history was made

I won't bore you with all the details of our meeting, let me just say, we had over twice as many voting members present than we needed for quorum.


Special General Meeting, SFU

Hi Shirin,

I appreciate what you are doing for the student body at SFU, how it was dubbed a fight for democracy. But, sadly, there maybe many students who would stand for democracy, but once they get out and start fitting into the society as a missing piece of puzzle, the democratic value will cease to exist.

I ask you how many of these graduate students who fought desparately for their rights will continue to fight for the freedom of the working people after they graduate? How many of them will become executives and CEO's of major corporations that would eventually take advantages of the working class?

We live in a pseudo-democratic society, where the rich and the richest govern the well being of its people. It's a twisted form of democracy and it won't be anytime within the forseeable future that the people would realise that they live under this unjust system.

That's enough of my rant.
