The NZH reports: "Police were out in force in the evening to ensure
activists did not breach a cordon in front of the palace, where Bush
and his
wife were to spend their second of three nights. Airline worker Dawn
Totten,
50, said she had flown from her home in the United States to join the
scattered protests. "I came all the way from San Francisco because
demonstrations go unrecognised and unreported there," she said. Her
message
for Bush? "I'd like to tell him to stay here."

bush's attitude re. protests seems to be attempt to disempower
them, he said same thing the other day that he said in australia a few
weeks back: 'i love protests, people are free to protest in this
society, iraqi's couldn't protest a year ago, north koreans can't
protest, blah, blah, blah....'

reminds of oh-so-unfashionable marcuse and critique of abstract 'pure
tolerance' as 'repressive' in that it concretely protects established
machinery...   michael hoover
