in fighting for what is right for us, we (the government and the people) are working toward the ideal common goal---the good of all. we can't just sit, watch, and wait for the government to decide for us then cry foul after the law's been passed. that's just plain foolish
throughout history, students have been the movers and shakers. UP and PUP students fought for what they believe in! they fought for their right and the incoming students' right to affordable and world-class education. if they didnt fight for themselves, then who will? their method may leave a lot to be desired, but please remember that these are young people with hot heads filled with idealism and righteousness. im sure we all remember what it was like to be 18, 19, 20! i, for one, can't blame them. if you want change, be the change you want to see. do something
