Does ink instead of photons make it more legitimate? Why weren't the newspapers there? Because we don't have enough staff to be everywhere these days, alas. The whole point of a protest is TV time.

I guess we'll find out if the coming sequence of events will change this. I'm heartened that the faculty have had the gumption to reject the contract that was being forced onto them, but I fear that We the People of the State of Hawai‘i will turn on them, and transform them into the reincarnation of Reagan's air traffic controllers. The cheapest way to deal with decaying infrastructure <i>is</i> to abandon it ...
