Minutes for January 16th
It’s cold. It’s so cold Mike Adams decided
he’s actually coming to the ANM. J/k
It’s so cold that I was forced to hold a
lighter to my beer in order to drink last night.
It’s so cold that stare Mary gives me actually
felt kind of warm for once.
Anyways, I know my minutes have sucked.
However, I’m quite glad that I have your time every week, because
it’s time I started pushing my own agenda. For example, we should
all have little pickles we throw at Mr. Lewis (or Miller if Todd
isn’t there) when ever he says the word Capitalism or Market.
But, we had eight first time guests, one
returning guest (finally)
Ms. Copley spoke about the Sexual Assault
Center
Ms. Hines informed us of street painting being
postponed tonight. However, it’s cold, so if she doesn’t mind, I’m
going to drink a ton of beer and then light my insides on fire, in
hopes of getting 10 minutes of warmth.
Ms. Ramsay said dues are due. So they’re due.
Pay them. Now.
Ms. Winchell announced a Bicentennial committee
meeting for earlier this evening. I had fun. Maybe a little too
much fun.
Ms. Winchell presented a resolution on
mandatory civil service for the first year we get out of school. We
need to be more patriotic.
Copley said "good" in theory; bad in
practice. Lower class folks can’t help only college people
Gallagher asked if we were trying to help the
poor, and if not, then who? We have enough money to pay everybody
who is poor 12K/yr; drafts are bad and this is a draft;
Mathes said this resolution is attempting to
unite a divided and diverse country
Lerner said that resolution is good because it
is trying to improve America. Compulsory is bad though. CS
employees need to be provided for, which is expensive. CS is not
the best way to promote the US; will CS make happy employees? 1)
Jobs be done by paid workers 2) use education instead of
volunteerism.
Cull forcing isn’t volunteering. No choice in
jobs. Incentive to fight war
None to do CS; resolution too costly
Moulds said this helps for a more American
America and 9-11 has become a memory CS won’t bring us back to the
50s
Hines likes the resolution and related her
positive experiences in volunteer work
Smith 1) What are we acting towards?
Increase abroad perception? CS won’t help 2) Helping poor
Peery Funding isn’t the issue; We don’t a lot
of things b/c we have to; we can shape values; we should think
beyond economics
Nunez we should be helping people; we should
set limits; Is this a punishment? There are those dedicated to
volunteerism
Parker no equalizing force in America; how to
share experience; this will equalize people
Webb mkt won’t be flooded b/c only a few would
work at a time
Grosse problem is that the resolution is
against itself in that it is forcing people to volunteer
Lewis against 1yr in CS is yr not in college;
time is inelastic; 18yrs are useless
Addison-Government imposed bad; have pvt
sector do this
Fails 9-17
Addison says he doing speed or Coke, which is
good; and he says it is greater to strive than to accept who you are
Copley says we should be happy with
ourselves. Isn’t that special?
Webb says nothing matters and strives to do
better out of guilt
Lewis- we should do both!
Cull- world is about self-actualization
Hines- it’s always better than x so be happy
with yourself
Parker- striving for good is better; nothing
wrong with striving; good goes out window
Prabhakar- good is an individual thing
Grosse- we won’t be perfect so stop trying to
be
Skrmetti- acceptance makes lazy; there is no
plateau; we’d be nothing if we didn’t further ourselves
Smith- we must accept ourselves before moving
on
11-7 passes
Epps- porpoises are bad…monkeys might kill us
and dolphins too
Lewis monkeys would spank us!
Patton- they’re trying to help us; what about
Curious George and Flipper?
Addison- is a Fox watcher, so we should ignore
him essentially
Cull- Water and forests [the homes of dolphins
and monkeys] are ruined by companies
Miller- through stuff about monkeys and so
forth I didn’t understand it at all
Passes 11-10
Lewis he does the things he’s good at at least
once a day; wants to start giving prepared speeches
Ballou good idea; not a new idea
Peery- no reason not to
20-0
