Reply #28: we have some local activism at my small college, but

[LizMoonstar]

i know a lot of people who have given up on anything larger-scale because they think that with reds in charge, it won't make any difference and may get them locked up.

then again, there's my Darwin Club buddies, and my friend working in Obama's office who is the most hard-core Deaniac I know. (we like to joke that the reason she doesn't have nor seem to want gentleman callers, despite preferring men, is because she's 'saving herself for Howard'.)

i think that in the modern era, things are structured in such a way that college students just can't pull off the protests of the '60s. and not just because we're all spoiledly apathetic and immature.

so there, neener neener neener :)
