Don't confiscate this

I wore this to the Peace Walk today. It is a reference to this story: Youth Delegates Dragged from Convention Centre. Three delegates to the World Urban Forum in Vancouver were dragged out of the building, because they were carrying T-shirts that said, "Don't be a war toy." The T-shirts were also confiscated.

"You do have to ask yourself what country is this when T-shirts are being confiscated." - Micheal Vonn, B.C. Civil Liberties Association

To be fair, this piece of work was done by United Nations security forces, not the RCMP or local police. Still, it seems like a feeling of collective embarassment is called for. I say, "You do have to ask yourself what combination of stupidity and malice has gotten into the U.N. when T-shirts are being confiscated."

It is disputed whether the neutrality of this article is disputed

From the, "Sigh, can you guys agree on anything?" department:

Wikipedia has a page called, "Apartheid (disambiguation)". At one point, someone put a tag on the page indicating that the neutrality of this page is disputed (you know, one of those boxes that look like this).

To make a very, very long story short, someone who thought more favourably of the article removed the tag, and in the past three days the tag cycled on and off the article six times before an administrator blocked editing altogether on the page. The page currently looks like this. One user said on the Discussion page, "Can there really be a dispute over whether there is a dispute going on here?". I guess there can.
