above and beyond

So while i was pondering the fact that my path did not turn out to be that of smarmy intellectual, 2 things happened todya.

Firstly, we had a library scavenger hunt, and throuhg som every fortuitous events, we woudn up using a book from teh faculty library. As in we were in the faculty library, or as davison our ta say s"the inner sanctum". It wa shte most gorgrous site ever, like a holy temple that makes on fall to their knees, it was the dark wood leather bound orgy of my dreams....with free coffee!!!!


Next, as much more important, i went to a lecture yesterdya by geoff stone, some guy i had never hear d of who is a visitng profressor an dused to be dean of the chicago law school. I went ot the talk because it was no vietnam and the way our governemtn treated dissenter. The talk was ok, more history than paralells to current situations, but he did tell me about how the governemtn would inform local police about anti war supporter and then the police woul give them speeding tickets as a form of subversive repression.

Anyways., today im reading the new york adn theres a talk of the town article about the ACLU's lawsuit against the patriot act and who its censored fromt eh public. *redacted*. anyways, the second half is basically all quote from geoffrey stone. From his office at NYU. Sick.
