Something along the same lines that I find interesting is how muted it is on most college campuses. I gave a talk (along with Charles Pena) at Bowdoin College this spring and expected to take a lot of crap. There were very thoughtful, concerned questions, but not of the sort of Cindy Sheehanism I was expecting.
