No lil ho, there will be nothing good soon. Not, at least, until you get out of school. I know when I was in school I became this yucky bullion of what ever I was studying. I tried to communicate with humans, but it was difficult since I didn't even know what was on the news cause I had no time. Nope, you don't get your life back until you get a degree. Maybe not even until you get a job with said degree since your school debt will be so steep Sir Edmund Hillary wouldn't go near it. Ok, I'm done ranting.

sigh!Category: sexy men
[box]we should get married, indeed. we just need to check the prenuptials, then we are all set. i don't consider myself the tragic hero, more likely a picky, independent, being-passionate-about-his-music spoiled only child who hasn't found his match yet. you might call this an awful personality faw. maybe. not. well. anyway.
how do you keep the boys in line? you exude a refreshing sensuality that is quite unique. plus the design. i think you will be good at it.
besides being a happy viola piper, i write (published a book of poetry), drink espresso, love opera, skinnydip in lake zurich in mild summer nights, travel, work in a film club, teach, sing (my everlasting love), dance ballroom, eat fondueduring mid august heat waves, play soccer and read glauser and marquez.
and yes, i need a good cook!
i will serenade you while cooking, though.
what gets you excited in life?[/box]
if he is for real. and i think he is. if not, its what my dreams are made of... i need me some of this man! basically all around what sarah wants/needs in a guy! plus the hotness, but i wont post photos because that makes me more crazy than i already am.
and i wonder, how public is this blog, going to google myself right now...

Freakonomics!Category: books
i know, i know, im like three years behind the loop. but, if you are too, and you havent read this, you need too! now!
it blows my mind. and, i of course give credit to (e:hodown), who suggested i use the book the back up my persuasive speech with info from the amazing book.
speech topic: why pro choice is the only choice that makes sense.
and, (e:paul), i am not obsessed with abortion like you might think. ok, maybe a little. but, when i thought about what i am passionate about, this came to mind. i fully believe in the woman's right to choose, and you will too after you read this book.

Levitt argues that Roe vs. Wade led directly to reduced crime - well, when 20 million babies got aborted I think perhaps thats a very macabre way of determining how to fight violent crime!
Another argument he makes is that abortion has prevented millions of people from becoming poor and unproductive members of our society. That is a highly, highly dubious assumption to make.
He also suggests that swimming pools are less safe than guns for the average person. He is using the same logic and methodology for his other arguments in the book, by the way.
In a way, using this book to defend abortion would be like using Al Gore's movie to defend the premise of global warming.
Sarah I think you need to realize that opposition to abortion isn't necessarily a religious issue at all. Drew didn't bring it up - you did!

I'm happy you found something you are passionate about. Me, I'm Pro-Choice broadly speaking, but support a total ban on PBA procedures like Dilation and Extraction.
The thing about that chapter is that it is so controversial, and not just because of the subject matter. Some time ago, many different economists saw fatal flaws in Levitt's analysis, and of course Levitt dug his heels in and defended his analysis, like a good little academic. Of course, the media attention, his celebrity, along with the desires of retailers around the world to sell the book, won the day.
In the end, Levitt's case became weaker and weaker when put up to scrutiny, but it isn't 100% debunked. I think you should check out some of the competing arguments as part of your research, if not to at least understand what the opposite opinion is - you could possibly come up with a stronger paper.
But, at least his methods and the data are open, for the purpose of debate, and are not a joke - which is something you definitely cannot say for other media-trumped reports people read (think Lancet and Iraq).

I've got no problem with the case that you make in your comment (well, not many, at least), but from what I remember of freakonomics, their work says somethings different.
And, just to make things clear, I did not make any statement (here) about religion.

i disagree. i use it to back up my opinion, because, if i were to get pregnant, along with many other women who are single and not prepared for the emotional, psychological, and social hardship a child brings. it is not fair for unwanted children to be born. look at how many there already are. it would not be right to force me, to bring a child into this world that i might end up resenting, and have my child continue on this cycle. if you take a look at what happened in romania, you will recognize the effect forcing people to procreate causes. and lets face it, some people just shouldnt be parents, but doe that mean they should have to pay for making a mistake man of us make? should they not be allowed to enjoy sex? no, people should be educated about birth control, and sex, and the responsibility sexual activity brings. but, they should also have the option to choose what they want to do with their own bodies. we cannot make this a religious issue, which so many people do. religion does not belong in politics.

I loved this book, but I don't think you want to use it as a pro-abortion argument, because it points out that most of the abortions are performed on "undesireds," who are more likely to commit crimes. This book argues that abortion reduces crime, but at the same time, it makes an abortion look a lot like genocide.

ahh, glad to see the chicken-shit attacks are starting again... I finally had to turn off anonymous post-its last year because of crap like that. Don't let 'em get to you.

what a coincidence! I just sent a card in the mail to remind you of all those things!
anonymous emails like that are so brave.

There's a good review of it here:
:::link:::
I like it... I don't like 'stacks' though- I liked it better the way it was before. Hopefully it's just a matter of getting used to it.
Overall I'm happy with it, but it's not like you absolutely can't live without it, I'd say.
I like it.
Jim loves it.
He knows more about these things though to form a better opinion. So I would go with his.
