Suburban Sprawl: environmental devastation, racial segregation, social isolation. Such descriptions have become synonymous with American suburbs--and South Sound is joining the ranks. Yet owning a new home in suburbia is still “the American dream.

Wow, why didn't they have courses like this when I was a student

This is some pedagogy I can get behind, sadly I'm too old and too broke to avail myself of such a fine educational opportunity.  I guess I'll keep studying at the usual places.  Besides, what's the fun of going to school if you can't smoke in the restrooms anymore.

I have taken two class with Nancy Parkes...

... and really enjoyed both of them.  One was on Consumerism, and the other was on Writing for Change.  Crenshaw, if I'm not too old, you're not too old.  I wish you could find a way to pay for this course.
