ill make it public, since i saw it on brigett's livejournal and i kind of feel like i SHOULD say something, so.
i did not know sarah had 2 kids already -- i wasn't informed of this until monday night's meeting. had i known, things may have been different. nia's thing was not supposed to get talked about period. the person who had originally chosen nia wasn't quite sure of her pick yet, and i had told jessie that the choices (at olive garden) weren't final yet. after the candle game, they were. somehow it must have gotten out before the candle game or something. it was nothing against nia.
as far as choosing in general went, we as a pledge class didn't quite know what was going on. no one explained anything to us very well. all we heard was, you get to pick moms. no one elaborated, except for, someone should really pick krystal. and someone did.
we were under the impression it was someone you really got along with...and thus, the choices were made on that principle. i really loved everyone i met, i did not not like a single person in the group. i think everyone had amazing qualities and it WAS really tough to choose someone for a mom. EVERYONE got talked about in regards to who we'd choose. EVERY PERSON was mentioned, ohh she'd make an awesome mom, or she's so neat..etc. Not a single bad word was made. we kept saying over and over how difficult a choice it was.
i would have been happy choosing anyone as a mother. my choice came down to who i got to know the most and who i got along with best as of the time we chose.
the idea of it being a popularity contest kind of made me sad. it was absolutely nothing of the sort -- it was incredibly hard picking mothers! every time we as a pledge class got together to talk about it, everyone was so unsure of who to pick because we really liked everyone, as i said before. in the end, it came down to who we spent a lot of time with and got to know well and who did the same for us.
we pledgies absolutely and honestly loved every last one of the rhozes. the stuff we said we meant with 100% sincerity and honesty and even those people who didn't get kids are adored and would be wonderful mothers to any of us and any kid in the future!

what new has happened? had my midterm today which was not that terrible. i know i messed up explaining something but i'll still get at least half the points, which doesn't bother me.
it wont stop snowing. this school blows at putting down ice so you dont fall and kill yourself. it sucks a lot cos it's all hills so the falling down and killing yourself factor is HUGE.
megan's coming to see me this weekend! We were going to go out to south dakota and have fun but i think we're just going to drive saturday, weather permitting.
uhmm.. i have my entire research paper needing to have a rough draft soon so i can have her look at it and that fun stuff. i need an A in this course. grrr.
spending my day in my warm room with tea and paper writing and some comforting music. no obligations till 4 pm. :) nothing else exciting.

ok, i never rant about politics but i have something bothering me, a lot stemming from what ive actually learned in this class. first of all, the class i am in is AMAZING. What i have learned is unparalleled.
but anyway.
Bush signed the anti-tariff law on steel, to take place in march of 2005. so, let's look at the positives of this. 1. cheaper steel. 2. China won't decide to not ship food to us
The initial reason this anti-tariff idea was brought up was because China threatened to not ship us food anymore. Now, China exports to us VAST amounts of food -- without china, we would be without a good deal of the apples we eat, the rice, and i could name you about 15 other things that are DAILY eaten.
With that threat, globalized farmers (those who produce for the global market -- ie: the Grimmley farm in the San Juaquin valley in CA where over 50% of the Carrots in the world are produced on one farm, and the farm next door produces 40%. This food will be shipped to Chicago to be sent to warehouses to be sold to contractors, namely ConAgra foods, who will sell to grocers, etc. . . I can go on, but this is sufficent) went to the government and said, hey if we lose China, we're screwed. So, Bush (whom, i believe started it. if not, i stand to be corrected...) decided hey, let's not get ourselves screwed so let's repeal the tariff.
in repealing the tariff, now those in America who were protected steel workers -- something which is UNLIKE the food industry, where America small-farmers are being fucked over like mad because they are unprotected from the global market -- are going to be in that same position. since importing the steel from china is ultimately cheaper than the steel produced here, steel workers here will lose mega money. MORE money than is already gone.
Areas like LeHigh Valley have lost a lot of steel income. in losing this income, comes the loss of jobs, no money coming in to the area and to the country. The economy goes down -- and it will -- because steel is such a daily commodity. by importing, America will lose BILLIONS of dollars and thousands upon thousands of jobs. The same scenario which occurred in areas like Timbertown, Oregon with the lumber jacks will occur nation wide...people will be struggling until their death.
It is not surprising to know that farmers have the highest rate of suicide in the nation. Why? Globalization has displaced SO MANY from their jobs and instead of being the family which "lost the farm and the family tradition" suicide occurs.
It would not surprise me if this happens in the steel industry. In two years, I dare you to look at the suicide rates and see them becoming comparable to the farming industry. Steel workers come from communities of workers, come from families of workers.
Once again, this proves to be Bush's one sided, overly capitalistic approach to America because China threatened us.
It is suffice to say even if China did cut off from supplying us, we would be better off! The small time farmer would have more market, would thrive, and the economy would be huge.
In Blackhawk County, Iowa, they did a study on buying local food (from small farms within a 50 mile radius, i believe, maybe more than that). If every family spent 10 dollars a month on local food -- WHICH IS NOT DIFFICULT -- over 2 millions dollars recirculates in the county PER MONTH. Keeping money in the area recirculates it 3-12 times on average. If we didn't back down to China, imagine how much more money our country would have!!! If one county can do that much, imagine an entire nation. The commodities we get from China are all things we can grow here! Apples are grown in SO many areas!
And thus, OUR PRESIDENT IS AN INCOMPETENT, UNEDUCATED BASTARD who is fucking us over for years to come.
*
When I finished this, I thought back to a conversation I had with Jeff earlier about Capitalism and realized ... he's right. This system sucks.
So basically, I don't know what I want to get out of this other than anger...but if you CARE about your economy -- buy steel from America and buy local food! Go to a Farmers Market once a month and spend 10 bucks. The food is better, fresher, you know where it came from, and the men who really need the money are getting it.
