Another piece of advice–avoid classes with visiting professors. They tend to be less committed.

Hi, Rachel. I’m still a big fan of my best student ever.
Keep on writing. I’m proud to have been your math and science teacher in 2004. Best of luck in all of your future endeavors. As for Spanish cuisine, I love it. But, then again, I love German, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Korean, Thai, French, Japanese…

Comment on China’s one-child policy widens the gender gap by Tony

Tony — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:52:45 +0000

While the issue is real, the article is clearly schlok. Want “solid proof”? See the sentence… ” But Johnson says there is no solid proof that the family planning policy had boosted the economy of China. ”

There is never “solid proof” of anything in economics or social sciences. There was never “solid proof” of global warning (which now looks like a scam), and despite the consistency of the theories and evidence, there is no “solid proof” that high taxes harm the economy or that high minimum wages reduce employment of the marginally-employable.

Comment on Musical maturity means bringing back the punk by John

I just stumbled across this article by googling “western mass punk” and I could not agree with the last sentence more. That being said, please do not lump all of MA in with Western MA. I hail from the eastern side of MA and Boston has one of the best Punk scenes ever. Sadly I have relocated to Amherst, the irony being I relocated out here to play punk, (our drummer goes to UMass) and the scene is definitely lacking the angst. I do suggest digging a little deeper, you’ll find some punk but mostly just more hipsters.

Comment on The Politics of: “The Holyoke Confessional” by Sukriti Singh

I agree with this! The Confessional is currently just a hellhole of negativity. I go on it every day, and try to bump the positive threads, or try to contribute positively. I haven’t given up on it, and I don’t think everyone else should either. The Confessional is a MEDIUM, and its tone will always be determined by the dominant material on it.
