Who wouldn't love shouting in a legal demo "against" the G8?
Also hopefully ? if enough people is there on the street, by June with
good weather conditions, and drums and music... does not need to be
sullen at all!
And it won't be normal,
ok let' s meet and talk then, including the legal demo in the
"suggested" agenda shall we?
