I found myself laughing at the fourth paragraph. It said that students who wanted to protest the War in Iraq had issues with the meetings because they conflicted with their favorite Thursday night show.
After reading this article and thinking about Two Days in October, I started to realize how technology truely holds our interests. Protesting was huge and relatively popular compared to today. Now we are distracted with sweet technology. Who would want to go out and weather the weather and the ongoers when you can play Xbox? Even now as I type, I am listening to my iPod.
The police brutality has even changed. The article explained that there was a constant fear of being clubbed and beaten by the police during the 60's civil rights movement. Now the police are calm, curious, onlookers who are more likely to defend the safety of the protestors.
The end of the article mentioned that one of the protestors sought a plastic bag to clean up the mess that they caused. Times have clearly changed, and in relation to history, they have changed rapidly.
