apparently many who weren't involved in g8 protests had servers raided as well, read the funny commentary at so36.net.

I must be stupid or something. (There's a great straight line for you.) It seems like these far left demonstrators yelling against globalization are much the same people as those shouting "Live locally, think globally" or whatever that bumpersticker phrase says.

They drive the cars with anti-Iraq bumper stickers on one side of the car and then Free Tibet on the other side. Forgetting the only way to get China to leave Tibet is with a war.

Well, now, welcome to the Fourth Reich.
First, German police kidnap children and then imprison their parents for exercising their right to home school their own progeny against socialist indoctrination. Now, they are seizing servers, and not just people, for exercising their right to voice their opposition to socialist globalization---and all under the hackneyed ruse of either "security" or "anti-terrorist measures". Nice try, government guys, but we're not buying into it.
Frighteningly, it is the 1930's happening all over again, except, this time, by the far left and not the far right.
Al-Jazeera, nothwithstanding, what are the so-called "G-8" members so afraid of, anyway: the TRUTH?

The fatcats and elite have the reins of power and they will use any and all means to stiffle dissent. America does not have exclusivity on this tactic since Bush will go to any extreme to stay in Power while perpetrating a war of Lunacy on the average American. It is not Lunacy for the rich that Cheney/Haliburton, wolfowitz and the oil lobby, which control thoughts, insist on shoving down the throats of the illiterate and followers that inhabit our nation.
Dissent within America is an illusion that seems to be lacking like the other wrong war, Vietnam. Apathy is the prevailing idiom with the consequences obvious each and every day with Bush as our continued Leader. How anyone can accept this administration with all the corruption that prevails is unbeliveable. As an independent, regardless of party I ponder the lack of responsibility that the average citizen shows.
All nations elitist should be shown the exit door instead of promoting wealth for the few.
