Re: Quebec wall down!

In response to Loomis' comment, I fully agree. I find Jones' comment to be
rather pretentious and thoroughly privileged. Further, I don't see how these
protests can be divorced from "scholarly" world systems discourse and
analysis.  It seems to me that they make up an integral (and equally
compelling--for those concerned with analysis) part of the larger and
ongoing discourse within the world system.
