The Singer Solution

I hope after today's class all you morally and ethically questionable people are able to enjoy your vacations. Yeesh - how stressful for you! Italy, Hawaii, Mexico - how can you possibly have fun after reading Peter Singer's essay? Luckily I am not going on a vacation - I'll just stay home and give my income to charity. But, seriously, I hope you all have a great, well-deserved break! Also, seriously, I am not going on vacation - hopefully there is a small pang of sympathy for me. You could bring me a grain of sand or a postcard just to show you care!

• We collected the $ for the AP exam; Emma you're in!
