#1 Federico Martinez, 23, a student at Evergreen State College in Olympia

Home of the Pancakes!

Remember, folks, the students and faculty of Evergreen State aren't anti-war; they're on the other side!

#2 "I want to learn to read not to kill."

You're in college, asshole. You should already know how to read. Although Evergreen State was mentioned as in attendence...

#6 23 years old and still a student? Must be a Professional student. This reeks of someone who will NEVER join the real world.

#7 DB: See comment #2. They want to learn to read (although, they should've learned that well before college)...how can you be against that (/sarcasm off/)???

"The youth of this city and the youth of this country are standing up against this war," Federico Martinez, 23, a student at Evergreen State College in Olympia, said after the protests.

Man, oh man! You call 3-4 dozen punk kids the "youth of this city and the youth of this country"? Exactly how many students are there at Evergreen State College? This is just like Al Sharpy and Je$$e claiming they speak for the black community.

#8 tu3031, this guy wasn't speaking metaphorically. Evergreen State College is what's quaintly called an "experimental" school.

#9 "Evergreen State College" is one of many playgrounds for the lefty math-is-hard crowd. While China and India produce over a million engineering grads each year, we pay for these 23 year-old semiliterate, total innumerates to pursue "learning community programs". Acc to the school's former provost:

North Seattle College's "The Shaping of Cultures, Myths, and Identities" combined perspectives from history, communication, literature, and women's studies. It encouraged students to examine their own experiences while looking at broader issues about our origins, values, and identities (especially focused on gender, race, and class) and ways that such issues have been shaped by history and myths....

Another benefit of learning communities is that they provide a comprehensive framework for change that gets beyond the piecemeal nature of most reform efforts. Learning communities foster implementation of inquiry-based approaches to learning (such as service learning, multicultural education, and collaborative writing and research projects) that are not easily accommodated in fifty-minute classes. Most learning communities also rely on experiential learning and forms of reflective practice, something they could not easily do with a conventional course structure.
So nice to see American higher education doing its part to help the US maintain its intellectual and technological dominance in the 21st c...

#10 Three or four dozen college student protestors. Must be a slow day at the Associated Press. Next we'll be seeing frat parties as the lead stories in the New York Times.

"The youth of this city and the youth of this country are standing up against this war... We want education to be the funding priority of the United States government, not the occupation of a sovereign nation."
Ummmm, the war was two years ago... and the sovereign nation hasn't asked us to leave... and at 23 your education is no longer a funding priority. Get a job, slacker.

#11 Sucessful recruiting should attract energetic thoughtful and intelligent with the strongest of convictions. Obviously this recruiting station is located way to close to college campi and is attracting derelict slackers unsuitable for the protecting freedom. The station should be moved at earliest convenience and recommendations ought to be made to BRAC concerning the viability of having military installations in Washington state at all
