Another reason to be disgusted by the Berkeley City Council

Sure, it's okay to shout down everyone' s opinions but your own.

Sure, it's okay to disturb an entire clutch of businesses in downtown Berkeley.

Sure, it's okay to make loud, megaphone-aided, pink-clad asses of yourselves.

Code Pink now has a sound permit and a designated parking space for protest outside the U.S. Marine Corps recruiting station. What will these narrow-minded old broads do when they realize the very people who fight and die to give them their right to scream can't do their job? Not to mention when they piss off Peoples Cafe enough that they stop letting them use their bathroom when they don't even buy anything for the privilege.

Honestly, I'd say about 50 percent of me (and perhaps more) truly loathes Berkeley. You want to talk about a hypocritical, narrow-minded, holier-than-thou populace? You'll find it right here between Ashby and Gilman avenues off of I-80.
