Where Have All the Protests Gone?

Everyone considers Berkeley a center of reactionist fervor; well, let me tell you, when a protest like this is not only tiny but mostly ignored, it's a sign that the stereotype no longer fits the reality.

These were taken a few weeks ago, as a group of about 15 people protested in front of Cafe Strada on Bancroft and Telegraph. Most people walked by, iPod headphones in, sunglasses on, saying "no thanks" like they thought the protestors were flyering for business fraternities on Sproul or asking them for money. I stopped to take some photographs - maybe posting will help something.
