You're either on the bus....
Or off the bus. The 00's equivalent to this fetching 60's binary in which neutrality went unrecognized would be........what?
Finding it difficult to cull a class list from the excellent entry exams , we (Jarecki and Santos in spirit) have decided to allow all in who submitted an entry assignment - with two caveats and one requirement: if you a sophomore (there are two survivors I believe) this is going to be a tough course and will require some extra reading and effort; we ordered books for 20, class size is now 31, so amazon.com etc will be needed to acquire the rest (we will also be putting copies on reserve); and the requirement is that you post an answer to the question above as a comment to this entry (this will tell us who is registered on the blog - and is actively participating).
I will be in my office this afternoon and tomorrow to sign the requisite forms.
Screening in Joukowsky tomorrow 4-6 will be of two proto-GMP efforts: VirtuallyY2K and After 911. See you there.
Onward,

"You're either with us or against us." as said by our President in regards to the War Against Terror.
See you in class.

Good news for all laggards: U-hall has agreed to waive $15 fee until Friday, so we can sign admit forms in class on Wednesday.

"Are you in, or are you in?"-What I'd imagine Yogi Berra would've said about it.

Slightly off topic but relevant nonetheless:
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.
(A semblance of diversity in a polarized world?)

"You're either with us, or you are against us in this fight against terror." -Bush.
Not to leave Hilary out: she said "Every nation has either be with us or against us" -HRC.
Both in 2001

I want take a leap and say that this is related to last week's conversation about the tweakers out in 29 Palms... but my own logic may be based on the fact that the quote from the 60s is from Kesey's "The Further Inquiry" which has plenty of drug references to begin with...
but I think I'll go with Jake and Daliso on this one... You're either with us, or against us

With regards to today's "celebutante" culture:

an original 00's equivalent (give or take):
"He who is not with me is against me" - Jesus Christ (Matthew 12:30)

I had a lot of trouble trying to think of something original after Jake's comment, but here's a thought — You're either carrying a gun or you're a target.

I liked the Bush quote used in "After 911"
"There can be no neutrality between justice and cruelty, between the innocent and the guilty. We are in a conflict between good and evil, and America will call evil by its name."
Or, to sort of play off of sonia's comment,
"You're either watching the bombs drop on TV, or those bombs were meant for you."

it's a "war on terror." Who's for us, and who's for terror?
