And I’m still waiting…
Instead I got a different owl:
How does IMF conditionality impact economic development?
I don’t think it does actually.
I took Poli Sci 553 this quarter because the politics of international trade is something that I had virtually zero knowledge about prior to the course. I still feel uncomfortable making and defending claims on the subject, but hopefully this paper demonstrates that I know more than I feel I do. I welcome criticism or suggestions for future approaches to material in this area.
The English Bill of Rights, 1689
My first final essay of Spring Quarter 2010! The English Bill of Rights really is an interesting document. It is definitively responsible for shaping British politics as we know it today by establishing Parliament as the supreme governance body of the United Kingdom with all offices of the state responsible to the Prime Minister and his cabinet. The Bill of Rights of December 16, 1689 laid the foundation for present-day British Common Law.

…the scene? It’s a news site. You go there for streams and tours and album info.
1:03
I know you use it so it’s natural for you to want to defend it but I don’t and I have no desire to and probably won’t ever so that’s just my take on it and my reasoning behind it
1:04 1:04
…the movement?
I guess I don’t see the logic in you going up in arms against a news site.

Community Service at Ohio State
Those who plan community service events at The Ohio State University would do well to learn the distinction between “service” and “free labor.”
community service
noun
voluntary work intended to help people in a particular area; intended to be of social use
I have participated in three “large-scale” community service events at OSU, Community Commitment in autumn quarter, the MLK Day of Service winter quarter, and today’s Katchmar Day of Service with the Glenn School. All three of these events have certainly been volunteer work in the sense that nobody forced us to partake and no compensation was offered. However, the tasks I have performed on all three distinct occasions have been work that would have otherwise been carried out by a paid staff person. On one occasions, the work that I did was a way of actually generating revenue. No community service was being done.
Today, the Katchmar Day of Service took me to one of the Columbus Early Learning Center’s day care centers, where we cleaned a building under the supervision of a maintenance man who would have otherwise spent his day doing the work we carried out in a few hours. This isn’t community service, it’s doing somebody’s job for them.
On every occasion service projects have presented themselves to me at Ohio State, they have been of this nature. Nobody in need is being helped and no social needs are being fulfilled; especially when there is profit involved. This conniving use of the term “community service” seeks to do nothing more than capitalize on the idealism of young college students. Therefore, I will no longer be participating in any University proscribed or endorsed service project unless a clear link can be made between performing work and societal improvement. I would encourage those of you who have also been duped to do the same and encourage people organizing such events to be more scrupulous.
American Interventionism as a Driving Force of “Anti-Americanism” Abroad
How American foreign policy garners disapproval and breeds enemies abroad and how we can work within the constructs of our international framework to regain America’s standing in the international community. Enjoy!
Finals: An Update
Monday concluded my final exam for Philosophy 150: Intro to Logic and thus I am done with math-related coursework forever. I do have to take a statistics class, but Political Science 485 should be interesting.
Today I finished up my Spanish 104 exam, it was pretty easy. The two papers that I polished off for my poli sci class have been posted, and I’m going to spend tomorrow morning brushing up on terms and vocabulary for the exam at 1:30. Then it’s spring break!
