The questions which I group together as sex questions have not been party questions in the past. But that was because they were never, or seldom, the subject of public discussion. All this is changed now. There are no subjects about which the big general public is more interested; few which are the subject of wider discussion. They are of the utmost social importance; they cannot help but provoke real and sincere differences of opinion. Some of them are deeply involved in the solution of certain economic questions. I cannot doubt that sex questions are about to enter the political arena. The very crude beginnings represented by the suffrage movement were only symptoms of deeper and more important issues below the surface.
Birth control and the use of contraceptives, marriage laws, the treatment of sexual offences and abnormalities, the economic position of women, the economic position of the family—in all these matters the existing state of the law and of orthodoxy is still medieval— altogether out of touch with civilised opinion and civilised practice and with what individuals, educated and uneducated alike, say to one another in private. Let no one deceive himself with the idea that the change of opinion on these matters is one which only affects a small educated class on the crust of the human boiling. Let no one suppose that it is the working women who are going to be shocked by ideas of birth control or of divorce reform. For them these things suggest new liberty, emancipation from the most intolerable of tyrannies. A party which would discuss these things openly and wisely at its meetings would discover a new and living interest in the electorate—because politics would be dealing once more with matters about which everyone wants to know and which deeply affect everyone's own life.
These questions also interlock with economic issues which cannot be evaded. Birth control touches on one side the liberties of women, and on the other side the duty of the State to concern itself with the size of the population just as much as with the size of the army or the amount of the budget. The position of wage-earning women and the project of the family wage affect not only the status of women, the first in the performance of paid work, and the second in the performance of unpaid work, but also raise the whole question whether wages should be fixed by the forces of supply and demand in accordance with the orthodox theories of laissez-faire, or whether we should begin to limit the freedom of those forces by reference to what is ‘fair’ and ‘reasonable’ having regard to all the circumstances.
Keynes, 1925.

you crafty sumbitch
I think women should be given the right to vote, if for no other reason than if we didn't indulge the suffrage movement, we'd never hear the end of it from our wives.
Real, real weird.

This is Keynes we are talking about.
Problem: One of them might've dropped out and won't actually communicate back with us.
Problematic.

academia in a nutshell
i'd have named it What to [chat] about [sex questions] instead, but eh
Best part: The work is meant for teams of 4 people.

It is a test to see how you deal with working with reduced resources.
Also, a test to see which one of you will throw the absentee member under the bus first.
We're basically gonna tell the prof about it tomorrow...
But it shouldn't be too hard, i'm pretty awesome at schoolwork.

One of the languages sung was Pueblo. They should have just had the entire thing sung in Pueblo for irony's sake.
Every group assignment in the history of school has been completely by fewer people than intended.
Wouldn't the point of that ad (that i didn't see) be that Coca Cola is American, but enjoyed the world over?

Sure, but i have 5 different classes, each with a t least 1 (in some cases 2) big semester assignments.
Like, i don't doubt i could do it, I just think it'll mean I'll have less time to work on other stuff, y'know...
Like, not-school stuff.

you never know
It is a multiculturalism America is diverse sort of thing.
Also it was America the Beautiful and not the National Anthem, which sucks donkey balls so that was a good choice by Coca Cola.
People the world over don't sing America, the Beautiful.
Oh yea, I did not mean it was good or not a big deal.
It sucks and it's terrible and makes me want to smack every teacher/professor for making it happen.
BUT, it's to be expected and in no way surprising.
if there's one thing im know for a fact, i know this woudn't have happened with a white president
i know this like Sarah Palin knows things
i just know
Americans probably think they do.
They're self-centered enough to think that.
Unlike us polite Canadians.

Expected? I think in my post-secondary academic career, it's the first time it happens...
And i've been at it for... 6 and a half years, at least. That's 13 semester! And that's terrible.
