I remember sitting in the LSA Dean's office in 2000, meeting with Bollinger & the Dean, during the Second Sitin on campus.

The Dean told us that has she had once, many years ago, participated in student activism. There was more than a little irony in realizing that she wasn't doing a very good job dissuading us. Us in a different world from the one she had protested in.

We were of course not the first to be in a position to be told, "I share your views, but I can not help you because of the gravity of my position."

Never Act Old.

It's horrifying what a mortgage will do to a person.
(Dream of home ownership, my ass...It's social control.)

In fact the whole fucking American Dream is about slowly building a life that leaves you with unbearable responsibility and very few choices. Create a life ruled by debt, and lose what small power you held. That's how we grow old in America.

Believe there's an option for another way - only one grain of sand. Rename her.
