I wanted to personally thank Nic Ramos (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/18/nic-ramos-university-of-c_n_810196.html) for being my "Inspirational Figure of the Day". When your school, the University of Colorado at Boulder, told you that their funding was being outpaced by their expenses, you didn't take that blow sitting down. You boldly made your voice heard and made them make sure they understood exactly how much money you were spending on education - in fact you managed to keep their attention for 10 man-hours, costing them $250 (after factoring in salaries, benefits, and overhead for the average university staffer). That'll show them to whine about rising expenses. I'm so inspired, that I too, am starting a protest. I have always hated the American way of creating needless trash, and so whenever I pass a recycling bin I will empty it into the nearest trashcan. When my work is finished I will look down at each garbage can and smile, because I know that you too, in spirit, will be smiling back at me.
Thank you Nic Ramos
