I'm feeling a little smug, someone had a go at me and called me judgmental a few days ago for saying Serena Williams has no class.
Well lookee see!

Have any interest in telling me that I always buy winning lottery tickets?

I was going to complain about how boring my sociology class is right now, but something my professor said caught me. He said that those who serve in the military are not serving their country, that is a preposterous notion; they are serving the interests of those who own Fortune 500 companies. And that this is an "unspeakable" truth, people don't want to acknowledge it.
I don't know what to think anymore. Sometimes the so-called "tinfoil hat wearers" don't seem so far off.
This class is depressing. Or, more accurately, life in this society is depressing.

PLEASE refer your professor to me. I would love to rip into him about the military. I hate when people think that way. I gave 8 good years to make a difference. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH.

You're saying he's wrong? How do you know?
Nobody joins the military with the intention of serving the big corporations. You join to serve. It's not a statement about the people in the military, it's a statement about the politicians who decide where that military force is used, and more often than not, it's used to defend the interests of big corporations (oil being the most notable example). That's what the professor was trying to say. Nobody is disrespecting the military, just politicians.

Glad you found the other two. It's so easy to misplace things, isn't it?
Yes, very.
I found the others underneath some couch cushions... I really need to keep better track of myself.

yep, i did it for the adventure
it was a much more interesting entry-level job than working at McDonald's
which, if i'm not mistaken, is a Fortune 500 company

another unspeakable truth is that academia is as much in the back pocket of the rich & powerful as any other institution
where does he think the money for his salary and the new library, etc, came from?
universities don't bring in THAT much in tuition

Sometimes, there are things that happen to me that I think are just pure coincidence. But are they REALLY just coincidence? Is there such a thing as fate/destiny? Or am I just doing something that makes those things happen to me? (No, I'm not referring to any negative situations in particular.)
