"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known, don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone."

Stuff

It started off well enough, I suppose. I had even come prepared for the 1st Model U.N. meeting of the year, with a graphic from the New York Times website, and an article from the Guardian. By the end of 4th hour Journalism class, since I was among a number of volunteers to write pieces for the student paper, I was going to write about how the start of the year went for the club.

Low and behold that I was the only "regular" to show up. Supposedly because they "didn't know who'd be there." It was a little disappointing. There sure were quite a few freshmen, though. I don't know if many of them will stick around. I imagine Joe won't like them cause 6 out of 7 of them are black (j/k). And I didn't manage to get any quotes, it was just discouraging not having the other regulars -- the meat of the group.

As for political affiliations of the newbies, I have no idea. The simple and flawed assumption is that they're all liberal, which would be a double whammy in Joe's book (j/k again).

Blah, I'm done for now, I don't want to ramble on uselessly.

To be covered some other time:
- A Pro-Nader article that was really interesting that I stumbled across
- Household dictatorships -- strict parents restricting "god given" freedoms (while they exercise their freedom to "oppress", blackmail, intimidate, and freedom to restrict others freedoms as they see fit)... hm. Maybe I need not go farther than that on the matter ever. Dunno.
