Do you ever feel like there is ever just too much? I don't know where to start. Or what I can do from my dorm room. I was told tonight that I need to pick a cause, but I can't. And really I don't think I need to.
Here is something I don't understand. Factories in the 3rd world pay their workers horrible wages. What we are always asked is, "would you be willing to pay more for a shirt that you know was made in beter conditions?" This question avoids the issue. The problem is the insane profit being pulled down by the corporations. The price to us could stay the same, workers could get payed fair wages, and decent working conditions- but the profits would have to decrease. That is where the problem lies, in the huge and ever growing gap between the rich and the poor.

I am finding lots of places that I want to apply for this summer, hopefully I won't have to end up in a shitty city job this summer.

Childhood was good today, it's about time. Actually all my classes went well today, I am actually getting all there "discourses". Or, at least according to one of the TA's.
I have more rants, but I don't think anyone wants to hear any of those.
