Psychology class thus far, taught by one "Rex" Johnson (any man over the age of 70 who insists that you call him "Rex" must be cool), is shaping up to be pretty nice. My two history classes, taught by the same guy, aren't really shaping up to be anything yet since he's only running through the basics of studying. Fortunately, he's letting me skip out on the second class since he's teaching the same thing (hence my being here typing this), which is nice to know. Oddly enough, it seems as though he's developing a habit of wearing a matching coat and hat to class everyday: yesterday, he wore a tan trenchcoat and a tan fedora, and today he's wearing a black leather jacket and a leather cabby cap. Strange, yes, but it's the strange things that keep it all fresh.
My partner-in-crime for this whole independent media club thing at DC3 has yet to get back to me, but, hopefully, that will change soon. Among other things, I'd really like to set up voter registration booths here to at least streamline the process and to encourage people to vote... we'll see how that goes.
Also, WTF, mate? (Straight) Marriage programs for low-income couples?
Wade F. Horn, the assistant secretary of health and human services for children and families, said: "Marriage programs do work. On average, children raised by their own parents in healthy, stable married families enjoy better physical and mental health and are less likely to be poor."
It's also pretty obvious that children who live in a low-income household who receive a better education, regardless of the gender of their parents, are going to enjoy better physical and mental health and are less likely to be poor when they grow up. God forbid, dubya, that you shuffle off that $1.5 billion of tax-payer money to inner-city schools to prevent those children from being left behind. Jeesh.
Anyway, things that need doing, people that need seeing.
