O.K. so yesterday here in Nevada there was a rally held at the state capital to protest the proposed budget cuts. Primarily the cuts to education. I won't go into all the ins and outs of the cuts, but I will tell you that if they go through, higher education is royally fucked up the ass with no lube and on a beach if you catch my drift. (see attached link) It was amazing, hundreds, maybe 1K students, teachers, and activists from around the entire state were there. It was activity and apathy, and it brought tears to yours truly eyes. What brought anger into my heart was the lack of support from my own community college and from my social networking friends. But I digress, we made an impact yesterday. Our voices were heard. The ball is rolling, momentum has been found and this armchair activist took her business to the street.
Now this is purely a rant, but WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THAT CARE MORE ABOUT FUCKING DOGS, SNOWMEN, SKINNY BULLY VIDEOS AND NATE FUCKING DOGG THAN HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SHARE ONE GODDAMN LINK TO SUPPORT A WORTHY CAUSE.
