DeLaRick, I think David65 is actually right. It would really be in everyone's interest if Mexico could move forward and develop a healthier economy. Better for us, but mostly better for Mexicans. That's not in any way the same statement Astrofan is making.
Seems to me this will punish people who are home during the peak time of day - families with small kids, retirees. The folks who can least afford the extra cost. How does that song go... them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose...
Er, jimsvmij, if libraries are only used by "non digitalized" people, how exactly is that a luxury? I would say a stadium is a luxury. San Diego Public Library has 528,855 active members and over 100,000 children have library cards. How many Chargers season ticket holders are there and how much do those tickets cost? Football is a luxury. Libraries: actually not.
One of the things that UCSD tries to teach is the importance of getting it right. Some of the organizers of the event in question were apparently Pike members, but the fraternity's UCSD chapter itself has vigorously denied that this was an official or frat-sanctioned event. Unless Bradford has some evidence to the contrary, which has so far not been made public, Student is correct in suggesting that this is an overstatement.
OK, I think the party was deplorable, let me just get that out there. And the university condemns it as does the frat that some of the organizers were members of. And I think having the discussions and teach-in are good steps. But... when it comes to UCSD punishing the students... how exactly is that supposed to work? These are adults, doing something that's not illegal on their own time on their own property. It university computers were used to create the Facebook invitation, or if they claimed it was a UCSD event, then they can go after them for that. But otherwise, the university can't go after people for non-criminal activities on their own time when they don't involve university resources or the UCSD name. (Which is why they CAN go after the SRTV folks) Overall, I think that's a good thing. As much as I decry racism and hatred, I do not want to see a thoughtpolice state emerging where the university can be arbiter of what thoughts are OK and what thoughts are not OK.
It would be helpful to provide a few details even if you think KPBS readers are not the target audience. The event runs 9am-1pm at the County Administration building, the County courthouses in Vista, El Cajon and Chula Vista, as well as the fairgrounds.
