 okay, so i am in the most broing class known to man.  and i know that james galbraith (the rofessor) is all famous and awesome and stuff in the world of development economics, but even that fact is not enough to make me creamy over the import export relationships of India and England in the 1870s.  For reals.

Usually, people say, "You don't seem like the type of person who goes to church a lot." to which I reply "I'm Unitarian." That usually confuses them enough to let me explain what we believe.

i had the same problems when i told people that i was the social action coordinator for the southwest district of YA. People thought I was like crazy involved in church and a bible thumper, and i said the same as you..."I'm unitarian, we're not a super christian churchy church" and people thought I was in a cult, and not only that but I was in a high position of power within that cult. Like I was about to put everyone in Nike jogging suits and give them "special punch". Little did they know it only meant i planned things that nobody could come to. Ever.

My biggest amusement is the look on people's faces when I tell them that I coordinated a Rocky Horror Picture Show event. At my church. "AT YOUR WHAT?!?"

There are a lot fewer bible thumpers at UIUC though. Even at the law school. People randomly comment about being anti-religion.

Oh yeah, and you've got James Galbraith as a professor, huh? That's pretty neat. He was one of the scholars whose works we studied in my Political Economy class in undergrad (I think it was either spring or fall of '03)

im sure he'd be really excited to know that someone is studying him. he's a nice, liberal enough guy with a half comb over and a bowtie. classic economist.
