i'm pretty busy with a lot of things right now so it took a while for this message to get to you. you see, i'm having my internship in the commission on human rights and there's just so many things to do there. GRRR

so that sucks. but it's good to know though that we are students of related fields in the social sciences. oh, and about you're problem with friendman's history. well, i'm sorry i can't give any insights on that one coz i'm not really interested with history ever since i've read hegel's philosophy of history. reading that book was like torture. it's boring and it makes brains melt. i went through that for a term paper of mine. and even though i got a good grade for it and i sold it to academon.com and it's worth around $80, i still don't fully understand the damn thing. and so it made me hate any philosophical, political or whatever kind of analysis of history.

as to your question of why i chose political science, well at first my dad wanted me to get a degree on it just so that i'll have good foundations when i enter law school, but as i got into it, i found out that politics is pretty interesting so now i'm actually considering getting a masters degree. my dad don't know this yet and i bet he'll be furious when he finds out about this. so this is a little secret okay (whispering).
