That's right, everyone else is evil but a UCSC student is beyond criticism. Josh, your attempt at justification really just reveals the depth of your denile of your complicity.

You have the power to decide not to support the UC System. Don't pull that helpless act. Even though I know the power of the victim routine these days.

Well you seem to be grasping at some logic here. Yes the labs make money, that wether you like it or not, helps support the UC system that provides the "excellent education" you seem to be touting so strongly.

You will never solve a single problem until you realize your place in it.

You clearly illustrate my distaste for the propaganda the UC system produces. They Churn out nuclear weapons while at the same time churning out self reightous, finger pointing, PC robots as a smoke screen for their true agenda.
