This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting UT journalism professor Robert Jensen at a discussion on digital copyright he organized for the College of Communications. While we discussed the DCMA and file-sharing, I got the most out of Bob's discussion of his story "Confronting Our Fears So We Can Confront The Empire" which I read in the wee hours of the morning. He says that even his conservative Republican father in North Dakota is so freaked out about the war that his dad is in denial, claiming Bush the younger is simply bluffing. With 20,000 infantry members amassed at the Iraqi border, its too late to think that.

As I was walking to my bus stop after the meeting, a sweater on a construction worker caught my eye. The Mexican-American man was wearing a white sweater with the words "Jenks Trojans" knitted in maroon letters. Its strange enough to see people wearing OU stuff in Austin, so I was pretty surprised to see my high school represented on the UT-Austin campus. I imagine the man picked up at a thrift store.
