So, we talked about the Constitution today. Is it a living document? Or is it dead? I, of course, hinted at its zombification over time. We'll watch some video segments tomorrow about earlier documents that influenced the establishment of our current form of government (which happens to be the BEST EVER!!! - ROCK ON!!!) But more importantly, I will now work hard to get all your names and faces committed to memory. I have been assured that schedules are no longer changing, so my memory will begin to take shape tomorrow. If you have annoyed me by talking when you're not supposed to, or simply sat there quietly with a zombie stare as I ask for responses, this week is your chance to start fresh - especially with Friday's discussion about the Obama Health Care Speech. You'll also be REQUIRED to make a Forum comment on Moodle about what you liked and disliked about the speech...until then, enjoy this video of how a Bill becomes law (from the popular Schoolhouse Rock series of my youth - back when there were actually cartoons on all major networks every Saturday morning):
Or you can watch the Family Guy version here:

I like the Joe McCarthy ref in the first video when Bill and the kid are listening in on the bureaucrats arguing in the committee hearing and their just shouting "POINT OF ORDER" back and forth inside...I laughed.
