@SuperNolimetangere Can't believe that you didn't pick up on my sarcasm to the fuckin rich! Scorn man, i can't believe you didn't get it! Scorn scorn scorn!

Join BP boss Tony Hayworth and global Execs 4 Oyal. Drum out dirty oil by meeting us at the Tate Modern Gallery, London, England, 24/6 at 6.p.m for 7p.m. at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel.

These are probably the same people who oppose pollution free dams because they kill the fishys, clean nuclear power because there is a one in a hundred thousand chance of a melt down. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with making money, that whole starving thing is rather bad.

[westing9889]

Sure, give the lobby staff a hard time. You make their jobs more difficult whilst not making any impact on the actual people who can do something. Oh and wasting the police's time too. You're meaningless!

[landshark54]

i like how they are bitching about global warming when they are all bundled up....that makes sense

[dougat]

Damn the lower class, let em eat coal!

[RRRRComposer]

The protest is for a laudible cause, but the video should have been shorter. Showing the disinterested reactions of pedestrians to flyers handed to them hardly serves your cause.

[scottgellermd]

New Coal plants have 'scrubbers' to take out pollutants.

what a bunch of DORKS,get jobs or something hippies

[ilikcagrls]

Let's not burn fossil fuels anymore! Yet....where will we get our energy in the time we need it.

Thats right...MAGIC!

[RRRRComposer]

Yeah, with a sparkling intellect like that, I'll bet the CA girls can't keep their hands off you. Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy... do these sound like magic to you?

I know, let's put on a street performance that both attacks free market capitalism, AND over-simplifies the problem of global warming

[rascaltwitch]

Dallen, you clearly misunderstand the concept of free market capitalism. If you think that energy corporations in America exist solely because of competition, supply and demand...think again. As one of the most subsidized industries in the world, energy, ESPECIALLY coal, is hardly "free market." If you'd like to wave the flag of capitalism, I hope you're ready to demand a ban on government subsidizing of industry.

[dallen8]

I understand free market capitalism, YOU clearly did not pay attention to the video. These guys are protesting Merril Lynch, a corporation, for financing of coal power plants. They are NOT protesting the government's role in subsidizing coal.

They are attacking Merril Lynch and insinuating that the organization is full of fat cat billionaires who are "profiteering off of the backs of the lower classes".

...And I would gladly lead the march to ban ALL government subsidies.

[RRRRComposer]

The insunuation is correct.

[dallen8]

What's an insunuation? I assume you mean insinuation. Furthermore, rascaltwitch did not insinuate anything, he made a conjecture about both the meaning of my comment and my understanding of free market capitalism. Get it together grouch.

I know, let's put on a sarcastic street performance that both attacks free market capitalism AND over-simplifies the problem of global warming.

[KKoskipaa]

You have been called "scrappy" by some in the notably tainted corridors of power. I raise my fluted glass to you. Huzzah! cough. cough.

Nice work guys, just posted this on my blog.

Solidarity from the UK.

[thesisfounder]

Wow! This looks so good, I hope that the revolution, if not televized, will at least be on Youtube. Powered by photovoltaics, of course.

[mogmaar]

Ahh, the sweet smell of protests in the morning
