Homework: Big Macs
I got a letter today from my section leader, who teaches torts. He says hi and gives us a case to read. It's Pelman v. McDonalds, where the burger chain is sued for making people fat. I like that he'd choose something that we've probably heard about to use as an introduction. Plus, it's only 8 pages, so that's nice. I should be able to read that much in 2 weeks. Maybe.

So I got this cousin who's an academic and the other day he was bitching that Derrida pushed all of our most brilliant thinkers out of the arts and scholarly pursuits and into law. At the time I thought it was horseshit, but given you are the one person I'm certain is smarter than I am I have to concede that he might be onto something. Thus I shed a tear for what you might have done and quietly celebrate that you're out of the running.
Well, maybe the whole Derrida thing has finally run its course.
Is this Chris, by the way?
