I haven't been hit by any meteors, but by something I'd call flu if it involved more nausea. I'm thinking anthrax, but that's not the opinion of any licensed practitioners of medicine.
As for the delinquents making the case for nothing so much as the repeal of the 26th amendment, I was thinking of them when I heard about the fight against terrorism in Northern Iraq. My first thought is that the world is now a safer place for them, too, than it was a week ago, whether they recognize it or not.
My next thought, though, is that the chaos demonstrated in the demonstrations, to the lament of the sober anti-war crowd, is not that different in nature from the chaos we're fighting world-wide. It's superficially paradoxical that we arrest assaulters, jail kidnappers, execute murderers, and bomb enemies of world order, and the kids who think it more peaceful for them to obstruct traffic than for the police to arrest them for it may not be making any new mistakes.
