lack of stratification would harm us
according to the article i read yesterday for sociology, inequality is necessary to motivate people. sounds nice. sounds... un-Communist. which is kind of funny (Jordan would say: "funny ha-ha or funny peculiar?" and then i would say: "both") because i was just thinking about Communists. and somehow, any time i think about Communism, it's peculiar and that makes it humorous to me. yep.

propaganda::
an hour ago i was sitting in the lobby of HAL, waiting for SOCI 101 to begin. of course, i had another article that i could have been reading, but instead i was in the middle of a search for World War II propaganda posters. this desire for propaganda came over me when i was in Russian History. i abandoned note-taking for searching for Communist-related posters. this propaganda perusal proved plenteous**, but my theory is:
replicas of Communist doctrine are fairly expensive (for a poor college student), and somewhat depressing to this liberated democratic republic capitalist society loving American.
so,
i turned my fancy toward American propaganda posters. this was also a fruitful forage (okay, i promise to stop the aliterations) and i found out there are a lot of them (also here.) that would be sweet to add to our wall. i mean, i would only get one, but there's a bunch of sweet ones to choose from. right.

in my search, i came across a lot of Anti-War stuff, and eventually found the Propaganda Remix Project. which is even more funny ( = haha and peculiar ). but still, such blatant distortion of current presidential policy from the left within America is almost more saddening than the Soviet regime. just kidding. well, i guess Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, (also the likes of Mao Tse Tung) aren't really anything to laugh about. sorry.

ooh, i just found another sweet link. i'm really on a roll today with the links. speaking of on a roll...i gotta roll outta here. ...more later...
