I think protests are great. I have participated in a few. So your condemnation is misplaced.

Apologies for misunderstanding your position. :)

Rushing the field after the upset against Nebraska in '99 doesn't really count as a protest.  :P

I don't know about contemporary Americans or liberals but most decent human beings are horrified at people who vandalise property and assault fellow citizens no matter what they are protesting for or against.

Sure. I don't believe that was characteristic of those protests though.

I thought the protests were poorly timed, badly organized, and basically weak sauce. But they certainly seemed to get the message across so...guess I stand corrected.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

My oldest sister keeps posting stuff like this, while at the same time posting pics complaining about people expecting free stuff or not wanting to put in any effort to improve their situation.

Yeah, funny how blessings usually happen to people who don't need them.
