My hugs Are Like Rainbows, You Want One

Alrighty so I just spent the whole day in downtown Toronto, skipping the zombie walk-mind you I DID hug some zombies-handing out free hugs. Purpose? To end violence against women, we got guys to sign as a promise, and women to sign as supporters. Thing is, I realized that people are cold, I'm a 15 year old girl-I'm not going to… Continue

Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel, Analysis of Chapter 6: Better Living Through Chemistry

During the Cold War, India wanted to experiment with a program of sharing land between the government and the people. America also thought that they were in danger of falling to communism.

Like in the previous chapter, the response was for America to launch a

program of food and monetary aid. This caused the native production of

wheat to fall because they could not compete with the US aid program.

In order to keep India from falling to communism,…

Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel, Analysis of Chapter 5, The Customer is Our Enemy: A Brief Introduction to the Food System Business

While Chapter 5 of Stuffed and Starved is called The Customer is Our Enemy: A Brief Introduction to the Food System Business, it focuses very little on the customer. I am very interested in the customer's role in this

industry, but Raj Patel's real focus for this chapter is interesting as well. He focuses on the "crony-capitalism" of the food industry. Crony-capitalism are my own words, taken from Ron Paul…

Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel, Analysis of Chapter 4, A Cry for Bread

Chapter 4 of Stuffed and Starved is about how governments use abundance of food to prevent civil wars and insurgencies from their poor citizens. The British and American governments feared that if people went hungry for too long, they would turn to violence and throw an uprising.

Before I get into the main argument, I want to point out that Haiti is pulled out as a minor example that I don't discuss in my analysis here. It appears that Haiti has long gotten a bum rap. Like Mexico, we… Continue

Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel, Analysis of the Chapter 3, You Have Become Mexican

Chapter 3, You Have Become Mexican, is about the relationship between Mexico and the United States, specifically about the poverty in Mexico and its causes. Most American's would think that it is the Mexican's own fault that they are poor, with their corruption problems in government, drug lords, and lack of America's natural business savvy. Raj Patel makes a strong case that the real problems with Mexico actually lie in America, even in some of our attempts to help Mexico.

When we… Continue

What is going on in my head?

I'm not myself today
I don't know who I am
But I know I'm not myself
I feel like SCREAMING
The words thoughts in my head jumble
Twisted intertwined
Changing morphing
Into someone something
I don't know
I float I watch
I can see myself changing
For I'm not myself anymore
I'm something someone new
Never before seen
Different but the same
Changed but never changing
Never the same
Yet never different

First Blog Post!

As you may have figured out, this is my first blog post. I think this is rather exciting actually, finally getting to connect with all my secret siblings. I have watched all the Vlogbrother videos currently on Youtube. It took 10 hours. Anyway, I have created a Vlogbrothers video exactly identical to 50 jokes in 4 minutes except for the fact that I am female. Ah well, there really isn't much I can do about that. I would just like to quickly add that I am online at many hours, every day, and I… Continue

I Watch New Moon Movie = 2 Thumbs Down

I have a 13 year old daughter who read the Twilight Saga books. You wanted so badly to see the movie New Moon. I have heard of the movie through TV commercials but never got a chance to see what it was rated. I went to WatchMoviesSite.com and decided to watch the bootleg version for free just so I'll know what type of sex, violence or cursing was in the movie. I also wanted to watch it to see why she was so obsessed with it. Granted I love Vampire Ware-wolf movies but after watching New Moon I… Continue

Free Market Approach to Health Care?

With John's last video promoting a "Free Market" approach to health care, I thought I would present my alternative Free Market approach. This is a presentation from Clayton Christensen to college students at MIT, but it shouldn't be too hard to follow. That said, it is a lot denser and longer than John's video.

The "Customer Problem" in Government Spending

This is a follow up to my previous article on Taxes and Spending

Keynesian economic analysis looks at the economy as a series of money transfers between entities. With each transfer of money, there is a corresponding transfer of goods or services so that resources are now distributed slightly more efficiently. This analysis tends to ignore gifts, I think, which I am fine… Continue
