Ann Arbor Idealism

Is there something wrog with idealism? You bet your sweet ass there is. It doesn't take into account people's follies, greed, or downfalls. It also doesn't take into account the state and finances of the locals.

?!

SOLE is boycotting the return of Toxic Hell (aka Taco Bell) to campus, namely Pierpont Commons. Toxic Hell is the cheapest place to get bad Mexican food, including the numerous overpriced bad Mexican places that pepper Ann Arbor's campus (Tios, Panchero's, that cali-mex place, etc). Apparently the way they are so cheap is because they pay the workers who pick their tomatoes 40 cents per 32-lb bucket. According to SOLE's e-mail this number hasn't changed in 20 years, and is close to slave labor rates. The debate, however, is do we want McDonald's, actually the worst McDonald's I have ever seen (it takes 30 minutes to get food, fast food indeed), to remain as the only place besides the evil cafeteria on North Campus for not-so-decent food? Or, do we bite the bullet and get Toxic Hell (hopefully one of those cool Toxic Hell/Pizza Hut Express places) which will be faster, more efficient, and a damn sight cheaper (better for student pockets) than McDonald's? I think the TB/PHE combo is better, damn you SOLE.
