Im thinking right now, as i write of a to sink into this post.
why dont i just post some photos, i cant seem to put words together to convey what i feel. I will say this, WHEN YOU HERE ON THE NEWS THAT YET ANOTHER HUMAN BEING HAS BEEN KILLED BY POLICE, HELL ONE CASE WHERE IT WAS THE KILLING COPS SECOND MURDER IN 15 MONTHS! AND NOT ONE VALD SHOUT OF FOUL, WHEN YOU HEAR THIS AND THEN HEAR A STORY OF BRAVE, CARING , LOVING, PEACEFUL HUMANS RISKING THEIR LIVES AND FREEDOM TO SAVE TREES, T MAKES YOU QUESTION HUMAN NATURE. I HAVE NOT YET HEARD ANYONE RISKING LIFE AND LIMB, CHAINING THEMSELVES TO THE DOOR OF THE POLICE PRECIENT TO DEMAND ANSWERS FOR THESE DEATHS OF OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. I DO NOT HEAR CRIES OF PROTESET ABOUT THE CONDITION OF SCHOOLS IN THE POORER AND NON-WHITE COMMUNITIES IN AMERICA. I DO NOT SEE CROWDS GATHERING OUTSIDE THE EMBASSIES OF COUNTRIES INVOLVED IN ALL SORTS OF MAYHAM AGAINST HUMAN BEINGS. I DO NOT SEE ANYONE CHAINING THEMELVES TO A HOMELESS PERSON DEMANDING
THEY BE FEED AND HOUSED..I CAN GO ON BUT I WANT OFFER PICTURES. LOOK AT THEM AND THINK.
ONE CONCLUSION THAT SEEMS OBVIOUS IS,THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE FULL OF SHIT, AND PEOPLE WHO DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT SAVING ANYONE BUT "THEMSELVES" OR A TREE.
WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
I CAN RESPECT SOMEONE MORE WHO SAYS OUT RIGHT: "I DONT CARE ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF ANYONE BUT A CHOOSEN FEW" THATS BEING HONEST, AND THAT DESERVES MORE RESPECT THAN SOMEONE HANGING UPSIDE DOWN TO SAVE A TREE, BUT QUICKLY RETREATING FROM REAL BRUTALITY AGAINST HUMAN BEINGS" FUCK YOU AND YOUR TREE!
(PROTESTNG IS COOL DUDE!)
(PROTESTING IS A GOOD WAY TO GET LAID!)
(PROTESTING IS FUN!)
(PROTESTING IS WASTE OF TIME UNLESS IT IS TIME NOT WASTED.)

OR COULD IT BE:
KEEP THE POOR, POOR UNDER-EDUCATED, OPPRESSED AND BRUTALIZED BY THE CRIMINAL
IN- JUSTICE SYSTEM, PRETEND YOU CARE UNLESS IT MAKES LIFE FAIR FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO EAT THE SAME GOOD FOOD YOU DO, DRIVE THE NICE CARS YOU DO, LIVE IN SAFE COMMUNITIES, LIKE YOU DO, HAVE HAPPY STABLE FAMILIES LIKE YOU DO, COMPETE, YOU KNOW SURVIVE...














THE COST TO THE TAX PAYERS (AS YOU READ THIS THINK ABOUT THOSE KIDS IN NEARBY OAKLAND WHO HAVE NO ART PROGRAMS OR SCHOOL BOOKS, OR TEACHERS LIVING IN SQAULOR)
UC Berkeley-ites take to the trees, protest campus connections to British Petroleum - others are in the trees re saving the historic oak trees , still others have diffrent reasons. How come no one ever sits in trees over the border issue? This is the kind of thing that should appear on that “Stuff White People Like” that I linked to last month. Or is protesting in trees about “Things White People Dislike” ? I emailed this to some less ‘privileged’ at a state school, who have bigger, more awful things to protest about- they laughed.

UC Berkeley officials say the tree-sitters have cost the school $367,000 since the protest began one year ago:

$100,000

Police staffing

$125,000

Private security

$37,000

First fence around protest site

$80,000

Second fence around protest site

$25,000

Equipment, cleanup and other costs
