§snehal: berkeley = center of student political universe

these berkeley fools are lucky they weren't going to some university where other students would've beat them up. try doing this sit-in in mississippi, kentucky, or even in arizona. some of my friends in not-so-liberal schools have gotten death threats for organizing, and i don't mean by e-mail or phone. the administration is the least of their worries.

at least snehal acknowledges how berkely leads the country on how to deal with "protests", not organizing. yet no one else in the country has this problem with sit-ins after sit-ins. people get tired, nothing comes from it.

berkeley, home of the sit-ins.
