I'm genuinely curious, since my general impression of the proceedings (and my reading of the document itself) was that they were conducted with scruple. Unusual and drama-laden, yes, but technically correct. I'd go further and say that the Niko clique gave the overall impression of trying to cover their own laziness in respect of their central operating document by covering with bluster about "activism" and "he who is without sin cast the first stone." I'm tangentially reminded of one of many immortal exchanges from Ghostbusters (the First and One True version): Dr. Peter Venkman: Ray, pretend for a moment that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on. Dr Ray Stantz: You never studied. From a pure gamesmanship perspective, the anti-Nikonistas had done their homework on this one.

The really annoying thing is that there is another side to Niko that most people don't know. As we were walking out he told a girl to "shut her fucking mouth." Thats real class... why do you think people on student councils are idiots? I think some people are really intelligent and then some people are just looking for a popularity contest and they just like to hear themselves speak. I don't think its smart to generalize though...

The point is to clearly and loudly shout out that the GSSC are clowns who should stop pretending to speak for the quiet majority of real students who are otherwise engaged in this thing we call "study." Student councils per se are a joke, regardless of college affiliation. Niko is simply a paradigm example of "student government" Kool Aid drinking taken to its logical, sordid conclusion. Apply this liberally to other, similar asshats on any council who take the damned things seriously. Most GS *don’t* give a shit about GSSC.
