Wishful thinking. People are just bigger dickheads now. Culture is changing
|
|
and it is becoming acceptable to get in peoples face and shout them down
|
|
when you disagree with them. The people that do this are NOT
|
|
disenfranchised. They
|
|
get their rocks off on being disagreeable assholes. The act of protesting is
|
|
more important than the actual issue being protested for most of these
|
|
people.

And where does this end? Shouting down speakers is an obviously stupid
|
|
tactic if they are -really- interested in advocating change. Are they such
|
|
clueless social morons that they don't see this or are they just interested
|
|
in stroking their pathetic egos?
|
|
|
|
OBTW, 'clueless social moron syndrom' does not have political boundaries.
