I hope you have a great trip... and enjoy the conference!

Will miss seeing your posts-

Have fun!

I just thought that I would respond to all of your posts that I have read here instead of spreading them out.

First, don't you love the "too good for you professors" who seem to have so much more pressing things on their minds other than teaching you? I love that. I had a professor once who was the Chief of the Osage Nation who insited that "dogs would be good enough food to eat," and that "men would never do something like cry" and then he kicked the woman out of my class that tried to defend the man he was talking to. Fun times.

Second, the political cartoon stuff sounds exactly like what this country was like if you were the one person in the world who dared to say that there probably weren't WMDs in Iraq or that the war might just be a political excuse. Don't feel bad about "shaming" the American name, because believe me, we gave ourselves this assholish reputation. But believe me, when the beginnings of the war started, the nation was just out of control with the ferver to support the prez. Now, god forbid, you actually support the war, because that, too has become a national trend. Politics.

Third, the pictures are really beautiful and serene. There really are some beautiful photos here, and you can post more of them any time. They really are calming, and I hope all is going better now. Talk to you soon...

Are you back yet? How about now?
