This quote from Christopher Dodd, heard on NPR the day after the blackout, really irked me: "It sort of reminds me of kids who can't get their way hold their breath and start screaming, instead of engaging with the debate and providing information, encouraging a discussion on how this can be improved. It just seems petulant to me."

I wonder what he thinks of strikes, boycotts and public demonstrations, I guess they are all childish too.
