Dean's Cocktail Party and Position on Welfare
Went to lunch with the Science and Technology Law Club. Pan Asian food. Not my favorite. Welcome relief from constant pizza though. I heard some very interesting professors (including one who wants to do away with property rights) and did some advantageous networking. Tried to get the Kaplan people to pay me in the afternoon. They aren't returning my calls. Sooner or later I'll make them rue the day....The Dean's cocktail was at 6 PM. I took a short nap beforehand instead of going to the gym. Not sleeping is pretty exhausting. Had some drinks and hors d'vors and socialized with lots of random people. Tried convincing a Catholic there are no souls and that we live in a materialistic universe. He walked away looking very confused when I finished. I hope I didn't break him :-P After 2 hours of that I went downtown with some friends from South Carolina to watch the presidential debate at the trial lawyers association. More free food and booze. Kerry won hands down. Schmoozed with law students from Cardozo and Case Western. They were awed by our Columbianess. I don't understand that. Whatever. Long subway ride back home. Stopped at Koronets for some jumbo slice action. Wasn't hungry but gave in to the peer pressure. Haven't done any reading today. Very bad.
Wellfare
No one in America should ever go hungry or suffer from exposure to the elements. Rewarding families for having more children by allocating funds based on family size is a mistake. A public works program putting the homeless and or unemployed to work on community projects such as road construction, park beautification, and environmental cleanup would help solve some of these issues.
