ANARCHY 2012

This coming year could see more government bashing since the sixties in the US.

With peaceful demonstrations in every large city in America, journalists are starting to take notice.  Maybe the government as well.

The strategy of the new generation (but not so new) of demonstrators is that of relative stealth.  They aren't too ready to blast out open concerns, and that's a smart way to go. 

If the demonstrators give away their position too early, they open themselves up for early argumentation that could undermine their purpose.  By remaining a bit on the secret side, they can allow the curious observer to form his own ideas about the purposes of the demonstrations.  That's the big difference between the sixties and now. 

Basically, the demonstrators are simply making a statement against the way government is handling the country.  There isn't one particular problem; there are many.  To state one or two concerns would jeapardize the movement.

Bottom line:  demonstrations like these don't happen over a single issue, but rather the buildup up many.
