I have been writing that the public mood has turned  negative. This is beginning ot manifest in very open and obvious forums.

Five protestors in tiny Iceland went tp jail  after a demonstration in Reykjavik.  Iceland banks went bust promsiing all sorts of things to various European depositors.

Six people are dead in a Tijuana bar. Thrre people rushed Bar Utopia and began shooting, no suspect or motives. The article says that Bar Uptopis was popular with 'university students' presumably I guess from San Diego.

Britain is seeking to ban so called happy hour at bars noting the alcohol problems amony young people.

Protestors chanting End the Fed staged a loud but orderly protest It was the 965th anniversary of the creatihon of the FED. This protest drew little atention. One sign read, They Print You Pay.

And that protest was held, in downtown San Antonio. While such protests start quietly, you can expect the rprotests across the nation to grow much louder in 2009. As the unemplloyment rises amid massive government spending, protestors will express their displeasure that such measures are simply not working.
