That “rent a picket” story reminds me of the first time I visited a college campus. I was a sophomore in high school, and we were taking my older cousin to Gainesville for freshman move in day.
My first three impressions as we drove into Gainesville toward the campus…
- Guy with a long pony tail…hippies…CHECK!
- Krishna member, in the full Krishna outfit…What The…?..CHECK!!
- One lone protester outside the administration building, with 30+ picket signs leaning against the wall…80’s style activism…CHECK!!!
