the first time i touched, and the response, e-mail july 1999.
saddened. i tell people i want to get phd. some of those i tell say, what about the money to go to school? once again money becomes a larger issue than education. this is backwards people! america is greatly dealing with this issue. we put money in front of education! sad!
the great irony of america. there is much stress of being an individual, being yourself. yet at the same time this is layered by thousands of images of image, what to be, what's hip what's not, how to act, how to walk. and when we see individuals they are often laughed at and mocked. interesting how people want to be their own, yet they stick the stereotypes and to the things are are 'in'.
