    I got shit (or is that id?) for the title but it sure is seeming more appropriate now. 
      6 blocks represents the entire city?

    LOL. 

    If "Seattle has fallen",  six blocks must be a black hole. 

    Stay away from that thing, jeffbr !!!

    Sorry, but no we don’t. If we did we’d have a Conservative minority government, see my comment in the Canadian politics thread where I suggested the CPC were Canada’s Hillary, which was shot down at the time and will be again I’m sure.

    It’s not your 6 blocks so I guess it’s cool then. Talk about privilege.

    It was the people from those blocks who initiated it, so if anyone has the “privilege” to do so it would be them. 

    I was going to say “nice try”, but it wasn’t, actually.

    This guy from the block ain’t to happy about it...neither are all the business that are suing the city. But please...keep talking about how awesome and both meaningless it is all at the same time.

    I would describe it more as awesome but failed.

    Anytime a group of (mostly younger) people make bold attempts to challenge the strictures of society, that is "awesome" (or inspiring, creative, bold or courageous).  But as often happens, due to either lack of organization or a well defined, cohesive purpose, or through infiltration, or simply from dwindling momentum, cutting edge social experiments often fail. 

    Those who disparage such efforts often only consider the latter part of the movement, not the former.

    I thought it was interesting but absolutely dumb to try and do.

    In the end what happens?  They become their own country?  What do they think was going to be the outcome?

    Young people coming together to make change is great.  What this was, was not.

    The idea had potential, and it was interesting for a short time, but yeah, it didn't get off the ground much at all.  But neither did this:

    True but knowing what we know, the Seattle experiment was destined to fail and you get this.
