Maybe they just want to create in your minds a false sense of effectiveness.
Maybe they want congress to increase their budgets - enable new 'weapons'
to be developed - convince that new laws have to be accepted and passed.

Maybe its all just a stupid game. What is the N30 about anyhow? Are these
'tactics' just slapping the system or is there a real strategy? Are these
'tactics' just like babies crying to get attantion or like rallies that
cause a bit of noise and disruption - or can they go beyond that? 

After the disruptions, the crashed systems, who has to fix them up? Who has
to work overtime? After the paint-bombs are thrown, the streets littered
with pamphlets, who has to clean it all up? Are *they* really affected - or
is it some poor 'street cleaner' who has to wipe the paint of the system?

Adios, Sam.
