Happy B-Day, Totally Silent Protest!

...a 21st-century revival, conceived in a thread one year ago by yours truly. And then, within a few hours after the first silent protest scared the b-jeebus out of Katehi at UC Davis, the thread disappeared into the ether (really, du? Really? Way to expand that base...) But family and friends saw it, as did a few other DUers. So, the takeaway is twofold: 1) Even a nobody in the middle of flyover country can come up with an idea now and again that can effect change on this god-forsaken rock, and this nobody did just that; 2) Elitism. It's What's For Lunch (and I'll slap a big *TM* on that, for good measure.)

see y'all in the funny papers
