`Rebuttal: Affirmative Action, Part 2
Another “popular” idea that shows just how much people want to forget our country’s history and tendency toward highlighting the physical, mental, racial or gender differences, or using those differences to establish and maintain a social hierarchy, is the product of the “Barack Obama Effect,” which has lead a surprising number of American whites to believe that hundreds of years of social injustice and racial prejudice are somehow corrected now that we have a black president. I’m going to spell this out for you.
Texas politics corrode constitutional values
There are many ways to interpret, present, and discuss history. In fact, history may very well be one of the most subjective aspects of school curriculum. However, there are essential elements and practices that historians follow when discussing past events and people. Unfortunately, the Texas Board of Education decided it was going to amend history to fit its own ultraconservative and religious agenda. Just as a disclaimer, know that I am not a staunch anticonservative, nor am I a hardcore liberal, but I simply cannot stand watching the extremes on either end use their power to manipulate situations.

My pockets are very ticklish. When money is slyly shaken from them, I tend to giggle. When I am put against a wall and my money is forced from me, I might start to laugh, but I tend not to.
Nation’s debt does not compare to society’s
“The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity.”
Oil and all its dirty secrets
We hear about oil every day. Prices fluctuate because of supply and demand. We see it on the receipts for our food, gasoline and heating oil bills.
Stimulus lacks Republican backing
When you think about America, what comes to your mind? Freedoms, dreams, competitions, opportunities, or maybe the simple notion of “life” pop into your head. Recently, my mindset has gone from a vibrant state of mighty virtue to a dilapidated excuse for democracy.
Obama-mania not for all
We have a new President. After months on hold, the federal government seems poised to do something useful.
Is Obama the idol we all needed?
If you’re like me, you’re considerably pessimistic regarding the fate of the world. You see no silver linings in the mushroom clouds of our future.
