Later this week Agricultural Ministers from around the world will be converging on California's capital city of Sacramento in order to take part in an international conference on crops & agricultural technology. Sounds like rather boring and run of the mill sort of stuff doesn't it?Not to the anti-GM crops folks. They've gotten their collective panties in a bunch and have become convinced that this meeting is a secret attempt by multinational corporations to poison the world's food supply. Further, several leftist organizations (mostly from the San Francisco area) have vowed to come to Sacramento and "shut the city down" (at least that's what they were saying they wanted to do on Pacifica radio; a far left of center broadcaster) with the goal of disrupting the meeting and preventing ministers from being able to reach the convention center. Some have said they expect five days of roving street protests which they hope to be larger then the anti-WTO/World Bank protests in Seattle three years ago. The Governor and the mayor are both saying they’ll bring out extra police to help keep the protests from getting out of hand but several of the local TV stations are saying they think it might not be enough.
Of course these whiny leftists never asked those of us who live in Sacramento whither we want them to come here and shut our city down. Nope, though I suspect most of my neighbors would rather prefer they take their protests and road blocks some where else. We just want to be able to get to work in the morning and maybe go to a restaurant in the evening without a bunch of non-bathing hippie leftists causing problems and taking a proverbial **** upon our city.
I’m thinking of starting my own protest rally where I can hold a big sign saying “Leftist protesters GO HOME!!”. Ah, heck. Who am I kidding? I’m going to be a work. To bad these protesters can’t just go get jobs as well then maybe they wouldn’t have the time to pull this stupid crap.
considering their stellar record on civil rights.
