today was the day I lost faith in the system

Nobody cares. Those with power don't listen to those without it. My university used mounted police against it's students today. Students were knocked unconscious by police with batons and the proposed fee increases were still implemented.
I'm sore, tired and pissed off.
g'night.

in any case of violence or vandalism by protestors there seems to be a public backlash against the cause and the people trying to fight for it. Of course this is magnified by an unbalanced media coverage which assumes that simply because protesting is synonymous with dissent, protestors then must be the aggressors if any violence takes place

That really sucks miss, as does the whole fee increases, and the way violence is used to solve everything in our society of recent times. When will they learn.
