There's only really one bit from this email that was truly
insightful - on the subject of whether you paid fees
voluntarily.

You then describe the lack of food subsidies, how your school
circumvents the need for union assistance, medical and legal
benefits weren't part of the package, etc.
Surely - by your stated logic - you should have paid up, and
*then* fought to make them do what you want them to do.
Weren't you thinking about how other students - less advantaged
than you (three universities and you're how old?) - could benefit
from the COMMUNITY aspects of you paying your fees? Everyone
has to pay in order for everyone to benefit, don't you know.
