Santa Cruz is the sump of the sixties. Even Berkeley has moved on. Their decades-long Peoples' Park be-in is finished. The tree sitters protesting the cutting of oaks for the new expanded athletic building are non-stoonts, and they were not able to draw even minimal support from those who are enrolled. And theirs is a much nobler cause than simply the right to be annoying. There is a UC- Berkeley poll reporting some 80% opposed to the sitters. That leaves Santa Cruz, where for generations also street characters have attempted to leech onto gatherings by others for other purposes to create disorder due to their Attention Deficit. It's a community tradition, this Protest Playschool. Anybody can draw notice with no talent and less humility. Why not take your act over by the river and see can you draw your own crowd with whatever beating your tom-tom is supposed to accomplish? Over on the benchlands is your full First Amendment Promise Land. I convey it to you. Go in peace. Gadabout Ghandi
