When I was an undergrad students were protesting the Vietnam War, and various administration policies. Now they are protesting the administration itself. Again Mish details that students at Yuba Community College are protesting a $30,000 raise for the Community College Chancellor's $250,000 salary. 

Now go re read my post two back about California's budget problems. A board that would raise the salary of the top guy in the midst of all the other cutbacks is simply clueless about the big picture. 

This past week there were world protests in Moscow, Venezuela, and Iran. Now in Yuba CC. The 70s are back in all their socionomic excitement. Our analog for this decade is the period from 1966-1982, it is happening where all social movements start in the USA, California.
