The city of Berkeley, CA is a place where common sense goes to die. There is a group of protesters that have been living in a grove of oak trees on the campus of UC Berkeley. Some have been there since December 1, 2006. Why are they living in the trees? They are opposing a plan by the university to construct a new athletic center where the trees are currently located.
This place is truly the bizarro world. The squatters’ tactics for evading capture include tossing their own excrement at the university police trying to remove them. Just recently, a supporter of the group was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
I have no sympathy for either side in this dispute. The attention-starved dim bulbs wasting away in the foliage have accomplished nothing and will eventually lose. The lifelong contrarian elitist university administration is experiencing the fruits of their labor. Reap what you sow!
People that place the value of an inanimate object over all are a severe drag on society. And those that praise and support them are just as damaging. What a jolly goods show it would be to start dropping these trees, nuts and all!
