I watched the demos yesterday on TV. All power to the students - the government desires to dumb down future generations and/or trap them into debt bondage. Either way it's a disgrace.
But it also made me ponder about the reason police "kettle" protestors - keeping them restricted in a small area surrounded by police for hours and hours.
Under the police kettling procedures anyone who gets trapped in the kettling area, even if they are completely unconnected with the demonstration, is kept inside the designated area for the duration. For example, a passer-by on the way to hospital could be kettled for hours on end for no good reason whatsoever.
This surely must be completely illegal?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
