Canadian students of this generation have no idea how to be activists without there laptops! Brandon University is on a 16 day strike. Well I have to say OK shut up, go back to your office, your ego's and let your young "Slaves" come in an swoon at your feet.
For these kids will not have pensions, job security, why the fuck should you... Education is no longer seen with the same prestige it once did. Even when I started back in 1998, it was nerve wracking to wait for that letter of entrance acceptance. The test we had to take to get in to the academy. They no longer do that. Or even interview students prior to entering a degree.? They just pay and poof..
If there we're a few self "thinkers" marching with the profs. I could tell them that I have three Bachelor degrees and bachelor degree is a glorified diploma NOW.
Students are CONSUMERS too? oh... Maybe not since some have not had the "Proper" education?
That's my two cents. That's my pension check!

THINK: A Grassroots Zine, for the Politically Incorrect
As fall is turning into winter on the prairies and Brandon becomes more of a winter wonderland that only Hallmark cards could love. For this Excluded Two-Spirited Dakota society member. I have decided to keep busy this winter with a NEW "Concept" of a Grassroots Zine that will be about everything and anything. I have started asking a very intelligent educated knowledgeable team of core editors and cut and paster's and passionate about Brandon's "creative scene", picking up where MANY Brandon Zines have left off. THINK will build on that experience and do this for a year maybe more who's to say? I am committed to six issues only.This is a "fun" hobby. NOT a profit making venture.
Submission deadline is December 15th for the January 15th Issue 1.
The team invites any and all submissions. Get writing or doing a review of a bar, band, or "I Saw You" just like the Georgia Straight! LOL...Anything creative. Politically incorrect, and I/We will read and review and BANG! you get your fifteen mins of fame.
So feel free to ask any questions and let me know if you have any talents that might come in handy at one of my Zine compiling gatherings...
Most of all HAVE FUCKING FUN!!!!!
Cheers,
THINK Team!
