I love my alma mater

I remember as a student, Stanford could feel like a bubble a lot of the time, but every once in a while something like this would happen to remind everybody that yes, we are part of the real world, and we do actually care.

It's nice to see it happening still.

My favorite bits from this article:
Some students, like incoming freshman Alejandra Aponte, said they were surprised by the protest’s high turnout.

“I thought Stanford was really a bubble, but seeing all the people that are out here has shown me that people really are concerned,” she said. “I’m Latina; I’m from Guatemala. Right now President Bush is doing some very interesting things in Latin America. We have a phrase ‘For every pig, there will be a Saturday.’ Basically, his game is over.”


And of course,

The Stanford Marching Band also performed in front of the Hoover Institution and entertained protestors with music and antics.


Ah yes, we always did well with the antics. :)
