This blog is a result of many students wishing to delve into topics lightly discussed due to curricular demands but would like to investigate further. I am fortunate to teach students who want to challenge conventional wisdom and seek further discourse as a way to empower themselves to help shape the world they live in.

Now this is funny but with meaning...
I love satire (especially in song) as satire uses humor while making a point. What point/s are being made with this tune and btw, if you don't recognize the tune, it is a spin off American Pie...here it is.
My one big question about this is that, if the Americans are doing so badly in their economy, why are they still making purchases in other countries? Like for example, Tim Hortons? Where could they be recieving the money to even make the purchase in the first place.
This truly represents America well. Sad, but oh so true. Even made me giggle a little. If only they would focus more on trying to fix their economy before contributing to other countries. This is something they should be embarassed about...definately not proud of. If I had personal emails of all political heads, this is what I would send!...but now that I think of it, that's not all I would send!
Couldn't have picked a better song
