I Swear I Was Going To Read...

Cover just a little more of Booker T. Washington's Biography...

Assigned readings are generally pretty drab. Atleast theres the excitement of considering Booker T as some mild form of reverse race trader. Where in his efforts towards a functional or vocational educational system for recently freed African Americans was in fact a betrayl in a sense of his race. Leading them to a life of inferiority; socially, economically, and politically.

Theres always that.

But, with the twelve minutes that remain before an "optional" review session for the Geology lab midterm, I choose to do this.

I've been having these grand little concepts of recent, considering those matters larger than myself, in some form of recreational distraction from my day to day reality. Perhaps, in a sense to keep myself from actually considering my standing, or to make myself feel more important than I am.

All of which are possible, but most likely not all that probable.

It seemingly ties back to my concept of responsible citizenship, and that which it entails. If I'd not expressed it here previously, it's the concept that as a citizen we are all individually personally responsible for staying informed about the current political and social occurances in the aggregrate. Interesting concept, but again, perhaps just a way to make "news junkies" like myself more comfortable with the time spent in those sort of matters.

I'm going to steal away five minutes from this, before the review starts, to have another smoke.

So, till next time,
