Wow Josh are you deluded. I appreciate you bravado for wanting a good education. But get a clue

Acting as if you are an innocent bystander to the UC system while supporting it is ridiculous.

The more students that support it the bigger it gets. The more money that the UC system makes from WMD programs and "greed" the bigger it gets and the better able it is to have the "excellent" education that you claim.

Maybe you should suggest joining the KKK while expressing your displeasure at racism. There is no hypocracy there. Just like, doing what I can from the inside or out...man?!?

"we're actually the 2nd richest UC" SPARE ME....

You are supporting the worlds largest WMD program by choosing to go to a UC school.

"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war"

I don't have a problem I can quit anytime I want.

By adding 5000 more students as the UC plans, that is going to tax(in a different way) the whole water system of Santa Cruz. That, with the inevetable drought that will come will be a real problem as the population of Santa Cruz, as well as everywhere else, continues to increase. Carrying capacity is a term you should get to know.
