There were many legitimate protests and alternate viewpoints presented at the G20 conference, but I doubt that anyone remembers them.

Instead of an intelligent debate on international issues what we got was a media circus of riot-geared cops, lunatic anarchists and sensation-filled media sound/picture bites. "The G20 summit" was simply an opening act to the big destructive sideshow. 

There was "My Summit 2010" which was a collection of workshops by young people around the globe on what they would do to make the Earth a better place. Does anyone remember that event? Like everything else it took fourth or fifth place to the media sideshow above.

All the destruction could have been avoided if the G20 conference was held on an aircraft carrier. It would have been cheaper too.

Cops in riot gear were looking for a riot and surprise surprise, they found one. This was a self-fulling prophecy at its best. Why not just have a wall and let the protestors write on it? Who would the anachists fight then?

Toronto mayor, David Miller, called the anarchists criminals. Perhaps, he should have threatened them with "Miller's Cave" to keep them good.

I'll give "The G20 in Toronto," one star. I see better crap on TV most of the time.
