---- Genghis or Lenin or Darwin are contingencies, and of course not predictable (nor for that manner very describable, even after the fact). But what could Darwin have done had he been born in 910 in Saxony? The question is absurd. And you don't seriously maintain, do you, that Genghis ...

Of course I don't think activists should be arrested for yelling at the police, and of course it's legal to do that. But it's annoying and juvenile, and while there may be times when it makes sense -- for instance, if cops are engaging in misconduct, sometimes yelling at ...
