An Actual Sociology Question
This one comes in from a friend. It was a homework question.
"If the structuring forces of capitalism (however disjunct) were implicated with those of colonialism (however hybrid), and if the deterritorialization movements of anti-colonialist sentiment and early decolonization emerge concomitantly with the revolutionary, anti-capitalist destratifications of Marxian social systems and state communist regimes, how and to what extent are the transnational fluctuations of diasporas and diasporized nation-states inextricable from the neocolonialist reterritorializations of global capitalism (such as free trade agreements, world financial markets, and the international divisions of labor, production and profit)? "
Sociology, making the obvious tedious.

The Rubber Room
Joel Klein vs. New York City teachers : The New Yorker
Incredible. I've heard rumors about the "Rubber Room" for a while, but I never knew it actually existed. Wow. It's easier to go to jail for murder than it is to be fired as a NYC teacher. Incredible.
Here is an AP blurb about it too.

Jobless NYC woman sues college for $70K in tuition
Jobless NYC woman sues college for $70K in tuition - Yahoo! News
Will she win? Probably not, but I support the concept wholeheartedly.
Why was it easier to get a loan for my car? And why is the loan RATE for my car a full 2% lower than my student loans? I'd return my education in a heartbeat if I could.

More than half can't find heart on body diagram
Survey: More than half can't find heart on body diagram - CNN.com
Thank goodness I stayed awake in class, and I know that the heart is located 3 inches below your navel. And your spleen is in your neck.
