i like the track, but it just doesn't quite fit. "4 Ghosts I" could work though

I was aiming for a certain time to be honest.

@Fizbanic whats even more sad is that they were up there for 18 months

Thank god these dumb asses smoke pot and aren't sober enough to go into politics. Cus if one of them was a senator and wanted to pass a law that made everbody hug a fucken tree one a day. He would fucken start a sit in until he got his way or until he was on t.v. Thats all they want people. People like these want attention from people because they didn't get enough love at home and want people to notice them. I pity them

The funny thing is that while these tree hugging shit throwing primates were sitting in these tress, the university was cutting down a whole bunch of trees on the other side of campus to build another building there. Talk about a double fail. LOL!!!

those guys rule!! Good work boys, thanks for taking a stand a stand, the UC system has its hands in everything nuclear, nanotech, GMO's, animal testing, defense research, the berkeley tax payers know the deal, the university shows no respect to community, everybody around the world can say what they want on youtube I hope yall learn how to loose the scornful uninformed attitude in general.

Tree-sitters...0

UC Berkeley....42

Couldn't ask for a better game!!!

[toolfanpete]

haha, that's fair. i've been there before.

I am still totally confused. To save 42 trees these protesters planted themselves in the tree (slowing killing it) to stop the University from falling the tree. Wow thank god these people aren't in politics.

I find that most protesters trying to make their point come off less not making the point but making us think more of what idiots they are. Leaving the point totally left behind. People use your brains.
