Well CCK - I can tell you haven't held a job for long - nor have run a business. Most employers I've dealt with (over 40 years now) - did not want high-priced workers. They wanted low-wage, cheap laborers. No employer ever hesitated in firing workers to get cheap labor. If these workers have enough time & energy to hold demonstrations - they have time & energy enough to look for a job. If they don't try & just cry about it - they don't even get sympathy. I've had to try hard for each job and realize - it's not a "fair" working world - never was- never will be. They disrupt services - they get fired. They break laws to "break bread with us" - they go to jail. Too bad.

"As someone who has devoted his life to social justice, it bothers me a little to get some nasty e-mails about if I cared about the world from a 20-year-old who’s never done anything besides protest outside my window."

That quote encompasses the whole debate. I trust Morty more than I trust any of the NLWC people. So don't say that The Daily isn't siding with the students. A large number of students agree with Morty.

Also, this is a great, informative and well-balanced article. Anyone who thinks differently needs to hone their reading comprehension skills.

not bad. art is bad, but the cartoon is funny.

I want ASG to be disbanded and the student activities fee eliminated.

According to Snopes.com, your story about President Bush and the supermarket is false (http://www.snopes.com/history/american/bushscan.asp).

"Should we surprised to see The Daily take the side of the administration over the students or workers yet again?"

Anonymous - many students on campus have not supported the Living Wage campaign because they also do not see it as solid economics, and don't want their tuition money routed away from student services.

As a student I sympathize with the campaign's compassion, but really disagree with implementing the wage. I strongly value that the administration is standing its ground, and is in fact taking my side and that of many other students who don't want their money to go to the campaign.
