(Reminder -- our last Socratic Seminar on "1984" will be tomorrow -- bring your questions!)
You can put both your write-ups for "60 Minutes" and "The Amazing Race!" here (thought I'd save some space). Regina brought up a very interesting point to me. I hope that you all know about the HUGE earthquake that occurred yesterday in the country of Chile. She asked me if the earthquake would affect "The Amazing Race." Just to let you know, the actual show was taped months ago, as are most of the reality shows. It takes them months to take all of the footage they've shot and edit it down to a one-hour show each week. Enjoy the shows!

Randy, I don't know for sure because I haven't seen the movie, but I'm thinking that "Locker" might refer to someone who "locks" something up (in this case, his "hurt")... Or it could be a reference from a movie... Again, I'm just guessing...

1a. I think they are talking about this issue because espionage is starting to affect the United States.

Yes, Regina, you have figured it out. Once "1984" is inside of you, you can never get rid of it! I want you all to be haunted by it and question government for the rest of your lives!!! :)

Good Andrew! Yes, we talked about the Ottoman Empire, just to say that they conquered the Byzantine Empire... I also told you that they eventually collapsed after they lost WWI. The reason we never talked about this is that it happened in 1915, which is about 300 years after Global I ends. Hopefully you'll hear about it next year. In other words, we will never talk about it in Global I class -- that is why we're talking about it here.
