I wonder if they'll make the connection to taxes. Perhaps someone should help them figure it out.

I call them COWARDS! Nothing more than "wannabe" gang mentality, hiding behind masks and bandanas. If they really wanted to make a stand, use the SGA system and voice opinions at public meetings.

But, "taking over" a college building and paralyzing the authority (because these cowards and their sympathizers would whine if they got their rightfully deserved *ss-kicking) is reprehensible.

I like the union sponsored protest signs too. Nice touch!

Wow, this is why I dislike older people sometimes (to be fair, I dislike younger people sometimes too). "Cowards" and "spoiled babies"...yet not taking into consideration any other variables. Such as that tuition has raised faster than inflation and wages. Such as student debt has risen fastest in the last 10 years than ever before. Such as this crushing debt is one other reason why the middle class is shrinking.

I was one of those people who voiced their opinions in a calm, rational way. Basically I got an "F U, I'm the one in charge, your just a student" response. Drastic measures had to be taken.

What's truly reprehensible is that people are as (if not more) upset at a bunch of students trying to reduce educational costs, than politicians who put us in this mess (be it in Washington or Sacramento).
