TIPsters.... Apologies for somewhat borderline psychological content here - though I certainly think there is a social psychology aspect to this (i.e., mob behavior, social influence, etc).
I have become something of a political nutcase lately, and started a blog a week or so ago. Last night I blogged about what I think is some very disturbing news. You can find my post here: http://hippieprofessor.com/2009/09/03/wake-up-everyone-right-or-left-must-condemn-this-behavior/ I know we have a variety of political views here on TIPs, but I hope that everyone can agree with me that we indeed need to condemn this behavior. I am not sure what I expect you to actually do with this information. I am trying to make sure my students see it by posting it on facebook and elsewhere. I think there is probably a teaching moment to be had here. See... I guess there was some teaching-related content after all. Thanks for listening and putting up with my insanity... ;) -- Jim Dougan *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Be sure to see my blog! http://hippieprofessor.com --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
