    Mohammad and Dogs

    I had a strange encounter today where my dogs where running open lose at a park at the back of my apartment, and they approached this man, who looked Arabic. The guy started shooing away the dogs, and I told him they weren't dangerous. I felt bad for not having them on their leash, but they are...

    Myspace sued for $30 million:

    This is bull beloved patriot. The parents or the 14 year old girl, not myspace, should be responsible. As a women and a supporter of women's rights, I believe that this just an attempt to get into some deep pockets.

    Depressed about the job market

    It's actually the norm to have a job lined up before you graduate. This helps you get the loans you need to cover your cost for studying for the bar and taking the exam. I am interested in doing litigation or international arbitration, but I have been applying for all kinds of legal jobs...

    Depressed about the job market

    Nothing. That is why it is so frustrating/confusing why I don't have a job. I did well at my summer clerkships, and got good feed back from employers, they just didn't hire everyone they took on. I would love to have an explanation myself, but I don't have one.

    Yes, I clerked at two big firms last summer, but didn't get a job offer. And also worked at the clinic at our school.

    Depressed about the job market

    I am a third year law student, in the top of my class, Law Review (for of you who went to law school), but I still don't have a job. I have heard no so many times that I am thinking about going into something else. To add fustruation on top of it, the Houston Chronicle printed this article...

    Education as a constitutionally protected right?

    How many people think that education should be a constitutionally protected right? By education, I mean all the way up to the end of high school.

    What are the profession(s) that offer no real benefit to society?

    Conceptual artists, which create art that requires an esoteric explanation to understand the piece. What real benefit to people in society receive from some post-modern expression sitting in a museum. The art is not accessible to masses, unless you have a page description explaining what the...

    Forced Voting?

    They actually don't force those 79 and above to vote. Yeah, I don't know what they do to those who are too sick to make it to the polls that day. I'll have to ask my mom.

    Forced Voting?

    What I meant, is whether this is something we should incorporate in the US.

    Forced Voting?

    The Peruvian elections are today, and I found out from my mother, who is Peruvian, that she is required by law to vote in Presidential elections. If she does not, she will receive a $1,000 solos fine and will not be permitted to enter into any legally binding contracts. What do you think --...

    National Day in Support of Immigration Reform

    When I first entered school, I too couldn't speak in English. We only spoke Spanish in my home. The teacher at school told my mom to stop speaking to me in Spanish and only English. My mom ignored her, and because of that I am now bilingual, and have way better job opportunities than...
