I spent the majority of this winter attending classes at CSU. The majority of my time was in American Economics.
It wasn't exactly as boring as you might think, as the class consisted of people from 38 States, and 5 Foreign counties.
We were given 2 books to read. One was on healthcare, the other was the Economics of U.S. Immigration. Both were topical, difficult reads, and of course both were slanted by the politics of the writer.
We all learned a whole, whole lot about civil discourse, and I don't think I've opened a link anyone has offered up since, because these authors could make your blood boil. lol
I still don't watch much television, but my granddaughter will have me watch The Secret Lives of Pets repeatedly, and that's okay with me. Going to see the sequel, next week!

Let me sum up "civil discourse" for you and save you some reading time:
A bunch of idiots chanting about something nobody cares anything about.
A bunch of cops asking if they can go home now, because they're hungry.
You're welcome.

The breadth of the other students experiences was really wide. From a lady who was former Deputy Mayor of NYC, to one man who was head of mergers and acquisitions for a multi-national corporation, and everything in between.
Number one in the house though was a former prison warden from Arizona. The stories of releasing felonious undocumented immigrants back into the public, after they had made parole.....
