In addition to Professor William Malandra's work in developing the endowed chairs in Hebrew Bible and Christian Studies, he also deserves credit for his work in promoting the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. If anything, students have an appalling lack of knowledge and concern for issues and events that directly affect their daily lives. And last time I checked, there were U.S. military troops stationed in numerous places around the globe, but apparently they're not being killed at a high enough rate to pique your interest.
Military action is dictated by politics and politicians.
If you did suddenly object to some newly passed legislation, what makes you think that your opinion, or the collective opinion of college students, would carry any weight when you have so proudly proclaimed that you don't vote and don't care. Aside from war and military service, legislation concerning serious issues such as abortion, poverty, education and crime prevention is being debated at every level of government just about every day. If issues such as these seem too esoteric for your taste, think about the following. The untold billions of dollars that we as current or future taxpayers send to the government are used to fund programs and services that affect what you pay for food, clothing and just about every other consumer good. In addition, those dollars determine the quality of your daily commute by funding highways and mass transit, your personal safety by funding police, and of course your ability to attend this fine public institution.
