Free Market Advocates Fight Back at WTO. After days of anti-free trade protests at the WTO conference, including a protest featuring nude activists and another involving a suicide, free market advocates responded in kind on Thursday.
They staged several counter demonstrations and street-theater stunts, drawing the ire of anti-globalization protestors and environmentalists.
At a mock awards ceremony sponsored by a coalition of free market groups, actors playing the grim reaper handed out “awards” to environmental groups and other organizations that they accuse of promoting “poverty, misery, disease and premature death to billions of people in developing countries.” [Cybercast News Service]
