G20 Summit in Pittsburgh

I was in Pittsburgh, PA the weekend before the infamous G20 Summit. Curiously though, I had not heard about this Summit until visiting Pittsburgh and being made aware of it through a security guard at the Andy Warhol museum wanting to look inside my purse. I saw the city prepare for the Summit and the great lenghts it went through, to ensure the safety of the diplomats attending this all important Summit. After the Summit I started hearing about the vast amount of people that demonstrated in the streets peacefully. Let us consider this. We common citizens, of all color, race, and nationality, were able to march in a peacefull manner in one city, in close proximity. Why can not we solve our other issues this way. Perhaps if we cut the government out of the picture and allow us, the taxpaying citizens to decide on most matter that are important, maybe, just maybe we might solve some issues that those ever important diplomats could not. Food for thought. I enclosed a link to a youtube video so you may watch the melding of cultures who got along. Imagine that.
