Thanks Ryan!

I think I got most of that, even though a lot of it is going over my head still. I'm not embarrassed to say that I still don't really understand what is going on with the crisis...and I'm an ECON major.

Another possibility is to attend a lecture at UNC on Feb 3rd called "The World Financial Crisis" featuring Gary W. Parr. Check out the link below and let me know if you want to join me!

Whether you hate or like him, he's someone to listen to about this issue and relates it to international aid.

What do you think?
