Special props go out to Berg who in giving his comments about there being no debate, compared the whole thing to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s march from Selma to Birmingham. He then added:

"People would say you cannot compare the two because the protesters in Birmingham were sprayed with tear gas and beaten viciously by George Wallace's police on horses. But almost more stifling than the tear gas is the cloud of complacency that rises over San Francisco and the nation with the deafening silence of meaningful debate."

Almost more stifling.
