My experience at Berkeley after September 11th and during the Iraq war were.... er.... interesting. Were we protesting because we thought we could change something? Or rather because we went to Berkeley and we wanted our hippie turned yuppie parents to be proud of us?

There's a background of simmering leftover from the 50's and a burst of the middle class coming of age, walls are being broken down culturally and communication is expanding and filling people's heads with so much more information than they'd been accustomed to a generation before... Directly, protests in the 60's were against a war that had a DRAFT which we don't have and won't have because, well, burning cop cars... Bonus attractions at the tea-party include stoned chicks hearing all this 'free-love' jive, the shit the chicks smoked to get stoned, and well endowed parents smoking cigars having nervous breakdowns at home... Try and shock your parents today...
