“Reclaiming” a library so they could study… nerdy much!? LOL But this makes me so proud to be a UCSD alumnus!

imagine how you'd feel if you knew you were scheduled to die at 7pm today.
Well, that’s how Troy Davis felt. The sad part is, he’s convinced many millions of people his innocence, but it wasn’t enough to keep him alive. There is no solid 100% proof of his conviction and was still executed via lethal injection.
My question to humanity is this.
Who are we as humans to take away someone’s right to live; regardless of what the person did? Justice isn’t served when you kill someone. We aren’t God nor gods, so the decision to end someone’s lives isn’t ours. #shameonyou
Ditto. *sigh* who are we to judge others?

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you.
But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory…
Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea — God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
