Just thought I’d let people know what I’m taking now that I’m choosing my own courses.
Copyright:Â In looking at my classes, especially given that I’m waiting until Spring to take either Tax or Corps, I wanted to have a solid blackletter law class. Having decided on IP, I had to choose between Copyright with Pam […]

I will be breathing again on Friday.
Published October 8th, 2006 in Classes, Friends & Family, Chess, Yale Football and Yale Chess. 2 CommentsI have an LRW memo due on Thursday at 8, and subciting reports for JOLT due on Thursday at 5. I will explain what the subciting reports are later (the memo’s not really interesting enough to warrant an explanation). That is, I’ll explain what they are when I have a chance to come up for […]
Superheroes!
Published October 1st, 2006 in Français, Classes, Friends & Family and Yale Football. 0 CommentsSo, I need to pick a superhero that resembles me in some way. I will be identified as this superhero in torts class and to the 80 other HLSers in my Section (called Justice League). I’ll explain why I “need” to do this either in the comments or in a future post if there’s sufficient […]

Even if somebody is stupid and is voting for entirely the wrong reasons, their vote is something that brings them further into the process. Now they have a candidate’s name in their mind, and […]
Well, I just wrapped up the reading for Voting Rights and Representation, and I have a bit fewer comments about Smith.
First of all, I found that he spent far too much time saying what his focus was or would be and none at all actually justifying it. The only justification for the relevance of citizenship […]
That was incredibly engaging and enjoyable reading (with the one problem of reading the poorly scanned document). Anyway, the link is here. First comment, in reading the introduction, I could not agree more with the following paragraph:
“On the other hand, we could measure our democracy against an ideal (even if admittedly unachievable) standard. I would […]
Just finished reading Sidney Verba’s comments on equality of political participation for class (if you’re wondering which one, note the categories). Anyway, I have comments on both the content and the writing in the article:
