<<The protests insured publicity for the protest groups and continued harm to the children and the environment in the offending countries.>>

It is hard to analyze your posts for concepts and not motive, because you are clearly politically slanted against protestors and towards authority figures and multinational corporations. You prove this by making statements that are untrue, such as your comments about the protestors who were being interviewed on television as being unable to articulate their cause. I watched the same interviews, and the protestors were highly articulate.

But getting back to the statement of yours that I quoted at the beginning of this post, can you explain logically how the protestors caused continued harm to children and the environment in the offending countries when they were protesting the status quo, which harms children and the environment in offending countries? Are you seriously asserting that the WTO and the multinational corporations that exploit and profit from damaging children and the environment would have stopped doing so if only it weren't for the rude protestors? Or if not that, what ARE you asserting?
