"Books not bombs"

[video below the fold]
Ch. 2 coverage

This is quite an excellent report.
Reporter: The Maine Peace Action Committee is calling for a change in spending...

Student: Investing in education, particularly higher education, is much more constructive for society, and obviously doesn't result in such violence.

Reporter: They want the federal government to cut defense spending, and use that money for education.
Right on. Spending for wars continues apace while despite a few proposed cuts the Pentagon budget is going to grow under Obama. Meanwhile the heart of the University is being torn out.

Channel 7 had a decent item too, HERE. Channel 5 couldn't be bothered, even though they did manage to carry an item on a charity nerf-gun event in between their ad-valanches.
