Jeff Harrell sums up my thoughts on the matter better than I could have.
“What happened last night wasn’t a revolution, […] what happened last night is that a bunch of kids on the playground banded together to beat up another kid, a kid they saw as richer or more powerful or more snotty than them. “The teachers can’t expel us all,” they said, so they put the other kid in the center of a big circle and took turns punching him, then turned out his pockets and took his lunch money.”
Jeff’s blog is definitely one of my favorites to read, and this post is a good example of why.
