Gary's Elephant

Well, this Doonesbury certainly made my jaw drop. The anti-war movement not building on campuses? Okay, given his take on blogs maybe it shouldn't surprise me that Trudeau is a bit out of touch with the zeitgeist, as it were, but any 2-second Google search on the words "anti-war" and "campus" does wonders to refute the lie of pervasive student apathy. Heck, according to most accounts the student anti-war movement of today is much more organized and vociferous than in Trudeau's halcyon '60s. But I suppose any propaganda (particularly from a supposed anti-war sympathizer) repeated often or syndicated widely enough has a chance of becoming the received wisdom. Good luck to Trudeau in cleaning the elephant dung out of his living room.
