I'm In Uni, And All Is Right With The World

Now if only government was big enough to pay for people to take tertiary education, or at least cover the costs to be paid back later, rather than working ridiculous service jobs (think "price check aisle 1, grocery, price check aisle one"), and still stuck at home leeching off your parents cos you're saving money to escape this drudgery and flitter off to your wonderful girlfriend somewhere on the other side of the world. such is life- I'll probably have more interesting things to say as uni goes on, because i'm getting to look at interesting things rather than reading airport trash (not that there's anything wrong with harry turtledove, just won't save the world with his insights into the human condition on Tosev 3 compared to that of space lizards)-

But before i rush off to another 9 hours in air-conditioned hell, I'll say that Joseph Stiglitz is ace, and i'm loving the interesting portrayal of the IMF and World Bank he gives in "Globalisation and It's Discontents" - He's won a nobel prize in economics, and it's not like they give the things away without some serious work being done.

until tomorrow,
this Beatniks' Gonna Fly
