OP, lots of people your age, WHATEVER it is, are - taking college courses. You don't have
[ In Reply To ..]to regret that you never went to college, you can do it too. College towns are very popular with retirees for just that reason--so they can enjoy a class or two, attend concerts, etc.
Pub and dem COLLEGE STUDENTS organized the memorial. - Do you hate them too?
[ In Reply To ..]The American Indian burial site they chose is unfortunate. Perhaps next year they could mark the occasion while maintaining the sanctity of those grounds in a way that respects ALL Americans, including those whose ancestors are buried there.
More info an a link from the college - Link
[ In Reply To ..]Go to the article to read the whole thing. No, I do not hate all college students. I was so furious when I read this article as should everyone be furious. They had no right to do what they did and then LIE about WHY they did it.
Amanda Scherker wrote for the Huffington Post:
That said, Middlebury does not seem to have proof that the memorial had been placed on top of a burial site.
“It has never before been suggested that this is a Native American burial ground,” Sarah Ray, the school’s director of public affairs, told The Huffington Post via email.
Zach Despart at the Addison County Independent published the “Abenaki Response”:
Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, called the vandalism “disgusting,” and believes the protestors were acting to promote their own political beliefs.
“We didn’t know anything about this and if we had we certainly wouldn’t have sanctioned it,” Stevens said.
He said that Abenakis do not publicize the locations of their burial sites in order to protect them, and that he has no knowledge of any such sites on the Middlebury campus. Stevens said that even if the site of the memorial had been a burial site, the American flags placed in the earth would not have been a desecration.
“Our burial sites honor our warriors and their bravery,” Stevens said. “Putting flags in the earth to honor bravery would not be disrespectful.”
Stevens served in the U.S. Army; his father fought in Korea and his son served in Iraq as a member of the National Guard.

[ In Reply To ..]It sounds like you're the OP. If so, you are the one who stated: "College Students No Longer Respect Anything American".
There is not a link you can supply that will substantiate such a sweeping generalization.

AZ Students Protest Removal Of Mexican/American History ClassesApr 28, 2011
At the left is the video: TUCSON -- Rowdy students take over a big Tucson school board meeting in protest. It's a pretty wild scene -- and it's all over a Mexican-American studies class, a class that teaches history from a Mexican-American perspective. Here's what's going on. The governing board of the Tucson Unified School District was supposed to consider a plan that would make the class an elective, rather than a required class, like it is now.

Will SC Judicial Activists Uphold Historic Federal Domain Over Immigration?Apr 23, 2012
The central issue is the Obama administration’s contention that Arizona’s police provisions encroached disruptively on federal terrain. “Arizona has adopted its own immigration policy, which focuses solely on maximum enforcement and pays no heed to the multifaceted judgments” (such as declining to separate children from their parents) that immigration law provides for the executive branch to make. Will the court allow state and municipal assertion of local biases an ...

Reasons Not To Dismantle/Destroy MedicareApr 12, 2011
I was just thinking about the long-term ramifications of dismantling or changing Medicare so that it does not cover healthcare needs of the elderly. One important one that originally came to mind was that many people who are now in nursing homes or assisted living won't be able to afford it. They will need to move in with their children unless the children can afford to pay the difference, of course. That will come out of the college fund for families in some case when there just isn' ...

"Gloves with the fingers cut off," Ms. Magnus said, reciting the inventory of ruined items. "Warm socks. Cute patent leather Mary Ja ...
