	Hey at least you tried something, congratulations, but why does that 
mean you should be little what someone else did for the community?  Who are you
to say your work as a crisis counselor did as much good as what a frat did 
for some charity?  So you felt good about yourself before you went back to 
boozing and being the same jerk you were.  As far as the frat "twerps" went
how many of them did you call twerps to their face?  Also I didn't know SDSU
was known for its academic aspects anyway, the only reason people I know even
applied there is because it made the Playboy Top 10 party schools.

Yeah we had a grad student adviser when I was in the Model U.N., and he thought
he knew it all too.  He was a grass roots idiot as well way into liberalism
and all that garbage, but I guess he was happy not being taken seriously by
any of the other adults, like I'm sure you are.

	Did you have a good time spitting on our returning soldiers and calling
them baby killers too?  Are you happy about you and your friends not supporting
your fellow Americans and driving them into lives of misery?  Do you apologize
to all the homeless veterans that you see for sending them hate mail when
they were thousands of miles from home facing death every day?  You guys were
great.  Maybe if you weren't so strung out in the 60's you could have protested
without being so negative.  Maybe you could have made a change without 
ostracizing your friends and neighbors that happened to get drafted.
