And I once suggested to Lawrence Hall that it was a truly wonderful
opportunity for rabble-rousing politics---definitely an argument
against the SSC that hasn't yet been sufficiently exploited by the

I can just visualize the scene in Waxahachie: thousands of protestors
chaining themselves to the gates and throwing themselves in front of
bulldozers, holding up signs that say "Save the universe"!
