Yeah, I figured as much - I just wanted to make sure that was clear. Now you have a better idea what I meant? Huh. Ok. That's probably true, that some writing gets closer than others - in trying to think through examples, however,
Nope, different wedding then. Unless Joey Morrison is marrying the family friend of Halley's, which I suppose is possible. My readings are long but not all that logically demanding, tbh. Like the book we're reading now, Overthrow (the infuriating one) is pretty much just a chronicling of the US overthrowing foreign governments, and the thesis is basically "the US is like the world's biggest asshole, the end." Then there was Clash of Civilizations, which... is provocative. But for tomorrow we're reading Edward Said's response to Clash of Civilizations, which is just lolzy ("Huntington tried to give his argument a little more subtlety and many, many more footnotes; all he did, however, was confuse himself and demonstrate what a clumsy writer and inelegant thinker he was."). IDK man there are people in my class who have never heard of realism as a foreign policy model and thought Huntington didn't give enough credit to "the history of fighting between Islam and the West" when that is like his entire point, and it's just like :(
Errgh... how many things can your grandma make you do? Is this Vegas grandma? I'm sort of drunk, so that's where I'm at right now.
