The End

The staff at the LHG is made up of those society has rejected: the homeless, 40 year old virgins, single mothers on welfare, street corner prostitutes, retired superstar athletes, and assistant professors. In our offices, we spend a good chunk of time arguing over who has it worse. All sorts of positions have been taken. The most controversial (and perhaps bitter) argues that while the homeless have their freedom and virgins their chastity, while single mothers have their children, prostitutes their pretty woman, and retired superstar athletes their money, assistant professors have none of the above. And just when they think things might be okay, an arbitrary exercise of power reminds them that their fate is not in their hands.

Here at the LHG we rise and fall together. If some of us go, we all do. This gig is over - thanks for your time.

Well, thanks for all the articles, the information and the opportunity to be part of something that seemed so well intended.
Good Luck.

elivo, sorry about missunderstanding,
local newspaper...
I was trying to say that the posts in LHG are so good that much more people should read your material. Personally, I first got in touch of this issues by the interviews they made to you in Argentina by the newspapers La Nación and Clarín. You could easily publish something there or well in other places in the US for the big audiences.
I know I stopped mailing but I´ll be back,
best wishes, n.-

se aburrieron o se cansaron los del LHG?

...assitant professors have the love of their students, families, friends, and fans.

...and that's what it's all about.

hi elivo
sorry about the misunderstanding,
I´m only the same guy who mailed you a couple of months ago from Argentina thinking of translating what you´ve written.
And by the few readings made, I like your material. I´m just looking forward to finish my ...degree? in sociology first at UBA and then I´ll try to get in touch. (I know my english is still pretty rusty but matbe I´ll live over there in a while -just need a little of $-).
Hope you still keep on writing in LHG or in any other place,
thanx up to here,
n
