What the IMF and World Bank fear isn't riots at their conventions; that just distracts antiglobalists and takes their energy away!

What the World Bank most fears is a boycott of its bonds by pension funds and cities - much like the antiapartheid "divestment" crusade of 15-20 years ago. Already, antiglobalists have gotten a few small cities to boycott World Bank bonds - and are now trying to get a giant professors' retirement fund (TIAA-CREF) to boycott them. With the leftism predominant among college faculty, I give that effort excellent chances.

It's not going to happen. Don't make the mistake most Freepers make and confuse a small minority of loud leftwing loonies in academia with the average professor.
