Mike, I thought there'd be a TL&EV post from you by now regarding the looting and vandalism in Seattle. Maybe they didn't give it much press elsewhere, but here, 3 TV stations showed hours of coverage. Starbucks, Nike, The Gap, Nordstrom, and many, many other retailers were vandalized. These people bent on doing battle with the cops -- I really don't get their point. Bad childhood, or what? It's possible that most of the ugliness was orchestrated by those who simply want to make another city think twice about hosting the WTO. Or it be bored teens and twentysomethings who don't find much meaning in life. Or millennium madness gearing up. I hate to think how ugly they would have become had the bubble already burst and the checks from home had been curtailed.
