			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This priceless clip is not only laugh-out-loud hilarious (unintentionally), but illustrates perfectly why earnest young college students who want to change the world aren&#8217;t taken seriously. And shouldn&#8217;t be.</p>

<p>These drama queens better hope <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/World-War-Z-History-Zombie/dp/0307346617/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1235975178&amp;sr=8-1">this</a> never happens in reality&#8230;even a <em>zombie</em> could get inside their <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ejectejecteject.com/archives/000172.html">OODA loop</a>.</p>
<p>These earnest and sensitive students (assuming they are all students, which I gather from the officers&#8217; focus on seeing NYU IDs was a matter of some doubt) must not be in engineering or science programs&#8230;not only do they seem to have a lot of spare time on their hands, but the dithering and indecision and &#8220;consensus building&#8221; didn&#8217;t make their heads explode.  Yet another reason that I feel fortunate to have obtained my political science B.A. during that pleasant break from self-important campus protest moronery which coincided with the Bush 41 presidency.  Sure, MSU had about a week of tantrums during Desert Storm, but the conflict was over before the theater students and victimhood studies majors and the like could arrive at any nonhierarchical consensus-based decisions beyond making up a few clunky posterboard placards and shuffling around listlessly outside the International Center bleating <em>&#8220;No Blood For Oil!!!&#8221;.</em>  </p>
<p>Which is a good thing, since had it dragged on they might have eventually worked themselves into enough of a preening, self-righteous lather to throw themselves against the battlements of <a target="_blank" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hannah_Administration_Building.jpg">Fortress Hannah</a>, and there would have been no end to the coverage of the heartless DiBiaggio regime&#8217;s brutal refusal to oppress them (the Hannah building was reputedly designed to contain sit-ins and the like without interruption to university operations, allowing the president to simply ignore such outbursts).</p><p><a class="a2a_dd a2a_target addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save#url=http%3A%2F%2Fmarsblog.net%2Fwp%2F2009%2F03%2Fnyu-students-protest-fail-to-understand-why-nobody-takes-them-seriously%2F&amp;title=NYU%20Students%20Protest%2C%20Fail%20to%20Understand%20Why%20Nobody%20Takes%20Them%20Seriously" id="wpa2a_2"><img src="http://marsblog.net/wp/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share"/></a></p>]]></content:encoded>
