snapshot of judith
english isn't her first language, yet she's an english major. not that i feel her first language should impact her ability to interpret literature or write in english, but it does. tonight she ranted on and on about the fact that our teacher refered to Virginia Woolf's essay, "A Room of Ones Own" as a feminist manifesto. in her (unswayable) opinion, that is an insult. she feels as if Woolf's words do not speak for all women. when i tried to point out that they may have been profound at the time they were written, she retorted that there must have been other, better fiminist manifesto writers at that time. ...
she constantly asks for explanations of seemingly simple things like the meaning of sentimental.
she is passive agressive.
she wears her bangs cut straight across her forhead
she constantly reminds us that she is 30
she tries to bring christianity into every facet of conversation, literary or otherwise

Money is the root of all evil?
• What is the root of money:
• Money is a tool of exchange which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.
• Money is not the tool of the moochers who claim your product by fear or of the looters who take it from you by force.
• Money is only made possible by the men who produce is, this what you consider evil?
• When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others.
• To trade by the means of money is the code of the men of good will.
• Money rests on the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort.
• But money is only a tool, it will give you the means for the satisfaction of good desires, but it will not provide you with desires.
• Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept for what he wants. Money will not give him a code of values.
• The man who attempts to purchase the brains of his superiors, to serve him, ends up becoming the victim of his inferiors.
Men’s Character?
• The man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably, the man ho respects it has earned it.
• Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done not by consent but by compulsion; when you see that in order to produce you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods but in favors; when you see men get richer by graft and by pull than by work; when you see corruption rewarded and honest becoming a self sacrifice; you may now see that society is doomed.
• When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good, do not expect them to stay moral and loose their lives for the purpose of becoming the father of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce when production is punished and looting is rewarded. Do not ask who is destroying the world, you are.
• If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose the fact they were the people who created the phrase, “To make money”. No other language or nation had ever used these words before. Men had always thought of wealth as aesthetic quantity to besiege; begged; inherit; looted; or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that money holds the essence of human morality, yet the looters credo has brought you to regard your proudest achievements as a hall mark of shame; your prosperity as guilt; your greatest men, the industrialists, as blaggards; and your magnificent factories as the product and property of muscular labor. The labor of whipped driven slaves.
