I'm hungry
Hunger strike! Weapons BAD! That's why we shouldn't keep control of them, and instead hand them over to other private organizations that we don't trust. Or something. I don't really understand the "UC shouldn't be involved in nuclear weapons research logic."
"I don't think education and mass destruction should go hand in hand," said Amanda Cocking, a third-year student in conservation and resource studies at UC Berkeley. Mass destruction should be handled by the uneducated, you see.
"At this point we're feeling like the current nuclear weapons situation, and the fact that the regents haven't listened to us, is calling us to take more dramatic action," said Chelsea Collogne, a 2006 UC Berkeley graduate who works for an anti-nuclear organization and is participating in the fast. Don't get too dramatic. Recall that Collogne is the one who said:
I can't even imagine walking for an hour, much less five days. Those one-hour walks are unimaginable. How dramatic does that make this?
Collogne said the protesters at UC Berkeley will ingest only water over the next eight days. She said they will break the fast next Thursday night or Friday morning after the regents meet at UCSF's Mission Bay campus for their regular monthly meeting. As in... regardless of what the Regents do? Some hunger strike. "Until you give in to our demands, we will be hunger striking. Unless you don't. We'll stop either way."
