Where Sister (confessional) Three years born behind and I never waited for you Different goals established as we grew older Mine education and self-completion Yours a chuckle and acknowledgement from others Our mother never there, our father not with her It was easy to be naïve yet hard to live up to I saw you as a hindrance, little sister, A corset to my lungs A shears to my wings For no good

Now I See (confessional) I am content but hadn’t been I was a nasty wretch and could not budge From the jealousy that filled my heart with pain I cried and cried until finally one day My crying was in hope to seek help Yelp! Yelp! The source of pain The cure from pain Each the same You were there from the beginning But did not see me change. We were blind to my hurt The dementia had arranged.

We are all being destroyed The man has come to take us down Peaceful gathering is not a crime We are not here to cause a fuss We are here to make you understand us Rubber bullets fly We all take our stand Next thing you know blood is shed Our eyes are watering We will not be faultering Our reunion has been overrun We will have to do it again Come up against the man Make them understand It's

Personally I'd like to talk about the alternative rock of the early to mid '90s. Bands including Dishwalla, Better Than Ezra and the like. Not too soft, not too hard, but just about right... -Aaron E.

OK--here is what I would prefer to talk about in the Peer Teaching Project: punk music. And none of that so-called punk that, instead, sounds like 'bubble-gummy pop music' like Ms. Avril Lavigne or Blink 182 or Good Charlotte or-- you get the picture. Anyone else interested? I sure hope so, I'd like to think that people in Fargo (ya!) listen to decent music. Later.

IMPORTANT: later in the semester, groups of 4-6 students will each do an hour-long presentation in which they will "teach" certain topics and issues to the rest of the class. I would like you all, as much as possible, to form these groups yourselves. That is, you should think about what topic you'd like to do, and then hook up with several classmates with similar interests. (This will prevent

Aaron Lael The Rolling Stones’ History of Society The Rolling Stones lyrics give us a window into an era that most of us never got the chance to experience first hand. A myriad of booze, drugs, and such a casual stance on promiscuity that occurred in the lifestyle that the “Stones” portray in their music is far from out-of-the-ordinary today, but in their time, it was revolutionary. They were

It’s kind of like a recipe. Rolling
