Music

I must agree, its hard to just pick one song that means a lot to you. Everyone has songs they enjoy at different times. The class was a very enjoyable one though.

MUSIC

Music makes the world go round. I really enjoyed Thursday's class. Everyone's choice of songs were great. Really hard to pick just one song...I think I had 12 at one point. Good job everyone. Great tunes!

Les...what would your Power song be?

Proposition 8

I'm absolutely appalled that Prop 8 actually passed. As I mentioned in class on Thursday, it just seems so bizzare. Why all the blind hatred? It just makes me sick.
How fitting, though, that the more I read about it in the paper and online, the more I'm beginning to understand the real power dynamic behind it. Arnie, the Republican governor of California, is working in a Democratic state. "They" see the country feeling empowered with the rise of Obama, so they strike where they can. The GLBT community is an easy target once "They" get the ignorant "Christians" behind them. The GLBT community wants the right to get married if they so wish, so "They" strike fear into the hearts of the "Christians" who want to preserve the sanctity of marriage, and together they take away that right. Now "They" have the power once again.
I have the feeling this will turn into a journal, I just thought I'd share this with everyone else since it makes me so sick. Hopefully I'm not the only one. Also hope the multitude of pronouns didn't confuse you! ;)

Down with Prop 8!

Eagle Eye

Wow, was such a fantastic movie, and the conversation in Mexi's gave me a lot to think about. It was nice to have a chance to unwind a little, thanks to everyone who came!

The Last Castle

I really enjoyed the movie today in class. Wish all classes were like that. Got to take my mind off my midterms for a while. That was a great POWER movie. Good choice Les. What year is was the movie made??

Cheers to movies in class!!!

Thursday class

I thought i gained a lot more knowledge of what is happening over in iraq because of thursdays class. And also learned a lot about what sub prime is.

Thursday class

In the big picture you really can't blame the western world on hiding as much as possible. You figure theres more teens and young adults who read magazines focused on celebrities instead of the paper. If there was a vote on who is the best musician in north america there would be millions of votes, but why can't people vote for who they think should run the country? Funny how they have impacted our way of life...
