(I think the idea is bollocks - what is a protest judged on, turnout, success the cause? If cause thn any anti-capitalist protest is more imprtant than the smaller issues, but to say seattle was more important than the black civil rights movement

But surely some issues are of higher importance than others?
Whether the list can serve to do anything more than be a point of discussion still remains to be seen.
If it can act as a means of focusing attention on unresolved issues and rate them in importance compared to historical events then isn't that at least slightly pertinent?

I didn't think it was about listing them in order of importance.
I agree it's meaningless exercise. How can they possibly be put in order of importance?
But seeing as the bbc are looking for a list of ten, it does give scope to add some less obvious events that perhaps havent even seen their own potential yet(or something).
Which is why I thought of Seattle, as some pinpoint in history where opposition to globalisation/social-enviro degratation actually galvanised.
