9/11

I am sure we all remember what happened 8 years ago today. I remember they whole day as if it was only yesterday and for most Americans it changed our view on the world. So on this day we need to remember those whose lives were lost remember them for the way they lived but we also need to remember why they died. We will probably all hear the conspiracy theories about the attacks being planned by the government or whatever. Well Penn and Teller do a good job, and very simple, job of telling exactly why not to believe them (Sorry I would have embedded it but it was disabled for this video):

The rest of this episode is very good as well and I recommend it, along with all of the episodes of Bullshit. So take today to remember what happened so we can prevent it from ever happening again.

So I know everything has been very Virginia Tech centered recently so here is something different!

Wow is this really what we have come to?

1) A 2.7 is not stellar
2) People with experience are having trouble finding jobs what makes you think you are so special
3) There are jobs out there you might just have to leave the city you are in
4) They might not help out the 4.0s more it is just easier for them to find a job

I hope to be able to keep up with this story and will let you know how it ends. Also the next 2 weeks I will be running around the Eastern and Central US like a chicken with its head cut off so don't expect too many posts.
