correction, everyone has to do with g8. we all do. and especially people who
maintain networks, websites, etc, of them. the important thing in this kind
of battles here is to show and display discontempt. there's not much left
there to do.

so you think maybe protesters should fight police over a chess tournament?
or print articles in le monde diplomatique so that the next time the
policemen read their copies they get so upset that they ruin their
breakfast? 

police men and soldiers only understand an attack when it is manifested
physically. top people in corporations and governments know intellectuals
against the systems aren't a threat unless able to cause a crash.
intellectuals who are able to cause a crash have an army behind them, and
they use it in ways which can prove provoking.

any proposals then? it is obvious for me that this is a war already won, but
a war where some privileges can still be negotiated? you know what has
happened to sub-comandante marcos wise propposal over 7 years? they end up
everytime at the recycle bin. why? the answer its very obvious. its all
about the power of persuation on negotiation.

hope everything will be ok. always.

nos vemos en el futuro.
