Humanitarian Intervention Presentation

I dedicate this blog posting to myself. I dedicate it to thinking on my feet; I dedicate it to a certain level of genius that I posses. I dedicate it to Michael, too. Secondarily of course to myself, because all he did was quote me to myself on my facebook wall. i am sharing it here because I know that not all of my stalkers fans have facebook (you sneaks in TEXAS, ARIZONA, and OHIO!!!!! and my dad.)

The pretext is this. I was giving a presentation on humanitarian intervention. I was spouting off about NOT intervening. SO, I said to the class, I says, (something like this, but the thing is I will use quotes despite it not being a direct quotation): "Humanitarian Intervention ends up being sexy. People like Joe Six Pack start talking about genocide and then they start wearing t-shirts about stopping the genocide. But in reality nothing happens. And there are other evils in the world, silent killers, if you will! Other pandemics and crimes against humanity." Then, came this, and this here is a direct quotation:

 "Nobody is wearing t-shirts saying 'stop diarrhea.'" - wcf 11/30/09

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! I'll be here all year!
