A new era. So they say.

Today, Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States of America. Tomorrow will be the judge.

In other news, Stephen Harper's approval rate is down to 35%. Michael Ignatieff's is 44%.

I would love to shake people out of their apathy. To move them to take up causes; to dislodge them from being 'just content'. I find this most frustrating on the university campus. Students who should rightly have a say in their education do not bother to exercise their basic freedoms. "Why bother? I'm only here for 4 years. Protest is for left wing nut bags." Universities, for that matter ALL public educational institutions, should be for the benefit of student and faculty. I'm mostly upset at the out of touch governance structures. UBC will become a UniversCity. It will be the death of the place.

End of random thoughts.
