SEVILLE, Spain June 22 — Tens of thousands of people banged drums, blew whistles and danced their way through Seville's streets Saturday night in a rally against globalization.

The Interior Ministry said about 20,000 people took part in the rally. Organizers said 10 times that number marched. No violence was reported in the two-hour rally.

Last March, an anti-globalization rally in Barcelona saw major clashes between protesters and police, significant property damage and dozens of arrests.

Saturday's rally coincided with the end of a European Union summit in Seville, where member countries agreed to tighten border controls to reduce illegal immigration.

You know, these protesters don't want corporate globalization, but embrace cultural globalization. It doesn't make any sense.

Yes fellow leftists, lets all get together and protest the improvemnt of the living standards of the poor people of the world. May they forever live in utter poverty and squalor so that we may eulogize them and have a reason for our own miserable existences.
