Been read...I just don't understand student apathy. Been reading excerpts from Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing, Campaign 2004". Posted a few gems (and a GWB limerick!) at Meldonna's. But this seemed appropriate to your post here, dada. It's HST reminding us of protesting in the mid-60's to mid-70's:<BR/><BR/>"We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon -- which wise people said was impossible, but so what? It was fun. We were all warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out & vote while it's still legal, and we will wash THESE crooked warmongers out of the White House, too." <BR/><BR/>(with a sob in my heart) ~~ D.K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1161435038984070552006-10-21T06:50:00.000-06:002006-10-21T06:50:00.000-06:00az: I envy your university.

Had the fortune to be there in the spring of '03 when (I have no idea what was going on) streets around the university were barracaded off from traffic, helmeted/hooded officers on giant steeds ruled the roads, an occasional small group of students (I assume) jay-ran 'cross the streets in front of oncoming traffic evading the law while the sweet hint of tear gas tickled the nostrils of all. It was such a festive time and I don't even know what the occasion was.<BR/><BR/>Here, in El Paso, we can't get Amy Goodman to town. Michael Moore was a major coup!
