Hello world of blogging! Here I am.
A bit about myself to those who don't know me. My name is Amber and I am a certified political scientist who does not currently work in her field. I am outspoken, opinionated, and interested in just about everything.
I found, that the minute anyone finds out that you have a background in politics, the political questions start coming like crazy... what does the governor general do? What is your opinion on the situation in Egypt? Why are we having an election? and so forth and so forth and so forth. This blog is an attempt to help people with that. I will discuss anything political, answer any questions put forth by anyone about politics, and when no one wants to talk to me, I will just talk about whatever I feel like.
My major areas of interest include (but are not limited to) International politics (specifically African), Canadian politics, HIV/AIDS and the politics of health, religion and politics, and many many others. I am calling this the Apolitical blog because I am a strange breed in the world of political scientists, I have no real political allegiances to parties or groups. I am not going to pretend that I don't have my own biases and opinions, but I will try and acknowledge those most of the time.
So yeah, that is me and this blog in a nutshell. There will be more to come and I will make this blog look cooler. Please leave messages or comments.
Ciao
Amber
I am most looking forward to your rants my dear Amber, as I miss them so. Hopefully, I will also get some knowledge about Canada's politics (of which I admit I know little about) and I would share my own views... I love you, your dear Latina Lover
ReplyDeleteGot to love the questions posed by people when they find out someone holds a poli degree! I got a 11pm phone call from a friend in BC to ask who was PM between Chretien and Harper a couple weeks ago. Definitely have to stay on top of your game!
ReplyDeleteSo how do you propose Canada addresses issues of donor fatigue when it comes to development programs in Africa, specifically in regards to HIV/AIDS treatment? And how do you ensure the funds that have currently been made available are directed to the front lines as opposed to disappearing into Swiss bank accounts of govn't officials?
I DEMAND ANSWERS! AND I SHALL ARGUE AGAINST EVERYTHING YOU SAY FOR MY OWN ENTERTAINMENT!
