Remember the 60's?

Remember the riots of the 60's? 1967, 1968, 1969. Remember those? Watts. Chicago. The 1968 Democratic National Convention riots in Chicago. All those? I would nearly bet that this Summer is going to be full of similar demonstrations and riots nearly nationwide, if not totally. Between the election year and the "Occupy" groups and the general breakdown of different society issues, especially of the very rich vs. the very poor, I expect there will be clashes, almost certainly. Cities are already changing their laws so they can act more forcefully against demonstrations. That, and watch Europe, too. With Greece's likely default on their debt and both the extreme debts across Europe, along with deep cuts in so many public programs, look for demonstrations and riots to break out all across Europe, too. I think it is likely to be the 2nd "long, hot Summer." We shall see. I'd be happy--very happy--to be mistaken.
