So now you know where our weird protesters come from! Good news is, they don't affect local politics much, as most of the students are from out of state. We have a very popular Conservative County Sheriff anyway.
The Olympia campus is predominantly white hippy-anarchy-marxists (don't ask me how they combine the three ideologies)
The Tacoma campus is predominantly black militant Malcom X types.
Two totally different schools. never the twain shall meet.

Too infinity!
To: Overtaxed
Prepare to be very afraid: A lot of them go into the medical field. But the majority just hang around this area and, get ready to be very afraid again, go mostly into government work. There's an endless array of leftist causes that are supported with money around here.

If I had just copy/pasted the course titles would you have ever believed me?
To: Overtaxed
You can't call infinity! I called it!

Wow... you and I just contradicted each other... you think they have a big effect around here in politics?
To: HairOfTheDog
Not electoral politics...government work...the legislative staffs (where I used to work) and agencies are well-populated with Evergreen grads.

Prepare to be very afraid: A lot of them go into the medical field. Maybe not so much afraid as justified. I'd almost rather die on the side of the road than be admitted to a hospital.
almost, that is.
Guess I'll find out when I really need to be admitted to a hospital.
To: JenB
Negative infinity!
To: Scott from the Left Coast
OK - It makes sense that they might be on the staffs... At least for the relatively moderate unpierced types that would tolerate working for the oppressive government! ;~D
To: HairOfTheDog
And now to contradict myself (re: electoral politics), we have a bunch of them in elected positions in local government. Two County Commissioners are Greeners and 3 members of the Olympia City Council are Greeners.
To: Overtaxed
oh, so you're going negative on me, are you?
1,200 words today, yay! I have an errand, see you later.

Well, what pisses me off about Evergreen is that it is a state college. Public money. It should be a private school where it can be as freaky as it wants to be without my money. That school is such an embarrassment...I cringe every time it's mentioned. You are right about the tax money, of course. But then, if people actually had to PAY to support it and if tuition for students wasn't subsidized, I bet it wouldn't survive.
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, only in more recent years has Evergreen gone totally anarchist. Before that it was simply communist. And Communists go big into bureaucracy. In the state House and Senate, I'd wager that 60% of their total Democrat caucus staffs are Greeners.

Running away, eh?
To: Scott from the Left Coast
[sigh] heh. This is a nutsy place to live, isn't it? I tell ya... I love it here. It's a carnival!
To: HairOfTheDog; SuziQ
Thanks, to both of you, for the compliments. I am enjoying it very much, there is nothing quite like a new vehicle. Of course, I dread getting that first scratch--I used to be able to take my beat-up old red truck ANYWHERE without worrying about anyone bothering it.
To: HairOfTheDog; Scott from the Left Coast
You think it's bad down there...it could be worse. You could be stuck in Jim McDermott's district up here. Gak! They elected him AGAIN! I live in a city of complete morons!
I keep being tempted to move, especially during election time.
To: Penny1
Didn't McDermott win by an attrocious margin too? Heh. [laughing and pointing at Penny in Seattle!]
I'm not even registered down here, but I will be for next time. I am registered in Gig Harbor still.
