Text

My frustration grew as the Summit wore on. Hour after tedious hour, I stood in the sun listening to bandana-clad adolescents whining, loudly, about how they deserved to be on the other side of the 2.5 mile security fence that ringed the town center where the delegates were meeting. They wanted—no, deserved—seats at the negotiating table. One teenage crusader told me that Latin Americans would be better off living as hunter-gatherers, because" hunter-gatherers eat well every day". A unionized garment worker, whose job likely depends on making sure no one is allowed to buy shirts made in Honduras, straight-facedly hoisted a sign reading" Free trade equals corporate welfare." If that's true, then it's curious that so many industries, like textile manufacturers and steel plants, cling desperately to tariffs and subsidies.

The main idea of the paragraph

The author became more frustrated as he listened to the confusing and contradictory claims of the protestors outside the town center.
