Stopped into a local restaurant late, you took a look around, You'd hardly made any noise, you'd hardly made any sound, But you still felt their eyes upon you, and their prodding stare, You hung your head low, you slunk back to the rear, and took a chair; Picked yourself the smallest table you could find, a table just for tw...

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Is America ready for a black president?: 1 of 67

With as many problems that are known to exist within the American public school system, is there an abyss deep enough, the depths of which it hasn't already sunk?

Excerpt from The Odyssey of Sheila O'Brien There she is! cried Head Mistress Bailey. The policeman she hailed earlier sped back toward her, and seeing Sheila at the far end of the hall gave chase, blowing his whistle. Bailey followed directly. Oh, God, no, gasped Sheila.

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Dictatorship is Republicanism Always: 2 of 16
All hail Republicanism! Actually, the statement proposed as the title for this article is an absolute contradiction in terms.

What is dictator... More..
