When the Right Comes to Campus.

I don't understand why Libertarians of the right and Republican students even bother showing up to political debates at CSUS. One simply needs to ask them how they feel about government programs and then proceed to call then hypocrites for attending a government subsidized and managed school.

A girl was blabbing on and on about socialism this, socialism that.
I asked her, "Have you read any Marx? Any Bakunin? Rosa Luxembourg? Anton Pannekoek?"
She mumbled that she's read bits and pieces of Marx.
I said, "Bits and pieces? Okay, well I've read extensively from those authors, much more than bits and pieces, and you do not know what you are talking about."

A kid walked nearby wearing a "Meg 2010" t-shirt.
I said, "Hey! Hey man! Did you buy that on Ebay?"
"No, I got it form Meg Whitman herself."
"Oh ya, say... is it worth a billion dollars?"
"No."
"So, then I mean, what do you have in common politically and economically with a billionaire besides nothing?"

  1. I bet I sound like that girl sometimes, [a lot of times? yeh..] babbling on about things that I only understand a little. That's why I like talking to you! You give me lots to think about. Still waiting on that radical summer reading list, my friend!
