That's what it should all be about, right? Yeah, Hillard looks like he just wanted to make sure people were safe. That’s what it should all be about, right?

I applaud the campus for understanding the significance of this day for some students.

You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it." -Bill Hicks “I loved when Bush came out and said, “We are losing the war against drugs.” You know what that implies?

It has more to do with student power than a mass toke-in. Cops & powers- that-be cannot tolerate people-power because it flaunts theirs ! Such spontaneous gatherings have been part of campus life for decades, but now, the association with legal pot, recently given thumbs down in a national poll, is carte blanche to disperse such gatherings, in the hope of preventing any grass-roots, ground-swell movement which counters it. From UC to CU its clear that student power is once again under attack by a system which has one motive: the destruction of any semblance of the sixties. Stay straight, sober, & conform while you go ass-deep in debt. Hilliard’s last comment speaks volumes about the absurdity discussed herein.
