Cal-Maritime students cook up unusual type of tuition protest

To protest the ever-increasing cost of higher education, California Maritime Academy students Tuesday held a unique bake sale -- cupcakes cost $30,000 each, a Rice Krispies treat went for $75,000 and an entire cake cost a whopping $100 million.

Why should the costs all go on the students backs? Because they are getting all the benefits! These punks think the world owes them a living. Here they have a country club campus and expect to be treated like royalty for $99 a month. I wonder how many of these children are republicans or come from republican households. They are now getting what they deserve. At least George Bush cut taxes for millionaires.

You know absolutley NOTHING about these students.
They PAY upwards of 25,000 per year to go here. And although there is assistance, most of the money comes off their own backs!( or their folks )
Country club hugh?
Ask one of them how easy they have things here.
We take anyone here..jusst like the marines...and if they make it..you and the rest of this country will be better for it.
Don't insult us.

You can't handle the truth, Cappy. Let's start with your figure of $25,000 per year to go there. Tell us, is that tuition and fees? Or does it include a hotel like dormitory, a catering service called a cafeteria,groundskeepers, security, etc.? Are these children required to attend, are they draftees or are they there of their choosing? Give the readers the truth. If their parents choose to pay for their children to attend isn't that a choice? You mention anyone can attend. Is that absolutely anyone and everybody from the public? Give us the truth. You intimate that Americans are better off by the grand sacrifice these children are suffering through. Wouldn't America be better served if these students volunteered with the homeless, worked hospice, or other pressing social issues? Tell the truth, damn it! Finally you connect these privileged freeloading students with the Marines. The Marines are America's worst enemy. They have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Their surviving brothers, sisters, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends are now blood enemies of the U.S. Marines are scum. Tell the truth, Cappy.

Concerning your comments about the U.S. Marines, Howard, shove your head further up your arse, we can still hear you.
