| | Today has been interesting. Apparently, the paper I want to write for Intro to Writing is "hokey." I'm writing it anyway. :oP
And the debate yesterday... ugh. Half of the argument was that Roberts
is "white and male," and the other half was that he's "against
affirmative action." Bascially, they want a black, liberal female. I
think if that's the best they can come up with, they should just
concede now. I mean, good grief! I thought we weren't supposed to look
at someone's color of skin. Guess that just means it only matters if
they're white. Also, being against affirmative action just means that
Roberts is level-headed, at least in my book. ;o) I liked one of the
analogies used... the liberals kept bringing up how judges are like
umpires, so Roberts would be biased unfairly towards one team/side. The
conservatives countered by reminding them that umpires can't decide to
"level the playing field" by giving the worse team four strikes or some
such thing... they follow the rules of the game and don't make any new
ones up. That's the kind of judge I want.
And, now that that's out of my system... ;oP
Katie has me obsessed with Phantom music. My roommates will probably want to beat her over the head after a week of it...
