I was in Ottawa for the 'Take the Capital' actions.  The only 'yahoo' I saw 
there (at least within our own ranks - the forces of law and order were a 
whole other stripe of cat) was the individual who was spouting off about 
'nonviolence' while at the same time fingering people to the cops.

Let's refrain from name-calling and value judgments about our own, at least 
while in public spaces. It isn't helpful.
