Today's class 1/31/11

Its the last day of January. Time sure flies. Today in Western Civ class we were given assigned seats. Mine is pretty good, not my favorite though. We also watched more of the movie Guns Germs and Steel.  I have to say i reallly like this movie. Its pretty interesting to learn how we go to where we are today and why some people still live in the "past" so to speak. The New Guineans are a very interesting culture. They still survive on Hunting and Gathering and they make most of what they need, including clothing and tools. Its weird to think that we used to do that too, but only we are more evolved now. Sometimes I wonder what people in America would do if one day we were forced to live like that. Its a very good question to discuss. I mean ask yourself, could you survive like that today?
