"The political elite from the international corporate party, whether or not they are incumbents; must be removed from power by mass protest. Voting for any of them has become completely irrelevant because we are long past the point of no return! There will be no "no trespassing signs" as Clark Park becomes inhospitable to the former community portrayed as "prostitutes, gang, members, and drug dealers." Permit rules and various police forces will erect invisible but extreme barriers for the former community! This barrier will be disproportionately directed at the poor, ethnic minorities, immigrants and pro-democracy activists. Ready for a serious discussion with mature adults, Glenn" Um, the straw man requires a misrepresentation of an opponents position - so maybe you are right, I am misrepresenting your position, and if so, I apologize as maybe I just don't understand it. So, to be clear - You're position is that the political elite must be removed by mass protest? And you think Americans will do this? And that if they do not, Clark Park will be the first step towards shutting out the poor, minorities, and pro-democracy activists?

Glenn- It's funny (or sad) that the more I hear from you, the more convinced I become of the most extreme things said of you. I have absolutely no motivation to lie or distort the truth or defend FOCP or UCD. I have no history of interaction with most of the people involved. In fact, while I recognize the benefits of the UCD, FOCP, and the general gentrification of my neighborhood (yes, I'm very proud to have lived here my entire life), it's my criticisms and disagreements of some of trends in the neighborhood that have pushed me to become more involved. On many things, we clearly agree (the dangers of rising corporatism, the use of chemicals on public park land), but your intentional warping and muddying of facts so closely resembles exactly what you accuse the FOCP (and others of), that it becomes preposterous.
