Members of the Undergraduate Council presented CUE with the UC’s recently passed legislation proposing scheduling accommodations that would allow students both to attend the inauguration and to make up their exams...
...building global cars - the idea was to share chassis and parts across brands, a strategy that made sense at the engineering level. At the consumer level, it was a disaster. Internal clashes for control removed imagination from design, resulting in look-alike Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs. Sales declined; cue another restructuring.

Cue the banners decrying opponents as hateful and intolerant. Is this unfortunate divide what activists seek? Certainly that sort of culture of separatist intolerance is what arises when advocates take this approach...
