Besides, their peers can be pretty creative as back when I attended Purdue when all the cool kids were protesting the South African apartheid gov't and decided to hold a hunger strike. The rest of us fired up the bar-b-que grills and had feasts in front of them. The hunger strike didn't last very long.Dave in Indiananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-3462801594518706472012-12-09T09:58:21.160-05:002012-12-09T09:58:21.160-05:00I doubt they realize the final cost, if they conti...I doubt they realize the final cost, if they continue with their Marxist Christmas pageant. <br /><br />If they think surviving on campus is an ugly event, someone should open the gates and allow them to wander into the jungle of the real world.
