At the same time?!?! That's so mean! Professor Robinson should know that the same people who want to take Mongol Empire may want to take Chinese too.
I'm just not sure what people DO with such a compartmentalized minor. Sure, you can go to law school with anything, but other than that? Work at a non-profit? Be a professor? It's a good thing people will have a more applicable major to go with it (I hope). And yeah, I agree that it separates gay people from the rest of society, but all of those specialities are like that. Like, Women's Studies--apparently, we are SO DIFFERENT from men that mere Psychology is NOT SUFFICIENT to study us. Oh, no, we need a separate area of study! Without penises! Penises are evil! Penises are all Karl Rove in disguise! Did you ever think that these sorts of classes are more vehicles of propaganda than actual academic experiences? (I'm sure I've now offended someone or another...I'm used to that. Enough professors have insulted me that I'm getting immune)
The only one I can put a name to is Tozer, but I recognize a lot of the other people just from around campus.
Oh, did I tell you Josh's weather theory yet? See, I was explaining about Dick Cheney's weather machine and how he caused Hurricane Katrina to kill black people, and how Josh should be careful or he would be hailed on. Then Josh was like, "No, Dick Cheney may have a weather machine, but Al Gore is in touch with nature. He can control the elements without a machine!" So I said something derogatory about Al Gore (use your imagination--it was probably about how he invented nature like he invented the internet), and Josh walked away from me so he wouldn't get hit when Al struck me with lightning. I was highly amused. Also highly amusing? Al Gore forming a secret presidential election exploratory committee. Oh, Al.
