And You Say We Are Equal March 21, 2007

Yah, the feminist weighs in! Okay here I go… stop me if this gets to serious or intense for you!
First, what Ingram is talking about by offering percentages based upon what roles women appear in on television should scare you. I notice things like this often, like the shift work commericals for employment really calling [...]

I woke up one day and was boring March 15, 2007

I think I got boring over the years. I know that I am not that old but I feel boring. I seem to have lost my sense of adventure and I don’t think people like me as much. I don’t seem to have exciting things to talk about, really. I like rodents. Hmmm i think [...]

Music – Favorite Pick March 8, 2007

I really liked the different types of music that were played last night, especially The Mountain Goats. I must admit I don’t like Halliluah, but I am a Leonard Cohen fan. Very awesome class.
I think my all time favorite song would be Milk – Kings of Leon but I must admit I am a big Peaches fan. [...]

Freelance Conscious-Raiser March 5, 2007

Ignorance is bliss, no doubt about it. I have always been a socially conscious person, my father made sure we knew that the underdog was always the person we stood up for. I remember always being the one who stepped in on the school ground and sticking up for others, it was normalized in our house to do that. [...]

Childcare Debate January 26, 2007

Like an idiot I decided to wear my 4 inch heel boots (as I cannot find my flats) to school for the women’s scholar presentation (how I ironic, I know) and now I am bound to the top of the university for sore feet reasons.
The presentation was absolutely reviting; it was on childcare. Now, I [...]

Ethics in Capitalism? January 24, 2007

Obviously I am not big on capitalism, as it is based on the exploitation of others and then packaged and called ‘free enterprise’ (if by free you mean no moral or ethically obligations, then yes, free is a good word)
I have beef with copyright, but more so beef with those who are fighting to keep [...]

Bourdieu, I bet you secretly liked pork & beans! January 18, 2007

Just a little unclear about what this means…
“This predisposes tastes to function as markers of ‘crass’. ” – 2nd paragraph on http://www.homme-moderne.org/societe/socio/bourdieu/distinct/introUK.html 
I am thinking it is saying that the amount of education a person has will dictate how much taste they have, which functions as a social marker. Any thoughts? Is this something we can [...]

GRRRRR January 17, 2007

I wrote this huge awesome blog and the machine ate it! i am so frickin mad! and the irony is the blog was on fighting cynicsm! Cheers to cynicism – now I can feel justified in saying that! And oddly a little bit better…

IS ANYONE ELSE CREEPED OUT BY THAT QUOTE? January 17, 2007

Ummm kinda creepy:
When fascism comes to America, it will come in the form of democracy.
–Huey Long
On the subject of Discourse used in Disciplines (medical, legal, sociological Etc) to yeild power, I think the internet has really stuck it to the ‘professional elistism’ we know. The internet has allowed knowledge to become quite simply accessible… I can [...]
