Most of us have no idea how quickly civilization can break down. What would it take?, perhaps 3 weeks without electricity?, shortages of food at the supermarket?, no money to buy food? Before the end of the year I expect that as the economy continues to crater, we will see protests of this size here in America as well as other countries worldwide.-Lou
Hundreds of thousands protest in France
PARIS: A nationwide protest against Nicolas Sarkozy's economic policies drew more than one million demonstrators into the streets of France on Thursday, in the biggest popular challenge to the president since he took office in 2007.
Organizers hailed the demonstrations - meant to highlight unemployment and declining spending power in a time of crisis - as a great success.

François Chérèque, secretary general of the CFDT union, called the protest "the biggest nationwide demonstrations in 20 years." He said in Paris that private sector workers had turned out in surprisingly large numbers, showing that workers from across the spectrum were "expressing their fears about the future."
