But seriously folks....

(Q)Do you know the difference between a Berkeley Hippie and a Eugene Hippie?
(A)A Eugene Hippie would gladly sacrifice trees for Oregon Football.


Most of you have been reading up on this fiasco going on with the construction of the new sports facilities for the Cal Bears football program. Apparently some environmentalists are sleeping in trees and got a court to pass an injunction on the construction. The link above will give you more info if you haven't been filled in.

On a similar note I think we need to examine the Hippie migration that has occur ed. While Berkeley definitely used to be THE hot spot for those Birkenstock wearing peace mongers, you talk to the Hippies currently residing in Eugene and it ends up they WERE those same hippies. Is Berkley becoming like Boulder CO? The Yuppie hippie destination. Forcing those against the capitalist regime to migrate north? I don't know. But the movement in Berkley need the support now more than ever.

But personally I'm rooting for the sport complex.
