OMG. I hate it when crazy people yell at me. I wish I could just scream "Shut the fuck up" at them. But, I can't. It'll only make me out to be the crazy one.
I read an article today about how UC has to go to court against all these protestors for animal rights. I think that if the lab practices done to animals is justified and beneficial to science, then it is acceptable. I think that the protestors have ALL rights to nonviolent protest. But throwing firebombs at professors' houses is not acceptable. What if somebody gets hurt? Sometimes, I feel that these activists use these just causes as an excuse to let out their aggression.
On a different note, I had a guest professor today. He seems like an old quiet type when he walked in. But, he's hilarious. He sounds like a surfer boy and makes little dances to demonstrate cell movement. Very cool. It's funny that scientists usually hate spelling; most of my professors dread it. They write as minimally as possible. Yet, the names they give to organisms and procedures are the longest and complicated words in the world.
