The news today is dominated with the G20 summit in Toronto. As seems usual these days there are massive protests and it's clear a hard and significant core of these protesters just want to make trouble.

I was told the security arrangements for this summit will cost over $1 billion.

I think it's time that they held these summits in very remote locations and probably ones that are only accessible by Helicopter. The far north of Canada or Alaska seem to be good places to have these or indeed the very north of Scotland and even on one of the very remote islands.

    I don't understand the mentality of these "protesters" as they are called. These 20 leaders get together to nut out problems and issues that affect everyone. What do they want, the world in a state of anarchy? I say, round up the violent troublemakers and lock em up, then let the genuine protesters protest if they feel strongly enough about it, but in a peaceful manner, people have the right to protest in a democracy.

    Maybe even downunder at Antarctic for a G20 summit. $1 billion could then be used for so many other useful things in the world.

    That's a good idea as the money saved could go to the remote community where it is held for good works in the area.
