People's tempers are getting frayed and they are taking to the streets in protest over the economy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7903518.stm

If they start pulling up cobblestones and pelting politicians it might get interesting, that's what happened in Latvia. Makes you wonder how long before we see this in North America.

I've seen posts on other websites about a March on Washington. Curious to see if anything comes out of it or if it is just idle talk.

If there's no possible direct result or objective to the protest, then it's really nothing more than a big organized tantrum. But I guess it lets off a little steam, and is probably harmless for now. Once we start losing power in major first-world cities, then it'll start getting interesting.
