Thanks for the info, Nerdylation, I greatly appreciate it! Medi*: Easiest fix I see for this is to get nerdfighters into positions where they can change the price of things which should be possible if all they're doing is increasing the price to in…

NOTE*** This was written before Sunday in which the White House has hinted at backing down on the mandatory part of this plan... now, it's an option... so good one on that. but Medicare still sucks.

Hello! My name is Chris, I'm a 1L nerdfighter and I decided to see how many other legal nerds I could find floating about the ning. I just wanted to say hi and tell you that I created a group for us if you're interested in it: http://nerdfighters.ning.com/group/lawfighternerdfighters

oh, it's full of suck; just not quite as much. They do have a responsibility, you know. It's their sworn duty to scare the bejesus out of people.

I don't know what to do. I don't think that anyone else does, either.

Something needs to happen but whether this plan will help it or not is beyond me. I think the boost in spending will help in the short run but the increased debt will damage us for years.

It's scary to think that this has happened. The instinct is to blame but I think it's not going to help. I don't know how it's going to get better.

There's got to be a solution but I don't know what it could be. Last time it was a war and government employment that fixed it. War now is no option. Government employment... maybe. depends.

(insert joking tone and generally fun-loving manner here) How goes it, you dirty republican? How did your Obama paper go over?

Hi there! Just wanted to drop a quick line to say that I hope you are well and I hope you are still enjoying Nickleby.

how would you reform welfare and student loans?

I'd like for public education to be better. I mean, there were kids in my class who couldn't write a coherent 5 paragraph essay to save their lives. Where as I bored out of my head and passive aggressive about it.

I'm not sure I want to put a cap on tuition because that seems to me like it would hinder schools from making money and then no one would want to teach (hey.. wait a minute.. that's already happening!) and we'd be buggered anyway.

Actually, there were probably about 50 people who claimed to be the real Squeers, because even though he was terrible, they wanted fame. (Most Yorkshire schools were like that.)

You're completely right, Nick is such a bad ass. And what's even cooler? he's a 19th century bad ass. And you just can't top that. As far as Smike goes: If anyone ever says that they don't hope for the best for that poor little dude, then, I'm sorry. But they have no soul. Glad to see that you enjoy Dickens' writing, or at the very least his characters.

Hey. I saw that you were reading Nick Nickleby by Charles Dickens. Let me know what you think of it! It's one of my favorites.

"Think Healthcare is Expensive? Just Wait Till It's Free!"

Universal Healthcare: It's been a little over 6 months and already this administration has been spending and creating more cost to the taxpayer; but for what?
Someone once said to me, "Any idiot can make things more complicated, but it takes a true genius to push in the other direction." From what I understand, this is what's happening: More government-run programs to help more people. Sure, it's good that the government wants to help people, but why create a whole new system when the ones we ha… Continue

Want a good creep-out? I have one every day and here's why...

Throughout my childhood, I have had small experiences with several ghosts in my parents' house, at my grandparents' house, and at work. Wierd that Orange County CA has that much stuff going on in it, huh? I remember those things so clearly, but my parents just told me that it was my imagination, until recently.

At my parents' house, I remember sleeping with my bedroom door open, and hearing my dad walking around at night up and down the hall. On one occasion, I remember being up, and I thought… Continue

Hail Obama, Full of Grace... psh

The news has been singing like a choir for the past year, about the Savior of our Nation, "Hail Obama, Full of Grace... Blessed art thou among Presidents, and Blessed is the fruit of thy administration." They've made him look like a God that will save Americans from themselves, and defeat the Evil Republicans who have led us into the temptation of the "Last 8 Years." The Church of the American Broadcasting Company (among others) have been preaching the Democratic agenda to millions of Americans… Continue

Witing about Paper Towns

So I wrote this paper on Paper Towns, and after going to Santa Monica, and after listening to John talk about his book, I realized it kinda sucked, and I missed a lot of things. So I'm hoping that this next time around, it will be better. I might post it to a discussion board, and see what corrections I could make to it, or if i can add anything to it. If im going to add anything to it, it's going to be about symbolism. there's SO MUCH MORE than I saw the first time.

But anyway, here's t… Continue
