When we reach week ten I’ll be interested to see if any of the “hunger” strikers have lost any weight at all.
Princeton. Must be great to be able to horse around on an Ivy League campus playing Che Guevera and still have Mom and Dad foot the bill. And even better to then get a job at an Ivy League school or ABC News because of your connections. Why didn’t I do that? Oh, yeah. Because I don’t have any connections.

Jess, I tend to think what they call a “hunger” strike is to drink gallons of juices, protein drinks and Gatorade. There’s enough nutrition in this kind of diet to allow such a hunger striker to gain weight. I suspect this strike could on until winter weather makes living in a tent uncomfortable.
Hopefully the university has installed portable toilets for the campers’ use. Or maybe they just head for the dorms between their various chants of “Death to the Colonizers.”
