    When I was in college, what little protesting I saw was all about ending Apartheid.

      Yep. All about South Africa. It was just on the bulletin boards, not actual protests that I can remember.

        I thought your generation would have been protesting The New Deal.

            Hey, I modernized it a bit. I nearly said the repeal of the Corn Laws.

                He is careful not to upset the terrorists, what a thoughtful man.

                President Biden broke his silence on Thursday regarding the anti-Israel demonstrations that are roiling colleges and universities around the nation, condemning the violence that has broken out and saying that "there's the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos."

                      Not students:

                      Approximately 134 of the 282 people taken into custody at Columbia University and CCNY were not affiliated with either school -- more than 47%.

                      Janice Yu is live in Morningside Heights with details on the pro-Palestine protest.
                      At Columbia, 32 people arrested were not affiliated with the school, while about 80 people were. At CCNY, 102 people arrested were not affiliated, and 68 were.

                      The estimates are based on preliminary background analysis by NYPD. The city is forwarding the lists of arrested protesters to the universities to cross-check and determine the current status of those arrested.

                      "There were individuals on the campus that should not have been there," Adams said. "There were people who are professionals. We know the terminology 'outside agitator' was used during the Civil Rights movement, when people attempted to show that the movement was not legitimate, and we understand that."

                      For some, the term "outside agitator" brings back memories of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously wrote about being called an outside agitator in the now-historic letter from the Birmingham jail in April 1963.

                      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
