JoeSa says, "Heck yeah!"
MaggieCa says, "where is Wendy. Hello Joe and MiMa"
MiMa says, "me too""
JoeSa says, "I dont know"
MiMa says, "don't know, hi! "
Dr.Ballif goes out.
JoeSa says, "lets read the assignment"
MaggieCa says, "what do we type?"
JoeSa says, "I forgot"
MaggieCa says, "is it 'read 1 on note or 'read 4 on note'"
[Mr.Cole's Classroom] Mr.Cole says, "type 'read 4 on note' for today's assignment "
[Mr.Cole's Classroom] Mr.Cole leaves for the Three.
JoeSa says, "thanks Mr. Cole"
JoeSa says, "woops, hes already gone"
[Mr.Cole's Classroom] Mr.Cole has arrived.
MaggieCa says, "who's going to be the leader?"
JoeSa says, "I say Mi Anne"
MiMa says, "ok""
JoeSa says, "cool"
MaggieCa claps her hands
JoeSa does too
MiMa says, "your too kind""
MiMa says, "ok, what do you think about rich?""
JoeSa says, "I think that Rich is a bit extreme at times but she poses some interesting points"
MaggieCa says, "well it is hard for me to know if times have changed since 1979 because I've never really been confronted by sexisms"
MiMa says, "true that""
JoeSa says, "yeah, now I see more and more businesswomen"
JoeSa says, "and other so called powerful positions"
MaggieCa says, "Women now have the chance to do almost anything if they put their minds to it"
JoeSa says, "true, she may have been living in a time when it wasnt normal to have a job other than that of a housewife"
MaggieCa says, "now in 1998 I believe that we have to look into the future instead of focussing on the past "
MiMa says, "that's great""
JoeSa says, "I agree, women should try to prove themselves in the workforce "
WendyFr has arrived.
JoeSa says, "and not dwell too much on the past"
WendyFr says, "I'm finally here!"
MiMa says, "hey girl""
JoeSa says, "hey Wendy!"
MaggieCa says, "we have just as many opportunities as any man. we just have to do something about it. It's not likely that someone is going to knock on our door and offer us a job because we've had to overcome obstacles in the past."
WendyFr says, "My computer would not let me on. I'm on the girl's across the hall. What are we doing?"
JoeSa says, "true, dont take anything personal just because I'm the only guy"
JoeSa says, "Wendy, type read 4 on note"
MiMa says, "i agree with Maggie""
MiMa says, "if you want something, you have to do it yourself""
WendyFr says, "ok, cool"
MaggieCa says, "exactly. men do too. "
AnandVy has arrived.
MiMa says, "besides, it's so much better when you get it through hard work""
JoeSa says, "me too, I think its good that women are trying to make themselves more powerful than before, in a way"
JoeSa says, "Yeah, it's like you earned it"
MiMa says, "i love it, i can smoke in class!""
AnandVy says, "Smoke?"
WendyFr says, "it's awesome"
JoeSa says, "smoking isnt too good for yer health"
MiMa says, "oh well""
MiMa says, "so is drinking""
AnandVy says, "smoke what"
JoeSa says, "Are you in Cristi's room?"
JoeSa says, "MJ"
MiMa says, "guess what, she's my roommate now""
JoeSa says, "For Real!!!"
MiMa says, "michelle kicked her out""
MaggieCa says, "what next guys?"
JoeSa says, "That didnt surprise me"
MaggieCa says, "I'm going to read the note again. don't type anything for a minute please."
WendyFr says, "OK"
AnandVy says, "How do we read the note"
MiMa says, "ok""
MiMa says, "read 4 on note""
JoeSa says, "you dont have to type it again just scroll up, Maggie"
AnandVy says, "It doesnt matter if the screen move just keep typing what you're saying"
MiMa says, "joe, did you drink last nite?""
MaggieCa says, "i know it is just really high up now"
JoeSa says, "I couldnt, I was driving the escort van"
WendyFr cries.
AnandVy says, "How do we read the note?"
WendyFr says, "type read 4 on note without the quotes"
AnandVy says, "Thanks."
WendyFr says, "sure"
MaggieCa says, "do y'all think that because Rich has revised her article it invalidates the first one?"
JoeSa says, "no it's just good to hear that she changed with the times"
MiMa says, "not really.""
AnandVy says, "Yes."
WendyFr says, "I don't think so either"
MaggieCa says, "i bet her opinions have not changed, but she did it to please some people"
WendyFr says, "why do you think that, Anand?"
JoeSa says, "I doubt that Maggie"
AnandVy says, "Anytime you change your argument, it makes whatever you said before invalid."
MiMa says, "she didn't really change it""
WendyFr says, "she didn't change it completely though"
JoeSa says, "I dont think that lady would do anything to please anyone"
AnandVy says, "If she did."
MaggieCa says, "you are right!"
JoeSa says, "think about when she was delivering the speech, Maggie?"
MaggieCa says, "did y'all read the second one, do we have it?"
AnandVy says, "Everyone does something to pease someone"
MaggieCa says, "what about it Joe"
AnandVy says, "I mean please"
JoeSa says, "she must have had some guts to say that thing in front of all those people"
WendyFr says, "true"
MaggieCa says, "that's very true."
JoeSa says, "she wasnt pleasing anyone then"
MaggieCa says, "Anand, not everyone"
JoeSa says, "well maybe a few people"
AnandVy says, "Everyone."
MiMa says, "whatever""
AnandVy says, "We are br-products of society"
MaggieCa says, "some people care nothing about others opinions"
AnandVy says, "I mean, Bi-products."
AnandVy says, "It's not a bad thing"
MiMa says, "like me""
JoeSa says, "true, maggie"
MiMa says, "yes it is, it means you have no input on anything""
AnandVy says, "As Freud said, As little as man is able to exist in isolation it's amazing what little he/she will do to make a communal existence possible."
JoeSa says, "wendy, are you looking for me?"
MiMa says, "so your saying you"
JoeSa says, "Oh!! Hee! Hee!"
WendyFr laughs.
JoeSa laughs too
AnandVy says, "Saying what?"
MiMa says, "oops. so your saying that you'll do anything if someone tells you to do it?""
MaggieCa says, "okay MiMa what is the consensus"
AnandVy says, "No way."
MiMa says, "then you can't say everyone does what everyone tells them to do""
JoeSa says, "you might want to be taking notes Mi Anne"
AnandVy says, "I'm only saying we do things for people, what's the point if we don't do things so someone else will hear them or read them"
MiMa says, "i'll say that rich's speech dosn't change her arguement and that she may have been too strong but her ideas are right""
MaggieCa says, "well that doesn't necessarily mean we'll change our opinions For someone"
AnandVy says, "I never said that everyone does what everyone tells them to do"
MiMa says, "well, you implied it""
AnandVy says, "Not at all. You misunderstood."
JoeSa says, "were getting off the subject"
MiMa says, "did not. and i'm not going to argue about it""
AnandVy says, "This is the subject."
MaggieCa says, "let's get back"
WendyFr says, "for sure, Joe"
WendyFr says, "let's"
AnandVy says, "This is discussion"
MiMa says, "so, anything else i should say?""
JoeSa says, "sounds good Mi"
MaggieCa says, "great."
MiMa says, "cool beans""

WendyFr says, "groovy baby, yea!"
MiMa says, "hmm. Don't know""
WendyFr says, "clueless over here"
JoeSa says, "Moi aussi"
