Where are those Anarchists now?

I would have expected that just as the anarchists show up to confront the G-8 meetings, they would make beeline to Haiti to experience some real anarchy.

Catholic parishes are collecting for Haiti. I gave some money there. A few years back I brought attention to a fraud committed by employees or clients of Food For the Poor. They are worthy of your contributions. I contributed to them as well.

Why isn't self-defense a right in international waters?

I need to research this. On cable news, they have been saying very casually -- like you'd be a fool not to know why -- ships cannot arm themselves beyond bats and firehoses.

Village mob thwarts Google Street View car: Times of London (UK)

Angry villagers formed a human chain to thwart the progress of a Google Street View car that was in the process of taking photographs of their homes.

The end does not justify the means. When a mob wins, it only encourages them to do it again.

I am not sure that the end in this case is a good thing: How can you make one rule for any photographer and another rule Google's photographer?
