"To be human is to live not in a world of things, but in a world of the meaning of things"- Lee Thayer


Very true. I got this from one of my professors. I just want to share my thoughts and what this means. The world is filled with things that are just there. They are later labeled and given a meaning by humans. What is a cat if it's not given the name "cat"? If not given a label, does it still exist? Of course it does. Names are given for social meanings, they don't actually determine what it is.

America

So today is the day when another lier gets sworn into office. Outstanding. Historical day, all that other good stuff. Moving on.


America? oh yea, America.

they're making way too big of a deal out of all of this and Obama in general. What has he done to be heralded as anything more than another politician; a lying, deceiving, bullshitter who will do anything to have his approval ratings up. He's a failure until he proves himself otherwise, all politicians are. And what is this "Time magazine person of the year"? what is this shit? what has he done? Ok, he was elected president. give the award to the people that voted for him, or the propaganda of the media who made him come out as the perfect person. If he stops fighting in the middle east, maybe consider giving it to him. It's a slap in the face to a lot of people because there were a lot of great people in 2008 who did a lot of great things but they get overlooked because Obama lied...I mean, got elected president.
