Fire in the field


Oh how the fire has grown, spreading its enfuriating furno 

As it stands we have civil unrest in Syria, Afganistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, North Korea.


Yet a group of Quebec students feel their cause of fighting against tuition hikes is detrimental to their livelihood.


Oppression of civil liberties and lack of essential human needs in African countries.


Lest we forget the horrific atrocities of a 75% tuition increase over the next 5 years. 

The insults do not stop there, banners of Che Guevara, associtaions to Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi, pots and pan clanging in the streets. 

How dare you?

Their fight for basic human rights, for the human existance were and will forever be crucial to our history.

How dare you say you are fighting the same causes these people have fought for?

The gaul you have to associate your meneal cause to those of oppressed people.

How dare you mention your cause in the same breath as international atrocities. How dare you! 

If you are unsatisfied with your current government, why did you vote for them if you voted at all?

Where is the justice when working people, who have completed their education, graduated and are now in the workforce now have to "deal" with the embarasment of our future generations.

Where is the logic in their argument when our tax dollars are paying for their education. And if their tuitions do not increase, who will shoulder this burden?
