Subject: RE: BS: Students march against tuition fees UK
2012.10? Not good enough. Perhaps a class action lawsuit might be in order. If the government - the politicians and the silly servants - haven't the brains to get this right they should be sent back to school. The students themselves should have the brains to think this through and go about mitigating the problem without resorting to this silly ass marching and resulting violence. It all seems so silly that, again, IF it is required, NOBODY can see how to do it properly.

I keep saying "if it is required" because it is easily proven that it is not required. It's a simple cost-benefit analysis which one can underline emperically by citing the example of the benefit of just HAVING children and nurturing them. If you educate the young, they provide economic benefit in future. If you do not educate the young, they provide little except cannon fodder. Ahhhh, there it is. Yeah, I'll say it for the thousandth time... the rich subjugate the poor. In order for them to wage war to save their richess, they need a hungry, young populace which they can manipulate.

But, if the students (poor) were smart, they would sue the politicians for breach of contract, trust and deriliction of duty. After all, the politicians are paid and, thus, they have a contract to uphold a reasonable duty of care that does not bring financial hardship such as is being forced on students already attending uni. It's just common sense.

The only other recourse is to lynch the fuckers... as Marie Antoinette the T'ird said, "Let them eat shit... and die." Seriously, if someone fucked you out of a huge amount of coin wouldn't you be a tad pissed? I can understand their anger, not their violence... unless it becomes necessary.
