Fools. Is everyone going to college to become an activist?

“It’s really important that this is happening nationwide,” said Michelle Kizner, a Focus the Nation organizer at UCSD, where she’s majoring in ecology, behavior and evolution. “That makes it more powerful – just the solidarity of the movement and really seeing that people are committed everywhere.”

committed?

some of these folks may belong in another institution methinks where folks also are ‘committed’. jmo

These are the same type of students that drop a car off of a three story building and say....”You mean it go dented?”. Look kids, leave the ice cubes in the freezer and they won’t melt. Don’t heat the school and see how you like it. As for the bear in the electric chair.....be sure and plug it in. If this is all they have to do in school, we best be closing down the school and save the money.

Morons brainwashed by Gore. Pathetic.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Yeah...With the stinking freezing temps here and the snowstorm in the Middle East, we certainly need to concern ourselves with Global Warming. /sarc

At the University of Rhode Island, students placed 300-pound blocks of ice around their campus and let them melt to symbolize how global warming is affecting polar ice caps. At Missouri State University, students will pile 20 tons of coal on campus to show how much of this air-polluting fossil fuel is needed to power their school for an hour.

Isn't that sweet.

Wonder how many fossil fuels were burned by the forklifts/dumptrucks/whatever to transport this stuff? Or, is it only the thought that counts?

It is one of the great ironies that youngsters at higher levels of learning, presumably so they can think clearly and intelligently for themselves going forward in life, are being bombarded with all this GW propaganda precisely so they will only think one way on this issue.

IMO, conservatives need to join the battle in education. The liberals have a stanglehold on these institutions from K through any level of college degree you care to name, making it nearly impossible for the conservative message to reach and influence enough of the future generations. Indeed, I think the future of conservatism in this country is bleak. I feel bad for people in their 20's or younger, as they will probably live in a different (and worse) America than the one we grew up in. But putting the brakes on some of the liberal stupidity being taught in the schools might help turn the tide a bit.

That ain't no bear.

This is what a bear looks like. Go Nanooks...
