Didn't really work in those days, either. '68 was supposed to be a party to blow people's minds. The "party" crowd kinda did the productive thing and went in for a positive approach...supporting McCarthy...leaving the militants to butt heads with Daley...a guy you did not want to butt heads with on his home turf. Anymore, all you need is a couple of quarts of vegetable oil poured in a dumpster to make an impressive smoke cloud, and the idjit media will have their photo-op. A couple of hotheads to goad the cops into firing tear gas or bean-bags, and everybody starts chanting "The whole World is Watching." All of the planning that went into the '68 demonstration went out the window when King and Kennedy were shot. Today's chant might just as well be "The whole World is Watching...American Idol...on FOX." I don't think the current electorate has the desire for a fight.
