Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing

This blog is supposed to be a friendly place where I keep in touch with my friends and family.  I try hard to abstain from overt ranting about topics that might offend.  Somedays it is harder than others.  Without expressing any particular viewpoint, here is a list of recent topics/events about which I have been sounding off at length:

• Paula Deen's diabetes and her paid sponsor
• Customer service on USAirways vs. United vs. Southwest
• The gas mileage on a 2000 Honda Civic DX compared to a 2012 version of the same
• Smoking at work
• Alec Baldwin and the use of "electronic devices" on planes
• TSA and the monetization of safety

(can you tell I've spent a lot of time on planes lately?)

• Freire's critical consciousness of education and social science theory in general
• Childhood nutrition and obesity
• The current revisioning of the DSM
