Friend made ribs today, they were delicious. I had meant to go out to eat but it's so much better when you chill out with friends and eat ribs.
Current CUPE strike pisses me off, for many reasons. On the surface alone, it hurts students and will push back administrative work that already runs rather slow at school. Otherwise I don't believe it's been well organized, and in the long run will hurt their cause more than anything, hike up tuition, and in a few years we'll all be feeling repercussions.
As someone who identifies themself primarily as a socialist, I should, stereotypically, support the strike. But I don't. It's not the issue, I disagree with methods that are detrimental to the overall cause and I think every situation should always be analyzed from a logical perspective. Having a strike at the very beginning of a school year when a large number of students are just coming into the school and are not well-informed enough to support them. Rather, it draws their ire and the students are the mob power of the University system.

I'm going to end that line of thought since I've exhausted my viewpoint in conversation today already. I think in the last few years I have become far less of an idealist than those I know. Especially the free-market capitalists. Talk about idealism. Perhaps I shall post some of the thoughts I've jotted down for the Manifesto later.
