I also spoke in favour of Women’s Lib (often the only man) and still try to be active for the environment and against the war in Iraq. I consider myself a radical. My two sons (my daughter is a throw-back to hippydom) are both ultra-conservative and look at me as though I am a very strange creature. I have a feeling the political ubermind has swung too far against protest, and too far towards the acceptance of political “reality”. I am worried, not at this swing, but at the advantage those politicians are taking. As I found in a tagline on Usenet, “Just remember this the next time some politician says that terrorists are threatening our freedoms: not a single freedom has been taken away from us by terrorists – they have been taken away by our elected officials.”

I wonder how Pickering (of the nude cartoon calendar) would have got on today?
