“…to run for president you have to be either a politician or someone who runs a company…because as an employee you could never get the time off work.”
Right. Very perceptive. I think that for myself and, just guessing, the majority of other students in my class, the idea that it takes quite a lot of time to run for US president isn’t something that needs explaining. It’s a big place and there are lots of people to meet, placate, schmooze and suck up to. The idea that you can hold down a job as a shelf-stacker at Wal-Mart and do that whole ‘national campaign’ thing wasn’t something that I’d ever really considered, but thanks to one lady, I’m not completely sure to never be confused in such a way. Phew!
Haha. Good quote, better because I know who you’re talking about.
I’ve told you about my CIP lecturer before (did you ever track down those notes?) … I’ve started taking notes of some of his sayings as well as his lectures.
Some choice cuts from the Hartley vine:
“International law is a game played by people with nothing better to do.”
“The best solution for Yugoslavia was ethnic cleansing.”
“Give war a chance.”
People who are Euro-enthusiasts are generally thick.”
“This will be a gloomy century - thank goodness I shall be dead for most of it.”
All quotes taken gratuitously out of context.
Choice cuts! Nice ones! I wish I’d managed to get the CIP notes, but even though I looked on the History pages, I couldn’t find it anywhere. I think I’m just doomed to not ever knowing much about the Bosnian conflicts!

I don’t know why but for some reason they want to lock me out of that floor of the building. I hate it when they do that!
Yeah, so though they let anyone within the uni look at some courses, that one, the interesting one, is locked!
That would probably be why i couldn’t find it. After I went to that link and then went upward along the domain path, once I got out of error-message pages, I still couldn’t see your module, even though i know the module code now!
It’s nuts. Perhaps sometime I could bring my laptop in and you could let me download the lecture notes using your id?
Many thanks sir.
