Civics: Failed Amendments, The Community Center, Wednesday Evening

[glasses-justice.livejournal.com]

Alex looked far more frayed than her usual today; her hair was in a careless ponytail, and her eyes looked like sleep was a distant memory. But the filings Liz had needed were done, and possibly even in time to do some good. Now she just had to fake her way through class and she could go home and climb into bed for a few days.

"I don't have anything prepared," she admitted, without bothering with a pretense. "If you'd like to have a discussion about amendments, or anything else, we can absolutely do that. Otherwise, I brought a documentary about free speech and the first amendment that I thought might make for interesting viewing. I apologize, and I assure you that next week I'll be more competent."

(OCD is coming if LJ stops sucking. So that's a pretty big "if," right there.)

Eat. Have some snacks. Pretend LJ is working.

Discussion - Anything/Everything - CIV204

Anything you want to discuss goes here. If there's no discussion, we can get right on to the movie-watching. Look how flexible class is this week!

Here's that link again (http://bestonlinedocumentaries.com/shouting-fire-stories-from-the-edge-of-free-speech/).

Disclaimer: I have not actually watched this movie, so assume that Alex suggested it as a conversational discussion piece and is not necessarily endorsing any of the possible problematic bits which may or may not arise.

(This disclaimer exists in case the movie suddenly halfway through switches from the first amendment to claiming that the world banks are run by alien lizards who are controlling our brains from outer space. Unlikely, but I like to cover my bases.)

Hey, it only took a half hour, three browsers, and untold abuse of the refresh key to post class and its OCD. Way to go, LJ.

I am riding the afterglow of a fucking amazing U2 concert, so I don't know that I was going to be coherent anyway. ♥

So please have a non-class, and let's all hope things are back to normal-ish soon?
