Don?t Even Consider Talking About the Olympics

The Times also reports that 1,000 local officers will join 3,000 officers brought in from other cities to police the protests. Gas masks have been purchased for these officers and security cameras have been installed throughout downtown Tampa. $13.6 million has been laid out so far for bicycles, 13 electric all-terrain vehicles, and an armored truck. Tampa has also been completely reconfigured so that, during the convention, streets are no longer streets and sidewalks are no longer sidewalks. The urgency lies in ferrying thousands of convention-goers along safe vectors from one corporate space to another, from their hotels to the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Indeed, the fear seems to be principally that nothing go amiss when Tampa hosts the "world's largest cocktail party" at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. When real sidewalks and streets are being closed so that real people can?t speak for fear of interrupting the good times at Tropicana Field, you have to wonder a little. The Framers believed in a free marketplace of ideas, not in the free market of brand names.
