i dont know what made me remember this day in school here, but:
i remember the unit in sociology where we were learning about the different indigenous tribes in ecuador. my classmates were supposed to get first hand information. learn about the odd customs and how silly it is that these people STILL carry on this way (ha ha ha, dont they know there are washers and dryers now) the teacher said, "i want you to get real. learn something. talk to these people." but my classmates were confused. locked within their electric fence mansions- they had no idea where to go. the teacher said, "i want you to go talk to your employees. talk to the your maids and your drivers. talk to the cook, the pool boy, and the night guard. i bet you've never asked."
