3. You and your quotes were missed

but I'm glad things are getting saner.

As for today's quote, I doubt many people remember the Free Speech Movement* and fewer still remember what the fuss was all about and why diplomas and teaching certificates were withheld and why a few people went to jail. It was also probably the best regarded, since it had a reasonable point. Other protests were hamfisted in comparison. I know because I was there for a few of them, all run by people who had no clue about what most of the country they were living in was like.

*Basically, it was an attempt to get the university brass to allow free discussion of politics on campus and the right to form campus political groups. Their elders and betters regarded this with great alarm, that the leaders were a buncha commies.
