Has the anti-globo looniness run its course?

...the demonstrations have been nothing short of a dud, and the 20 or so protesters who quietly rallied yesterday were unable to hide their disappointment at the meager turnout.

"I think we overestimated ourselves," Sandra Kwak, 22, said with a laugh in a light drizzle in expansive Forsyth Park. "But even if the few people who are here learn something, it's not a total loss."

Denied access to Sea Island for security reasons, two groups of around 150 people each gathered in the cities of Savannah and Brunswick on Tuesday to kick off three days of planned protests. But by the second day of the summit, only a fraction remained out in force.

"It's a victory just to have this event," protest organizer Kellie Gaznik said Tuesday. "If we didn't have a place for people to do their art and make their statements, they would just walk around and maybe break things, which doesn't accomplish anything."

No, Kellie. No it doesn't.

I think it's more the discovery that the urban areas are the source of the protests. If you hold meetings in seclusive places, then the protests become insignificant.

"they would just walk around and maybe break things, which doesn't accomplish anything."

Gee, I dunno, Kellie - If they do that in the South, it might accomplish getting the snot beat out of them by the owner of what was broken. Works for me.
