Quote: I think the most effective would be a quiet respectful protest of going and studying there, and refusing to leave until you are arrested. Not much different than the lunch counter or bus protests in the south during the 50's and 60's.
No, not so different at all. All except the part of being blasted with fire hoses, beaten, savaged by dogs, being beaten with rubber hoses and soddomized down at the jail, being lynched by men in white hoods and hung from a tree or flogged with a cat o nine tails. Nope. Not much difference at all.
Protest is a good deal safer now for the most part. This is both bad and good. Good, that it is safer for the protesters (Most of the time) and bad because there is no mind blowing violence to draw attention to the problem, so it goes largely ignored. Times have changed.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
