The Renaissance by Amber Whitman
The Renaissance Era was a period dating from approximately the 14th century
through the 16th century. It was a time of great change for Europe and the world, as a whole
new culture was beginning to emerge. Beliefs were tested. The idea that humankind ruled
nature developed, and has contributed greatly to modern science and technology.
It is thought that Renaissance p ... continue
Fahrenheit 9/11 by Gary R. Hess
I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 a few days ago and found many aspects of the movie interesting. Some of the ideas discussed within the movie I had heard before. Many from newspapers and others from news radio shows or CNN.
The movie starts out showing the 2000 Presidential Election. It goes through the Florida debacle and shows video clips of what happened on the Senate ... continue

KVB: Whoever Wins, We Lose by Gary Whittaker
While the rest of the world watches, Americans will be voting on November 2 to either re-elect George Bush, or John Kerry. You can be sure that as citizens of the earth, we all have a vested interest in the outcome of this election. The most powerful nation in the history of the planet is at war with terror, and terrorist organizations. This war started in New York City, on the infamous dat ... continue
A Guide to Election Night for the Non-Political Junkie by Terry Mitchell
Even if you are not a political junkie like I am, you will still probably find yourself glued to your TV set on election night. Obviously, you`ll be waiting to find out whether President George W. Bush will be elected or if Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts will become our 44th President. Will everything you see and hear that night be interesting? Will it even make sense to you? Well, ... continue
The Conundrum of World Improvement by Martin Winer
The Conundrum of World Improvement
Suppose today, your deity spoke to you and said:
?From this day forward, your job shall be to contemplate the problems of the world. I will give you immortality for as long as you need to think and come up with a solution. During this time, you will live comfortably and be able to dedicate yourself to this quest. At the end of your planning, you ... continue
A Clear Direction After Election Day by Angela Winters
Like everyone else, I was confused by the vast contradictions of the exit polls and the actual results of this election. If I were the news stations, I would want my money back. For all the excitement, waiting and tension, somehow I fell asleep at 10:30. When I woke up at midnight, I was like `Oh hell, here we go.` Then, this morning I felt a little better about it. I don`t think this will ... continue
Democrats - Where to now? by Gary R. Hess
The presidential election just passed and as everyone knows by now George W. will be spending another 4 years in White House as Commander of Chief of the world. Err America. Not only that, the Republicans gained seats in both the House and Senate.
I have been thinking about this ever since the election ended, but where exactly does the Democratic Party go now? The Republicans went th ... continue
The New Age Movement by Skye Thomas
What is the New Age Movement? It is similar to New Age Spirituality, but different enough to warrant its own definition. The New Age Movement is a belief that the human race is all one. It is not about equality nor diversity. It is the idea that your gender, age, religion, race, nor sexual orientation makes you better or worse then anyone else. The New Age Movement is moving away from the U ... continue
Are Black Republicans Selfish? by Angela Winters
I recently read an article at Black America Web, one of my favorite news sources, and was taken back by the opinion of one of the writers. In a nutshell, she said that Black Republicans are just selfish.
We don`t have the exact numbers from the 2004 election yet, but a lot of buzz has been going around the past few weeks about Bush`s black numbers. The Joint Center for Political & E ... continue
Yawn by Sana
About 2.2 million sq km (0.85 million sq mi) in size, Saudi Arabia is mostly desert. It`s bordered to the south-east by Oman, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates, to the north by Iraq and Kuwait, and to the west by Jordan. Western Saudi Arabia is dominated by a mountain chain which runs the entire length of the country, getting higher and wider to the south. About half the country (an area t ... continue
Election Truth by The Independent Voice
Yes, it is true that George W. Bush received the most votes of any elected President in our history. He also received more votes against him than any other elected President in the history of our country. The margin of difference between those who want Bush as our President and those who do not is a measly 3%. The fact is that the electoral map is almost identical to that of the year 2000. ... continue
Narcissistic Leaders by Sam Vaknin
The narcissistic leader is the culmination and reification of his period, culture, and civilization. He is likely to rise to prominence in narcissistic societies.
The malignant narcissist invents and then projects a false, fictitious, self for the world to fear, or to admire. He maintains a tenuous grasp on reality to start with and this is further exacerbated by the trappings of pow ... continue
A Look Ahead to 2008 (Part I) by Terry Mitchell
Just as everyone has breathed a sigh of relief at the end of 2004 presidential campaign, I would like to take a quick look ahead to 2008. Unless George W. Bush is unable to complete his second term, 2008 will bring the third open presidential election (no incumbent running) in 20 years. Even though that`s still four years into the future, the campaign will be unofficially getting underway ... continue
Seeing Blue, Feeling Blue by The Independent Voice
I did grow up in the Northeast but I have yet to experience the people labeled as the ?elites? or morally inferior. My neighborhood was at the lower half of the middle class spectrum. It would be more likely to find a Chevy Nova on blocks in the driveway of a house in my neighborhood than it would to find a Benz or a Beamer. I went to public schools. When I was a kid I would go to morning ... continue
IS REINSTATING THE DRAFT SUCH A BAD IDEA? by Jean Fritz
In his bid for the presidency, John Kerry pronounced a ?secret plan? to reinstate selective service. The fact that New York Democrat and fellow leftist Charles Rangel had proposed this plan wasn?t mentioned, so Kerry?s allegation created hysteria within the blue states. But there are several ways in which reinstating the draft could benefit our country.
FREEDOM IS EARNED
Too many ... continue
Left and Right in a Divided Europe by Sam Vaknin
Even as West European countries seemed to have edged to the right of the political map - all three polities of central Europe lurched to the left. Socialists were elected to replace economically successful right wing governments in Poland, Hungary and, recently, in the Czech Republic.
This apparent schism is, indeed, merely an apparition. The differences between reformed left and new ... continue
White Farms, Black Farmers by Sam Vaknin
The Western press casts him in the role of an African Saddam Hussein. Neighboring leaders supported his policies but then succumbed to diplomacy and world opinion and, with a few notable exceptions, shunned him. The opposition in and its mouthpieces accuse him - justly - of brutal disregard for human, civil, and political rights and of undermining the rule of law.
All he wants, insis ... continue
A Letter of Congratulation to George Bush by Arthur Zulu
Dear Bush,
I must first of all apologize for not including my address on this letter. In this age of terrorism, one should be wary of disclosing private addresses in public places. So I decided to send you this mail from `an undisclosed secret location.`
The purpose of my writing you, however, is to congratulate you for your `decisive` victory in the November electio ... continue
Peace in the Mideast by Robert Bruce Baird
?Peace in the Middle East - whoa that is a toughie.
You have millennia of sheople being led around by the nose while abusing their mothers and daughters on both (or all eight or nine) sides of the issue and then there is all that oil that corpserists backing the US are in need of.
I suspect there needs to be real ecumenicism and the religions must be forced (which will requir ... continue
