I think it will be a real test to see how much the WWW influences--for better or worse--any such matters in the future.

For example, right after the general elections, students noticed a piece of rope hanging from a tree on the Baylor University campus in Waco, TX. Assuming it was placed there as a symbol of racism in reference to BHOs election win, the 'word' went out amongst the blogophiles and protests began with speeches and a march on the campus decrying such behavior. The university investigated the matter and concluded that the rope found hanging from a campus tree had been there for quite a while, and was apparently an abandoned swing and not a noose.

Kinda reminds me of the guy in "Animal House" standing in the midst of chaos at the end of the movie and yelling for everyone to remain calm as they were running screaming hither and yon.
