That sucks :( I'm okay, having a good weekend so far! It's really hot here in the UK so I've been sat out in the garden drinking rum and cola. How's your weekend??
That must be an awful predicament for anthropologists. To have the best intentions in the world and then to have a group of people use the work and twist it into a weapon itself. Dictators used communism to screw things up which probably wasn't Marx and Engels idea but as you say it's apart of many aspects of life, like religion. People like crap on religion for habouring hate and wars, but most of the time religious justification is no more than a masquerade to hide a person's true vendetta or predjudice.
Hey (: Sorry I havn't been on in a while. Family issues.
Back to what we were talking about though...
My favorite subjects in school are English, World History (sometimes), and I am also in Drama. Unfortunately my drama teacher is a fool so I won't be taking his class next year xD.
Ah, well. Everything happens for a reason. I'm hoping to take honors classes next year. Also in my junior year, I plan to take some College classes online (:
So many lovely compliments>.< Oh I remember that! Gawd I miss Shonta, he brought the drama. It's a common misunderstanding, and as long as people say my bad I'm cool. He was pretty cool about it plus I get stuff wrong too so I don't gloat or anything<3 I must come across as a left wing commie nut job to these people. Hey ho even christ wasn't liked by everyone.
I'm studying part-time. Working towards a B.A. with a double major in politics and social anthropology with a minor in development studies. Finally getting the hang of it. Really love my majors and minor. Which is reflected in my book collection. One day I promise to get around to reading it! Although my studies tend to provide me motivation. As of now taking a class on ritual and Belief, so I am reading a few related books on the side.
