.... deserve swift and certain punishment. Their acts are despicable. Unfortunately, a new form of McCarthyism is welling up in the aftermath of this crime, and it is despicable, too. Ignoring the pleas of grieving father Dennis Shepard not to "use [his son] Matt as part of an agenda," homosexual organizations have rushed to exploit young Shepard's tragic death in Wyoming. A number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and "transgendered" groups are blaming anti-gay organizations; the Family Research Council; and other pro-family, Christian organizations for this heinous assault. Many in the media have joined in the slander, making charges that .....

.... eat more than women. United States law mandates that both complete a certain amount of schooling. Both must toil through the identity crisis of adolescence, followed by the mid- life crisis of aging, and lastly, the mortality crisis in their elder years. There is a great possibility that both must appropriate wealth, provided they are not substinence farmers living in some foreign country that does not tax (In which case, the man would slave away in the fields from dusk until dawn while the woman would wash a dish, tie their eighteen ignorant children down to a chair and show them the beauty of using a hula-hoe). Men and wom .....

.... of homelessness over the past 15-20 years. These two trends include the growing shortage of affordable rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty. How many people are homeless throughout the world? The number of homeless is made up of 58% African American, 29% Caucasian, 10% Hispanic, 2% Native American, 1% Asian. Who is to blame for homelessness? As much as I would like to blame someone else other than the homeless people, they have a lot to do with it. Most of the homeless are out on the streets due to the loss of jobs and unfinished schooling. Without a good education these people can't succeed in life. There .....

.... places, and sporting an outrageous hairdo, considers himself very attractive indeed. Yet, so do the tall, smartly dressed businesspersons with their suit, tie, and white handkerchief. Men and women of the Victorian era, when women's ankles were not even permitted to be exposed, would surely be shocked at the revealing outfits that have been donned by members of today's society. In other words, one's perception of beauty is greatly influenced by the surrounding environment and the social groups to which he belongs. Yet, whatever one's perception of beauty, one thing is the same. This is that all have taken great pains about the .....

.... is considered to be a racist by some his well know novels The word censor comes from the Latin censere, which means "to count," as well as "to assess" or "estimate." Censorship is the control of communication between people. It's the restriction of viewing material due to its content. Censorship takes place when a person looks at a material and decides that the material is not suitable for others to see. The person disregards the other person's right to be able to view the material and passes judgement on it. The educational value of the material is usually forgotten and the focus of the material is turned to its negative .....

.... say that they love another is to respect them and their ideas and to want to share with them. The most anyone can ever do for you is listen, and the only way to do that is to communicate that you want to be listened to and that you are willing to listen to the one you love. That is the most anyone can do, and it is a gift of sorts. What is the greatest thing about human love? Being in love gives a sense of completeness, makes one feel as if nothing else is needed in order to survive. Sometimes, being in love can act as a stepping stone, or a doorway into a world you never knew was out there. It can give you a new outlook o .....

.... teen is very sleepy and aggressive. Most under-rested teens are angered very quickly. School work also leads to a lack of free time. If a teen is always working, he or she will have very little time to do anything else. This leaves desires unfulfilled and hobbies unpracticed. For example, if a teenage girl enjoys playing the piano but does not receive academic credits for playing, she then finds very little time to play after she has completed her required assignments. Then she has this love and talent inside her that is burning to be released, but she has no time to satisfy it. The schoolwork can also lead to mental strai .....

.... to get people to buy flowers. Buying flowers shows one's affection. Holidays such as Valentine's Day emphasize the need to show that special someone how admired they really are. Courtship allows people to continuously grow closer and learn new things about each other. Whether it is giving a sweetheart a dozen roses, or an "I love you" now and then, courtship is what keeps the flame alive between romantic partners. Love binds all romantic relationships. Without love they would not exist. George Hebert shows the benefits of love in relationships in this quotation that states "Love makes all hard hearts gentle." This .....

.... each other. “ In a recent poll, 11% of whites thought that blacks were lazy, yet 76% of blacks think whites think they are lazy” (“color” 41). It is this kind of misunderstanding that racism thrives on. If we work harder to understand each other better, racism would have a harder time existing. There is no doubt that we need to find a solution to racism. It has torn this country apart, and the aftermath of this invisible enemy will be devastating if something is not done to stop it. Before this country can become truly great, a solution must be found and racism eliminated. In America there seems to be a major pr .....

.... way to become part of the American experience. They didn't need, nor did they demand, any laws requiring acceptance into society. Kindness, tolerance and respect are things that can only be earned, not handed down by legislative decree. Those things mandated by law never reach into the fiber of our country. They never take root in our psyches. In fact, as we have too often seen, legislative decrees that mandate how we should act or feel lead to only more dissension and divisiveness. Great strides have been taken on the road to equality. Despite claims to the contrary, women have more opportunity now to succeed than ever before. .....
