It's sometimes interesting how thoughts get from my head to my blog. Many of the ideas in that last post were coalesced into bloggable form by conversations with Amanda about the unresponsiveness of ResLife to student concerns and needs. But for whatever reason -- lack of time, lack of clarity, uncertainty of how to introduce the issue -- I didn't blog then. But today, as I was reading about risk management policy for class, these ideas came back in the context of the reading and I felt like I could frame them in terms of political philosophy. More often, a good idea sits in my head until I find a newspaper article to quote as my starting point.
