	Dear Ziggy,

	    You say that "those students at Berkeley" acted with blind
	stupidity, rather than in blind rage.  You say that they were
	acting in ignorance.  Not quite knowing what this "blindness" is that
	seems somewhat more FACTUALLY informed than either you or Ms K., I
	am wondering about the definition and context of this "ignorance."
	What is it that they are ignorant of?  Please be specific.

	    Also, while I was not in the audience, the rage that the
	protesters felt was strong enough to survive translation to a
	video screen - it was quite in evidence.  No snap judgements,
	if you please.

	    Again, the question is: what we're the demonstrators ignorant of?
	And don't say "basic civil liberties" - this is what we are trying to
	define here.  (Or rather, one of these liberties: freedom of
	expression.)  You imply that you know the answer.  What is it?

	    Please reply to the net.
