<p>no and no.
It was more of a disappointed "oh esquared" and I'm a lady.</p>
<p>oh....I'm sorry, but your sn does not seem very feminine. Or maybe I'm just a male chauvinist pig.</p>
<p>it's french for frolicking.
You're neither chauvinist nor (evidently) french. </p>
<p>Woody Allen is a genius.</p>
<p>He's also quite a dish.</p>
<p>yes, he most certainly is. I just saw zelig yesterday</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to add more than 6 schools to the FAFSA?</p>
<p>What you have to do is wait for the one you sent to get processed. Then go to "correct a processed FAFSA" online and delete all of your schools and put in your new schools. Then click send. Problem solved.</p>
<p>ohhh....well how do I know it's been completely processed?</p>
<p>It usually takes 2-3 days. They'll send you an E-mail. You can also go to "check the status of my application" part of the webpage.</p>
<p>OK, Neverborn, I misunderstood you. I'm not convinced that it's necessarily liberals (I use this in the American sense, not the classical sense) who are against Israel, but as obviously my sphere of experience has a disproportionate amount of Jewish liberals it's certainly possible that my sampling is skewed. </p>
<p>To go on a rant only quasi-related to what's been said, it has seriously disheartened me how much I hear "I don't need to know that stuff, I'm just a public policy person", even at UChicago, where I expected better. Studying here (yes, a lot of economics too) has mostly just served to make me realize that most political plans really don't do what they're meant to do, and much too often people take their values/ideals and figure, "Well, I think things should work this way, and my beliefs tell me they will, so they will." (Though to clarify, the classes don't do that, they give me the tools to understand ramifications a lot better.) </p>
<p>I see this happening on both sides, all the time, and it has seriously discouraged me for being a part of any political movement that has an even slightly large amount of people working for it. I met with one group here for which there are 3 paid staff members in America, and many of the major players in the movement in America gathered here from all over the country for the conference, along with others (including me) who were pretty new. There were about fifty people there total. Including all three paid staff members. This has been the only group I've encountered in a long time that I don't find ridiculous. That link that I sent is so true, and I'll admit that up until about 7 or 8 months ago, it was totally true for me. </p>
<p>I realized that there are few issues that I don't currently find it impossible to identify my opinion on, since if I throw support with either party I'll inevitably end up supporting a plan *that I disagree with, even if it's an *ideal that I do (or a plan that I think may work but an ideal that I don't agree with, which is just as bad). Gay marriage-- that's one. Not really any major repercussions that strike me as valid, and in countries where it's been legalized, the approval of gay marriage by everyone, even if clergymen, has been shown to rise as they realize "Oh, hey, it doesn't completely destroy our society." Almost everything else is just too badly handled or muddled. Often, seemingly fair new laws have unforeseen repercussions (for instance, taking away importance incentives)-- that is, unforeseen to politicians and to the general public, anyway. </p>
<p>Take Econ, and you'll find the textbooks and the professors complaining that economists tried to warn the government that it wouldn't work or would do something bad, but the government wouldn't listen. And yes, even at UChicago, they will say this about both sides. Very, very often. </p>
<p>I'm just kind of finding it entirely impossible to identify myself as anything right now, which as a former liberal activist is rather distressing to me. I think a lot of people at the UofC are in the same boat. Once you really start thinking and understanding the real cause and effect and factors in play, it becomes really really hard to put yourself behind any political party or large cause. </p>
<p>At least, it has for me and a lot of others here. :P</p>
<p>I believe this point is also reflected in this article:</p>
