Wallace’s last words were cut short when, according to one of his students, “he landed in a migrant worker’s red wheelbarrow, stained with rain water, beside the white chickens.”

some of the articles on there are quite entertaining, just please note the disclaimer on the side bar of the page. But whoever comes up with some of these stories is quite imaginative, or watches too many movies. Ie: Teacher named Wallace crying freedom as he hurls himself out a window.  mmmmmmmmmm 'hmmm, where have I heard a similiar storyline.' agagagagag agagagagag

Outlook 2011 & the Next Decade: China: Is The Smart Money Right?
Dian L. Chu, Economic Forecasts & Opinions |  Dec. 25, 2010, 2:20 AM 

China has been ranked as the top growing country among the G20 since 2001 and is expected to retain that title for at least another five years (See Growth Chart). However, the news coming out of China for the past three months has not been good. It is looking more and more that it is not a question of if China is a bubble and going to burst, but when...

I mean, racism is horrible and evil and such, but why change the words in the novel? Huck Finn uses the N word to describe his friend Jim, whom he is helping to escape. This, to me, is silliness. PC...PC...Glory be to PC...

Oh, for crying out loud. I guess I see the point...

Thanks for the link. Something to talk about in American Lit next semester. Can also tie in English and how the language changes and Culture (being PC and all). The students I'll have for Amer Lit have also been my students for writing and culture. A little review with this as an example won't hurt.
