Kick it in the box and shove it?
No box!!! For the second week in a row, The Daily Cal publishes a Carol Denney rant that already appeared in The Daily Planet. (People respond to how wrong she is here, if you scroll down to "Southside view" and "Polarization." Carol Denney proposes putting boxes "on the median strip around the park," which I didn't know existed.)
The Poet-Politician says:
Berkeley City Councilmember Kriss Worthington, whose district includes People's Park, took issue with the university's unilateral actions in the park.
"The university's doing very controversial things without talking to us," Worthington said. "It's about the imperial attitude of the administration towards people."
Wait a minute. It's the city's homeless who have imperially occupied People's Park. Where's Snehal's objection to that? (Which reminds me, I'm still waiting for some kind of explanation on how invading/occupying Iraq is 'illegal.') The way I see it, the university, unable to directly fight the occupiers, has to target such things as the boxes in order to drive them out. It's like the French Resistance.
