After thirty years
I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I've always hated
-James "Come Home"
I sent an article to my Work and Family Policy professor. It was harmless, just a conservative view of TANF that was really positive. The next e-mail that popped up in my box was a group e-mail to everyone in my class that read "Dear class, You needn't write a question on this, but I want to add a reading for next week that Doug passed along. We need to hear more conservative voices."
I'm sure everyone hates me right now
I hate myself.
Who Am I?
That I should condemn this class to slavery
Pretend that I do not feel their agony
How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?

Way to go, nerd. You're going to get beat up after class. I'll see to that, boy howdy.
C'mon. Classmates totally respect the kid who adds to their workload. Seriously, they love more reading. They were probably hoping you'd suggest that everyone get together and write group papers about the reading. 'Cuz honestly, what's more fun than a group paper?
