please don't read this if you don't want to hear ranting.

so after that whole rally and drama with the 6 arrests, the asian american leaders email list, student activism lists, labor action group lists and such were basically spammed by an ignorant bastard who wouldn't even reveal his real name:

"Dear Socialsts,

This used to be a great country when we were free of communism and socialism. But as socialsim has taken over, we more and more find ourselves the victims of mobs of irrational hooligans that are wannabe students. Unfortunately, it takes more then violence to become a contributing member of society.

My suggestion to Stanford Universtiy is to permanently expel the socialists that want to run the University and let them head out to Cuba or Ukrain where there style of freedom is practiced.

Sincerely,
donw"

i have left all spelling errors intact because this person is an IDIOT. just because some people were peacefully standing up for the rights of workers who will lose money and benefits due to subcontracting does *not* mean they are "irrational hooligans that are wannabe students" or even socialists! there was *no* violence except the violence instigated by the security guards at the hospital, as witnessed by videotaping. this closeminded asshole is stuck in the mccarthy era with no perception of the current state of the nation. i would be extremely hard-pressed to think of this country as anything other than capitalistic. this "donw" needs to get his facts straight and get educated. a couple other members of the lists have replied to express their outrage and contempt for such ignorance (besides correcting obvious spelling errors), so then we were graced with yet another email from "donw":

"Hi,

Thanks for the spelling lesson.

Maybe you should take some classes in economics. I wonder where you would be if you had to pay for the Stanford tuition. Probably in the great high school in Havana.

Sincerely,

donw"

what the HELL is that?! this guy had better be drunk and/or somehow not a stanford student. i would be completely ashamed to call him a classmate. i'm sure the person who gave donw that greatly needed spelling lesson *is* paying for his stanford tuition, and what is his ridiculous fixatition with cuba?? my god, GET A LIFE AND A BRAIN! if you want to criticize the protest, fine, that's your right, but at least know what the hell you're talking about.
