Indeed, worth it. Hope you didn't get hurt.

In 2001 this conference will probably happen in Brussels: i hope it wil be
as good a party as it is in Seattle.

Now belgian news has some more important things to talk about : this
saturday the future king to be will marry some Lady Di like
princess-to-become. The police in Brussels is prepared for everything:
sharpshooters are dispersed on the roofs along the traject the royal couple
will follow. But I will be out of town that day: hundred thousands of crazy
royalists will invade Brussels to cheer the couple, and any protester will
be probably lynched on the spot.

Although i must admit in the news here too when it is about the WTO
conference they talk more about the riots than about the conference itself.
On the other hand i'm not so sure this is a victory then because the
objections the different groups have against the WTO are not often
adressed. Only "spectacular" (deliberate use of the word) images make the
headlines. Ain't you all glad you are part of the spectacle.

PS. Don't get me wrong: i'm sad i can't join the big riot / feast
