SGA gave me an odd feeling yesterday. Near the end, there was a senator who came up to speak. What he spoke of was unimportant, but he wanted a constitutional amendment. All throughout the discussion, the "leaders" were subtly steering the discussion back to their point of view and their opinion. "We need a decision to do this now." It unnerved me. If they can be this manipulative with the petty issue we were presented with, they probably would be manipulative when it came to something important. This troubles me.

Discrete was a chore. I spent till 1:30 writing a long and rather obnoxious proof. I think it'll fly, though. Now all I have to do is do my Chem work and I'm set.

Welcome to politics, ever watch C-Span?

Trust me, ignorance is bliss!

This is what is commonly referred to as politics.

From "The Devils Dictionary":

POLITICS, n. A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of
principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
