10. No, I won't be there tonight

Jan 2016

we live in Chapel Hill. Symphony tickets tonight at Memorial Hall.

My undergrad and graduate degrees are from UCLA. I had Ronald Reagan's signature on my BS diploma. He started this crap--destroying the
public universities--back in the early 70's when he attacked the UC system. You have to give it to the Republicans--if they are anything, it is focused and determined--for
their commitment to destroying public education.

I just hope that the academic communities of the UNC System will get together with the Moral Mondays group to get out the vote in 2016. The Republicans
simply must be stopped.
