As we were taught to "Question Authority" it was all too easy to start here at home so we "Thought Globally and Acted Locally" because we could work it in between classes, spring break and make it back to our room in time to watch the latest un-reality sit-com showing us yet another "very special story" about what's wrong in America.
Not to mention it's a easy way to get laid.
Not that there's anything wrong with hairy legs and pits. :-)
