Interesting. Wonder what your take is on people rioting for 'reform'. Use to be we supported struggles for freedom from oppression, justice and emancipation. Now we have wet dreams about 'reform'.
Snoortt! I cannot even begin to express the disgust I feel for these 'protests' and their desire for 'reform'. Milquetoast dreck.

Just a note on "How To Kill Bloggers : Take Away Their Anonymity"
I've had direct experience of this while posting at The Oz. Seems regular commenter there Chris Oliver actually works for News Ltd Cumberland Newspapers as a sub editor. The main Oz switchboard identifies him as such. Oliver is a regular Right wing poster at The Oz who also, on occasions, has taken to outing "anti-Semites", ie anyone who says anything bad about Israel. He claimed in one post that anonymous posters had less credibility than those (such as himself) who appended their names. So he felt at ease on occasions in divulging the personal names of some some of these "anti-semites", going so far as to try to publicly identify their home addresses and inviting Mossad to "take note". A few testy emails by me to The Oz editors raised the issue of whether or not Mr Oliver should be permitted to unilaterally usurp Oz editorial policy which permits posters to use pseudonyms. Later comments by him suggested he had received a rap across the knuckles. He still does a bit of it occasionally (old habits die hard). I'm still wondering how News Ltd lets him post during work hours in a supposedly private capacity. Fun and games.
