class talk

Today in class we talked about excellence and how it related to Elbert Hubbard's essay. We also had a long discussion about what we think people would do if there were no laws in the country. We all thought that most people would probably not follow the rules and/or laws because you would have no consequences. I liked that we got into this discussion because it got us all thinking and most of us participated or said our thoughts on what we were talking about. We learned the definition of some of the words that were in A Message to Garcia which were considered slang back in the day, before we were born. One of the words was slipshod, which ,means lackadaisical or lazily. The word comes from horses and their shoes. When someone does a bad job or it falls of they were considered a slipshod.
