A hunger strike where nobody starves. Maybe it’ll be like Sheehan where they’ll gain weight. heh.
I should go on a hunger strike (to lose a few pounds).
Finally, a student demand I can live with.
I just hope there are enough campus dorm rooms for all of Arizona's illegal immigrants.
Godspeed!
Let them go hungry then. Although I don’t have any respect for most academicians, my experience indicates that raises given to execs of universities are usually paid out of donated funds, not state taxes. Sorry, folks, but donors don’t give universities money to pay custodians and gardners.
Maybe they can come up with a way to pay these people. There’s no money stupid.
Hunger strikers implicitly recognize the humanity of their opponents by suggesting that their self-inflicted suffering will exert influence. Could you imagine a hunger strike in Auschwitz, or in opposition to the Mongol Horde? Hunger strikers are the ‘adult’ version of ‘I’ll eat worms and die, then you’ll be sorry’. I just want to slap ‘em!
Somebody go sneak over there nearby and fry some bacon! ;-)
Don’t they realize this will negatively impact tofu processors, organic arugula farmers, alfalfa sprout collectives, and many other workers and peasants?
Oh, the humanity!
Or, just as good, send them a Weight Watchers membership!
Ha!
I’m right there with ya! I could stand to lose my “powerpacks”.
Technically, beer is not a food,...right?
These boneheads are probably all vegans ~ it’s all a part of their cultural superiority complex.
Yeah, well, I was a vegetarian for a couple of years. Bacon broke me. LOL!
They say it...but eventually, the LibWussies will bail..and make a bee line to the dollar menu drive thru’s to stuff their ‘dependant’ faces.
May they all end up in the same condition as Bobby Sands. Dead Losers.
2) Restores the hours that were cut from low-wage service workers at UC Berkeley
They can recruit a volunteer Red Pioneer Youth brigade to go harvest some more money off the trees where it grows.
3) Drops the student conduct charges that occurred during the academic year 2009-10. Students should not be prosecuted for peacefully protesting UC executives' misplaced priorities.
Of course, that cannot include the poor pinko who broke into the president's house. She was shot dead by police.
4) Commits to doing everything within UCs power to preserve quality, affordable benefits for UC workers
The money plantation again.
5) Suspends the student code of conduct and initiates a democratic, student-led process to review the code.
I'm sure the revolutionary student/worker leadership can come up with a good substitute. Just ask Trotsky or the Ukrainian kulaks.
6) Accepts responsibility for the violence and escalation of the confrontation surrounding Wheeler Hall on November 20th that resulted in injuries to many students and commits to using non-violent means of ensuring safety at student demonstrations in the future.
I have a better idea: Equip the mounted police with fur hats and sabers so they can ride these Bolsheviks down Cossack style.
7) Publicly denounces Arizona's law and deems UC Berkeley a sanctuary campus for immigrant students and workers.
Now, there's a proposal we can all get behind. I can just see the union agitators welcoming illegals into their Marin County condos.
