The Streets.................................

"Each angry demonstration is angry in its own way.
     "Yet just as in 1848, 1968, and 1989, when people also found a collective voice, the demonstrators have much in common.  Over the past few weeks, in one country after another, protesters have risen up with bewildering speed. They have been more active in democracies than dictatorships. They tend to be ordinary, middle-class people, not lobbies with lists of demands. Their mix of revelry and rage condemns the corruption, inefficiency and arrogance of the folk in charge."
-The Economist, Leaders:  The march of protest
