When asked if he had anticipated the world-wide reaction to the Berkeley anti-Marine resolution and the demonstration today, the Berkeley mayor responded.
"I didn’t have a clue. Perhaps it had to do with the language being maybe too strong.
I think it has a lot to do with a latent dislike of Berkeley and a latent dislike of people who protest the war.”
--rough quote from the raadio
Berkeley-a-phobe: One who fears Berkeley CA, it’s people, or its culture or who dislikes ruining their shoes slopping through the utter stupid flowing in the streets of Berkeley
protestor-o-phobe: One who fears or dislikes Giant Puppet Heads
