Help! Me and my friends just want to smash things up.

07-09-2001 02:31

A lucid look at modern living through politically conscious eyes that roam for aesthetically conscious art.

Have You Heard? 10 More G8 Activists are Freed!

06-09-2001 15:56

The last count of g8 prisoners totalled 17. If these 11 are free [ except from the one on house arrest] and 4 more went to court to seek their freedom on Monday, that totals 15. I believe there were also 2 Neo Nazis picked up [ they had photos of Neo Nazi rallies on their persons] so this should mean that all the Genoa anti-corporate globalisation prisoners are virtually free. How fantastic! I just hope these figures are correct.
