Today in the Arlyn Silva Show: World Water Forum protesters and the Me that hates them.

You know that gathering thingy about the water that is happening in the god forsaken country of Mexico, well, I'm nobody to tell this but: WHY THE HELL YOU HAD TO DO THAT FORUM NEAR MY GOD FORSAKEN HOUSE?! It was CRAZY I told you, CRAZY.
Anyway, why the hell do people have to protest in such a way that they affect third parties. I'll never understand that.
Something else that I don't understand is the swarm like way people gather at this forums and protest about anything.
"Neoliberalism ate my dog!" "Kill the Empire!" "Down with the Bush!" or it was "Down with Bush!"? and other things.
But, while reading news and blogs with only a referential paragraph about yesterday, it saddens me, because they speak of thousands of people protesting about such stuff.
Now here are the things as I say them:
First: I doubt there were eleven thousand people, eight thousand at most.
Second: Half of them didn't know why they were there. Most of them were brought with the promise of some money and some food. That's how protest work here.
Third: From the half that remains, one half was probably there because they protest just for the sake of protesting, without any sense of true justice or legitimacy.
Fourth: The people who really act against this forum in an active manner are at most two thousand, and I'm being generous here.
Now, on the other hand, the fact that water is vital for life. Then why the hell don’t you people do something productive instead of protesting in such anti neoliberal swarms?
