Welcome...and initial guidelines...

This blog will be used in the spring of 2008 by 80+ students at Drexel University to investigate the effects of Iraq on culture and the reverse. Our goal will be to better understand why the US is in Iraq, and to question whether literature can help us on this journey.

Weekly plans and other materials will always be posted in Vista, not this blog. So go to Bb Vista to get the discussion prompts and other instructions.

I intend this blog to manage our discussions and track our collective investigation.

You should have received an email from me inviting you to become a contributor to this blog. The email was sent Monday afternoon to your official Drexel email address.

blog: 7

Basketball players seem to be more of ganster type image. They all are so physical and egoistic. Whenever I watch any ball game, mostly a player disagrees with the foul that refree has called upon. Mostly, all the players have tatoos all over their body. They seem to think of themselves as really physically strong and no one can mess with them. Like when ever a team is out of playoff contention at the end of the regular season, that particular team's best player(s) don't play the remaining games. I seriously hate when this happens. Either they just don't play, or pretend to get injured. I means players suppose to play for fun and love of the game....right?

They sit out so they don't get a stupid injury that could possibly end their career or next season. It's actually smarter to sit the games that don't matter, like how the all stars for football only play a few downs during the preseason if they get hurt they don't play at all. Its better for the franchise and the player. Injury can void contracts and it would suck to have to pay a player millions to sit on the bench with a cast.
