Black Math

Before I start this, let me get this clear. I have read very few blogs. This is my own thing. It will only get better because this first post is a little rushed. Please do comment (anyone can). This is a hate free zone.

"That's not Constitutional!"
I feel like I am not the only one with a friend that says that. This is one of the more ignorant trends out there. Have you read and studied the Constitution? The more I read documents from the Founding Era, the more I realize the ignorance of the average American. The biggest shock I have come across in college is not being independent or experiencing "new things." It was finding out most people hate Political Science. This wasn't comprehendible to me (PoliSci Bias) because there are few more important topics that are relative to every person. It seems the general consensus is, that not only is it a hard class, it combines science with critical thinking. You have to know all the material AND how to apply it. To me, that is why it is so wonderful. After reading Freakonomics (must read) and Superfreakonomics (double must read), I realized the education is only good if you can create something new out of it. The most successful people to me have created something, whether an idea, invention, business, or principle. The great part about political science is the room for creation. The worst part about political science is the people. The point is:
1. Don't be ignorant; educate yourself.
2. Don't follow public opinion- "Much Madness is Divinest Sense" (Emily Dickinson FTW!)
3. Don't Live on Northside

Math 141
As far as how school is going....things are good. A's in all classes. So why the title Black Math? Math is the most futile subject that it brings out the worst in me. Apparently I am not bad at math, but It is the most dull area I can thing of. If you're an engineer great. The way my mind is geared, I can't be stimulated mentally by the mundane, meticulous rules and repetitions of The Math. To each his own.

So if you don't read any of that^, at least READ THIS

3 Things You Should Know

1. Freedom of speech was extended to the state level in the case "Gitlow v. New York." Gitlow wins and the first amendment is extended to a state level. Gitlow then does jail time for being a convicted Communist.
2. Roe v. Wade significantly dropped the crime rate (Freakonomics).
3. Vibram 5 fingers changed my life
