This editorial was an obvious and badly failed attempt to interject Marxist teachings from a liberal institution (I know it because I experienced it as a poli-sci undergrad at UCD in the early 80's) to today's much more diverse population. It is convenient and popular (and tremendously hypocritical) among the left to denigrate those they disagree with as being inferior classes, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The mix of education, income, etc. is actually pretty equal between the right and left. Both sides have their government beneficiaries. And while race diversity is the more trumpeted attribute on the left, there are plenty of minority citizens who disagree with mob rule. That is really the discussion to be had- in the battle between right and left in this country, do laws actually mean anything any more? At what point does bad behavior dictate to society?
