When I first heard the next G-20 summit was to be held in Pittsburgh my first reaction was that it was chosen because of its strategic geographical attributes. Secure the bridges and rivers around the city, populate with a heavy security force and proceed with the polished spectacle that will be no doubt be gloss-massaged by the media. Gussy everything up nice & tidy for the dignitaries & their guests and for the TV cameras. The real issues are the reasons why protesters protest. This is their voice. That the folks running this show "give" them the right to protest is absurd. It IS their right no matter what some soundbite spin spins.
props to Patti Smith for not allowing age to determine if she's gonna create or not and believing her best work is yet to come. how truly sad for those who believe otherwise & have fallen prey to America's spoon-fed fallacies about growing older.
