I always feel a little dirty when I agree with Ken Schram, but I don't think it was necessarily low IQs that prompted the incident. The protest had nothing to do with anti-war sentiment or political views. It was sheer egotism, pure and simple. "I am so important that I can disrupt thousands of people's lives in order to make my voice heard." It doesn't matter what that voice was saying.

It has to do with the way the traffic system is setup in Seattle.

Celsius, its a lower number and on that morning could have been close to nothing on a per person basis.

I'm missing something...is blocking the highway supposed to make me sympathetic to their cause? One needs to understand that WTO riots, peace protests, etc. are class warfare. Class warfare is about intimidation and not about winning hearts and minds.
If one looks at the way the democratic party has used Medicare, Healthcare, welfare rights, school lunch programs, education, income tax reductions, affirmative action, slavery monitary reparations and a host of issues against the elected Republicans, one can see a pattern of class verbal warefare. The peace activists have just upped it a notch and taken it to the streets.

The end times are near... Ken Schram is making sense! HA! LOL! I was thinking pretty much the same thing. Maybe Schram was on 520, that might explain it.

My parents learned something from an Elderhostel that is priceless in Washington, next to the Canadian border.
30's hot
20's nice
10 is cold
0's ice
Kind of puts Celsius into perspective.
