I have only just realised the details of the current madness in New York, perhaps being in Australia we were spending more time looking at the tradgedy unfolding in Russia to have our media comment on politics gone mad.
In case you have missed what happened check out

http://www.satanslaundromat.com for a personal account of being arrested
The gist of it was that thousands of protestors were walking the streets (together with watchers, workers commuting home and tourists) they were rounded up by police, left handcuffed in buses for hours and in cells for upto 40 hours. Apparently at the direct orders of mayor Michael Bloomberg - disturbing thoughts.
I found this site - 'Axis of Eve' while reading about the protests, they sell a compelling range of underwear!
