Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Barack Obama: The politics of charisma and the message of hope: 2 of 26

*As I sat down to compose this brief work, The Networks were projecting that Barack Obama would be our next President. As the nearly 1 million people gathered in Chicago's Grant Park that evening, and video of Obama-mania inundated our senses, I could not help but be reminded of the expression, "how soon we forget."* We are ...
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Should state law be amended so that municipal governments have more control over Board of Education budgets?: 1 of 5

The discussion on this topic is long overdue. Public schools have come a long way since their inception in the mid 1800's. They used to be small, community-oriented school houses that operated on small budgets and used common sense principles of education. Since then, they have become large, underperfoming, and often poverty...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On love: 120 of 363

When I hold you in my arms It is your warmth that encompasses me, My haven from the wind That sweeps away my emotion. Your touch quenches my skin With the warmness and comfort of a summer eve's shower, Assuring my heart that it does not love in vain, But that you are real. And in your eyes I behold the mystery and splendor O...
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Police abuse: Holding the police responsible for their actions: 14 of 41

Brendlin, Bruce v. California Facts: On November 27, 2001 in Yuba City, California, officer Robert Brokenbrough noticed a 1993 Buick with expired tags. He radioed dispatch to inquire as to whether or not the owner was in the process of obtaining new tags, which he was. Officer Brokenbrough noticed a temporary permit in the r...
Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Assessing the death penalty: 53 of 97

I would like to preface this essay by pointing out a fact that many may consider unusual: I have historically had no opinion on the death penalty. I have received comments before from people to whom I have told this that indicate their heightened level of disbelief at their discovery of that fact, and perhaps rightfully so. ...
Personal Finance > Credit Cards Should teens have credit cards?: 30 of 47

Allow me to first clarify my position. Yes, teens ought to have credit cards, but onlyas a credit building tool so that they may be in a better financial position upon graduation. Credit cards, when used sparingly and responsibly can be a very good thing. The more responsible you prove yourself to be, the more willing lender...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Choosing the 2008 Presidential candidate: 41 of 61

To be quite honest, I am exhausted. Or rather, my ears have been inundated by the exhausted stories about this year's presidential candidates. Hey, Al Gore, would you please invent the time machine so we can go back to the Iowa caucus and begin anew? Thanks. Moving on. The excitement that once flowed within me (about 3 month...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Should voters have to pass a civics test to be able to vote?: 3 of 4

It has been apparent for some time now, especially this year that nearly all Americans are too uneducated or misinformed to cast an intelligent vote. This phenomenon seemed to be the 10,000 pound elephant in the room leading up to the 2008 Presidential Election. I knew it, much of my family knew it. But the Networks refused ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sensuality: 36 of 42

The Temptress Her locks the hue of the amber flame Mesmerizing, addicitng, just the same So captivated was I , that I never asked her name She hooked me with an angelic glow And glistened like light on the fresh white snow Then she passed and I watched her go. 'Til from my eye she felt my stare and walked e'er slowly toward ...
Business > Small & Home Business The Quixtar cult: 5 of 5

Allow me to start by granting some points already stated in the other authors' opinions. Yes, there are many fanatical Quixtar IBOs who go a little crazy as far as getting people to join up. Second, there are entire Quixtar organizations that train their new IBOs to be fanatical. Many even have their own "church" services on...
