karmic Alignment are going to keep a Million people under control, they may be in for a rude surprise. Observation towers and cameras just means more footage for World's Most Shocking Police Videos VII.

Be prepared for more Million Man Math.

The organizers of these boondoggles have already decided how many people they are going to claim showed up. How many people actually show up is irrelevant. The Round-Heeled Media will be only too happy to report the lie.

Good to know. :-D

The very name "Live Earth" just drips with Kumbaya, group hug, love-fest idealism. Can you imagine attending one of those things and having to be surrounded by those people? {shudder!}

[gridlock]

Can you imagine standing in the middle of the crowd when they stop the music for however long it is going to take for a Million people to sign their stupid little Seven Point Pledge cards? Of a Million people, I bet about fifteen will remember to bring a pen.

Perhaps Lenny Kravits will stand before the crowd, raise his arms, and grant mass absolution...

[gridlock]

Sometime tomorrow somebody will have to start the LIVEEarth Riot and Mayhem LIVE THREAD, so we can follow the carnage in Real-Time...

[LibLieSlayer]

Not without a full-body condom!!! ;-)

[LibLieSlayer]

I can’t wait! I hope it is everything we hope it to be!!!

LLS

[Thrownatbirth]

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow!

[gridlock]

I, for one, hope there is no violence. Even though it would be delicious to see this thing blow up in Algore’s face, there would be a lot of innocent people killed. That is just not worth it.

[LibLieSlayer]

Hi grid,

I do not want anyone hurt either... well ok, I do want gore himself to get b!tch-slapped... but I digress. What I want to see if hypocrisy on parade... filth and dirt and trash and waste everywhere... all from the "green" Earth "save our planet drug and booze fest"!

LLS

[gridlock]

I fear, however, that violence, injury and death is a forgone conclusion. This is not going to work out peacefully. You put a Million people on the beach without enough security, and somebody is going to get hurt.

Of course, from the Libbie point of view, it is all an acceptable cost. After all, they are Saving the Planet!

Rio is the only Live Earth concert free and open to the public. If it had been stopped, it would have been the second cancellation; Istanbul was dropped last month because of a lack of interest and security concerns.

Correction. Wasn't Antarctica also dropped?

And no one sees the irony of cancelling the concert in the muslim country of Turkey over "security concerns" while trying to convince us that man made global warming is the biggest threat we face in the world today.

[gridlock]

Correction. Wasn't Antarctica also dropped?

If Antarctica was dropped, the hype machine has not been informed. They are still going on, ad nauseum about concerts in 7 Continents. You don't get to 7 without Antarctica.

...trying to convince us that man made global warming is the biggest threat we face in the world today.

Global Warming is a nice crusade, that demands people beat up on themselves instead of opposing others. The Liberal PC mind is incapable of processing the fact that any other culture that is opposed to ours might be worth fighting.

It is a given that all moralities are equivalent, and that any opposing view, no matter how abhorrent, must be respected. Therefore the Global War on Terror leads to a paradox, that demands the PC Liberal examine that core belief.

Rather than do that, it is much easier to get oneself worked up into a lather about something abstract like Global Warming. And the beauty of it is, if we lose the fight, it's all made up so it doesn't matter!

Al Gore Jr. originally pushed for government hearings into “naughty” bands like the heroin addicted Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now they prance on stage with him.
