Dangers Around the Corner

I hope some of you found a new purpose for coming to school on a regular basis today.  Keep in mind that excused absences are not going to be a problem (unless they add up) - I simply want to make sure you take the final 3 months seriously.  Read your Machiavelli again and maybe you'll understand why the cost of skipping on Friday is so high.  I am having difficulties finding the 10-minute Daily Show clip.  When I do find it, I'll make a Moodle Forum for those of you needing to make up last Friday.

Some of you may be interested in reading this (long) because it provides some detailed insight into the growing rift between the US and China.  It really should be of interest to all of you.  The more you close your eyes and avoid the economics of our relationship with China, the more likely we'll see negative results in the relationship.  Check back later for a new Weekly Forum topic.

  1. Something about China's strategy reminds me of how my cousin used to play BS...he'd purposefully BS everyone to get all the cards so he could call everybody out on their lies. But he still lost.
