Oh and I bet you know soooo much about politics... (shake my head) I don't agree with Kucinich myself but he is one of few honest politicians and I can respect that.

WHY DID OBAMA PARK THE TRACTOR ON OUR LAWN???
THE ONLY PRESIDENTS THAT SHUD PARK ON OUR LAWN ARR PRESIDENTS BORN IN OUR COUNTRY!
I'm glad he shared his knowledge on the origin of ISU.
Until 1959 it was known as the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. - Wiki
I guess metal working and Plato about sum it up.

The person who wrote the letter obviously doesn't realize these implement manufacturers employ many thousands of Americans. Farm implement manufacturing is one of the few manufacturing industries that's still based primarily within the US. Ames in particular has a hydraulic transmission plant located on E. 13th Street that makes transmissions for a number of these corporations, so I don't mind them marketing their products on campus, as long as these products are still made in the USA.

Pretty well written article that should appear in tomorrow's daily in response to the original one. Enjoy! :yes:
Letter: Putting the A in VEISHEA - Iowa State Daily: Opinion
Letter: Putting the A in VEISHEA - Iowa State Daily: Opinion
In a typical Iowa fashion, someone reasonable and knowledgeable responds to printed words by someone less reasonable and less knowledgeable without tearing them a new one or even denigrating them for amusement purposes. They simply state the the facts, explain the tradition, and validate the exhibit.
The article that spawned this response was neither clever nor knowledgeable. It appears to be someone with political aspirations which trumps the persons destination for sensibility and worse yet - common sense.
I hope this discussion doesn't take a political slant (too late) because an ill-informed opinion is an ill-informed opinion (read: an idiot is an idiot).
Vehement political types are much more like each other than any of us. Reasonable people are still the majority - we just don't scream as loud.
The original article stunk of liberal bias; it was obvious from the 1st paragraph on when he said "there were three tractors sitting on a beautiful patch of grass". He probably refers to mowing the lawn as a unjustified violation of the civil rights of innocent vegitative matter and would get Obama to allocate billions borrowed against your kids future to fund a study and to organize a grass roots measure to pass legislation making it a felony to commit genocide against ... grass.
They're not chain link fences, they're just posts with chains connecting them. And if students would just use the sidewalks, there would be no need for them. I don't have a problem with students being on the grass...studying, playing frisbee, whatever, but some would just as soon cut across the grass than not and that creates little cattle trails everywhere. I see students every day get off the bus by the Hub and what do they do? Walk straight over the grass toward the library. If it's muddy, they'll use the sidewalks, but otherwise not. All the grass there is dead from being trampled.
I would rather have fences than trampled paths all over the place. How freaking hard is it to stay on the sidewalk?
What a travesty. Tractors parked in front of the Ag Engineering building for half a week!
