You all already know my thoughts about what's happening, so I'll spare you any more of those.
Earlier today I was bopping from bookstore to bookstore, trying desperately to get a book for one of my classes next week (and failing). On the way home, though, I actually passed by a guy holding up a "WORK 4 FOOD SHELTER + CAR REPAIR" sign. That was a painful little reminder about what's really important to this country right now. I only hope people can see it that way come next November.
Oh, and Don: I actually perused through Japanese for Busy People at Barnes and Noble. Piece of advice: when you're reading, re-write all the examples out in kana. The biggest problem people have with learning Japanese (as I've discussed with my sensei) is that if people don't inundate themselves with kana from the beginning, they really can't grasp written skills all that well. Another of the reasons why I still advocate the Nakama books for learning.
