75. Reminds me of a Clash lyric. "Please save us and not the whales."

And it doesn't mean the whales aren't worth saving. It means you need perspective if you're going to save society. Some protests make much more sense than others, and if you're looking for a big change that saves the whales, maybe you really need to focusing on something that doesn't seem to have much to do with whales at first.

Making life difficult for the best public university in the world (which is a key role in replicating a stable middle class and therefore democracy) over 44 trees probably isn't the best way to create an environmentally stable future.
