So are you willing to amend your post to specify that the Berkeley
city council is an embarassment?
UC Berkeley is one of the top scientific institutions in the world, and one of the best educational institutions too. LBL is a pre-eminent research lab and has done its share of military weapons research. The city of Berkeley is one of the nicest, most livable towns in the US - well, excluding the parts that border on Oakland.
Yet everytime some whacko in Berkeley does something controversial, a bunch of people here - who mostly have never been to the city nor know anything about it - rise up panting and lapping. Like Pavlov's dogs - bell rings, PPOT rants. It's just brainless.
