"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Networking
I dread "Networking." The word strikes a chord of fear in my heart. A heavy minor triad, I think. Root, octave jump to the next root, the third, the fifth, root again, and finally the second third. It brings up images of walking around in a tie, drinking brandy that I don't want, and trying to figure out what the hell to say to people that I want to hire me but that I don't want to make smalltalk with.
But it might happen anyway, the networking (chord again). I am trying, better judgement coming in on both sides, to go to the Peggy Browning Fund's Fifth Annual National Workers' Rights Conference for Law Students on October 3 & 4, 2003 where I will attend workshops on labor issues delivered by people in suits and make contacts for summer jobs. Or I might just wimp out and not go and work at McDonald's next summer. Good god, why am I in law school if the idea of getting a job as a lawyer scares the beejesus out of me.
Maybe this is why lawyers have the highest rate of alcoholism of any profession.
