Music: Starsailor - Four to the Floor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Worst. Lecture. Ever.

Holy Crap...I had to go to this guest lecturer for IR Theory...I want that hour of my life back.

I was kinda looking forward to hearing this guy give his talk, because it was billed as a talk on political economy. From the neo-Marxist perspective the speaker had, it sounded like he would have some really interesting things to say. You don't get to hear this point of view very often straight from the horse's mouth, so I looked forward to absorbing what he had to say and comparing it with my own thoughts.

The man was a total clownshoe. I'll bet he's a better professor, but this speech was embarrassing.

He acted like the stereotypical alarmist Marxist with only criticisms and no ideas for how to make things better. And his arguments were full of contradictions. He followed up his point that the United States needs to stop getting involved in the domestic affairs of other nations by saying that the US has not gotten involved enough in the situation between India and Pakistan...GRAH! I'm 20 years old and still in college! I shouldn't be finding holes in your argument!

And then I come home to the "debates." Psh...yeah right. "Debates." It's a 90 minute speech-athon. If they can't address eachother, *then they're not debating one another!* ARH!

Hate...life...
