Brad will be hired on to help provide security for the G8 summit again this year. It'll be Heiligendamm, Germany, this time. I love G8 season. I hate the summit itself, you know, the sekrit cabal including the leaders of the world's seven richest nations, plus Russia, plus the head of the European community, accountable to no one, making plans to suck the world dry. Brad will have to deal with them. I, as usual, will be among the protesters kicking it old school and reminding the cabal why they should pay people like Brad so much to protect their precious asses. And if Farf stays with us through June I'll have him with me, and he is the best violent protest partner you could ever have. He's jazzed at the thought, so he may well stay.

I've already started attending protester planning meetings. You know what's great about the planning meetings? Protest porn. Hey, you need to rouse the troops. Slides and videos of activists punching in store windows with poles and rocks, setting cars on fire, throwing things at police.... Oh yes.

I get so high at the actual protests themselves with all the emotions and adrenaline flying. One year this one activist chick was sewing up a gash in my arm without an anesthetic and I was sitting there all "Noooo, I'm fiiiiiine," and picking up my next rock. I donate to some activist groups year-round, though not to any that do demonstrations with puppets because, c'mon, puppets. Grow up.

Another round of me enjoying myself while Schwarz gets paid for it. I'm going to have to go sit down now so my head won't explode from the sheer force of awesome.

Activism is too much like working, for me.

If it's mayhem, it doesn't feel like work.

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

That's like work, depending on things.

It's fun mayhem. ::smiles::

"Aaah, protest actions. That reminds my of my hippie days."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Hippies are a bit too peaceful for my tastes.

"Well, they would be. Though those protest actions for 'Nam were really something." She probably ported all the way to America for that.

I was a bit too young for those. I'm definitely a rock-chucker, not somebody who'd put flowers into gun barrels. Well, I might do the flower thing if I wanted to mess with the cops' heads, but it would be an ironic gesture, not a sincere one.

"Well, you'd still fit right in, if not for the whole violence thing going on." She beams and floofs his hair.
