Time for righteous outrage

The following post is not funny. At least, it shouldn't be. If you do think it's funny, you should really reexamine your outlook on life.

Facebook was blocked by Mercer University earlier today. Nobody using an on-campus connection was able access the website. Rumor has it that this is due to a group called, "The New Meal Plan Requirements are Unacceptable." This group is made up of students (including me) protesting the significantly more expensive meal plan requirements, as well as the sneaky way Mercer is going about implementing them (the new requirements are posted on the meal plan web site, but no announcement has been made through the post office or email, as is customary). I do not know if the rumors are true, but I have confirmed that the site was in fact blocked earlier.

Fortunately, Facebook is now accessible. I'm still ticked off about the meal plan, though. While I'm not affected by the changes, I know that other people who paid $500 extra for kitchen facilities will still have to pay the additional $2000.
