Well, are you ready for the whining and crying?

The gnashing of teeth?

The pleas of being hard done by and life not being fair?

You think I'm talking about the World Cup Soccer tournament, where a simple bump of one player into another, has both grabbing their shins, knees, thighs and other appendages in mortal pain.

Once they see they're not getting the call, they jump up, divinely cured wondering how the referee could be so blind, so callous, so cruel.

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

The whining and crying and gnashing of teeth and unheard pleas will be the unpeaceful protesters who live for G8 to G20 meetings, be they in Canada or elsewhere.

They will be out in force, doing illegal things, making idiots of themselves and when police and other security forces step in, it will be accusations of police brutality.

I have no compassion for those who feel their message is the most important one and the only way to get it across is anarchy.

It really has turned into a game hasn't it.

The meetings are called and one side prepares to protect those attending.

The other side also prepares, in great detail to make it as difficult as possible to have the meetings in the first place.

I don't know if they meetings do any good.

I do know that a lot of the cost is for security and its from these bums that think they have the answer to the world's problems.

That answer is violence and force.

So go ahead and get your head bashed in.

Go ahead and get arrested.

Don't look for sympathy from this corner -- there is none.

From Where I Sit, I'm John Divinski.
