Denver Police Arrests 91 Protesters
Outside the convention, Denver police arrested ninety-one protesters Monday night after a standoff near Civic Center Park. Police in riot gear fired pepper balls and pepper spray at the activists in an attempt to prevent the protesters from reaching the 16th Street Mall.
Funny, sounds kind of like the way the Chinese government treated protesters at the Olympics: required them to get permits to protest and then only allowed them to protest in designated areas. Or what's happening in Thailand right now. But you won't read about the DNC protests on The New York Times, no.

The land of the free! Bullshit! Interesting post.
I don't agree with you with your position about single-payer healthcare system.
Your comment in François' blog:
"I know he supports things like single-payer health care, but so do many social anarchists. Hell, I support it. It’d be way better than the current HMO system. Like many anarchists, Chomsky thinks government is bad for the results it produces, not for because it is inherently evil, but this hardly amounts to him being a statist."
mmmmm....
Just comparing the costs of the Canadian and UK universal healthcare system to the fascist health system of the HMOs in the US, Belinsky's probably right, at least in terms of cost. Remember that neither of these options even remotely represent a system of freedom in medical services.
Roderick, as usual, has some very good insight into this: http://www.theartofthepossible.net/2008/08/28/poison-as-food-poison-as-antidote/
That was from a few days ago.
