Warning: Imported from old college This post was moved from an older website hosted on a college server. These have been unedited and contain many mistakes. But, whatever.
In the Chinese language, the word for teacher (on the left) is composed of two words lao shi. Lao meaning old, shi meaning master or teacher. On the right, the word for lawyer is composed of lu (top) for law, and shi (the same character on the left).
The conception of a lawyer in the Chinese language has a strong connection to teaching the law and being a master of the law. The second character is interesting to note that both are considered masters and teachers. Perhaps my conception of being a man learned in laws is to teach the law for the general public, versus the unfortunate perception that lawyers are a opportunistic and horrible class. I see a natural connection, then, to be a high school teacher at the end of all things. As I have always said, I'll go into the field of law then at the end of all things, I will be a high school or middle school teacher.
Although my direction is laid down, I have been considering going to public policy school before I go on to law school. For example, I have been thinking about the Kennedy School of Government, or Columbia University's MPA in Environmental Science and Policy. Since my interest is in water resources management and water rights, I was hoping that an MPP or MPA could help increase my understanding of water policy. However, if I receive admission to a great law school, then that will be it. Sometimes admission to a law school, without the best undergraduate LSAT or GPA, is dependent on the work experience and degrees that you have under you. In this respect, an applicant becomes more marketable and shows that their pursuit of a law degree combines with their previous experience. So, we'll see how the MPP, JD, or MPA may help.
CO Politics and Politics in General It would seem that CO House district 23 is a Dem seat. Great job. Rep. Scott McInnis, is just hilarious, by keeping it all in the family. Oh man, in Colorado the Republicans have a definite tough time regaining their election reputations. The last comment on elections and politics is that the Democratic party faces a tough decision. Much like the one this city found itself in...
- Create a liberal base, which favours socially liberal policies. The liberal base could consist of many things, but many polls have shown that it would be primarily, those who are a socially liberal base.
- Move to the right. Become more socially conservative. Fight with an agenda of economic liberalism, such as the use of the welfare state, and become socially moderate. Preach the social gospel.
I would say: WAIT. Wait, for the next generation that is socially liberal and economically conservative. Nobody wants their taxes raised. Everybody does want a part that focuses on effective solutions in the three E's: Education, the Economy, and the Environment. We can still be hawkish on defence, but not belligerent, and in order to keep our base, we will be socially liberal because the government has no right to poke its nose into other people's business and tell them what they can or cannot do. Therefore, the ideas of justice, equality and liberty will still be upheld by the party. These ideas are not exclusive to the Bible and in fact, are upheld through the Bible. It is important, therefore, to change our rhetoric to mirror what is fundamental to me and and all Americans, our belief in a higher power, and a greater good.
