Well, all this is interesting to me, anyway, and that's what matters here. The Internet is a terrible thing for someone like me, who finds almost everything interesting.
I remember the sixties well, and the same criticisms of the protesters they are making now were made then. Sure, some protesters are just silly kids out for a lark, and other are go to far breaking the law. But we have to compare the number of nuts on the right versus the number of nuts on the left. Hell, it might even be even. For every misbehaving protester on the left, there are probably just as many anti-governmental nuts on the right breaking the law too.
Both sides need to distance themselves from their own extremists.
