    The "best" article there, I believe, was the one on Light Pollution, the worst form of environmental pollution. It's far more serious than degredation of air and water quality, because Light Pollution prevents Americans from seeing the stars. Other forms of pollution aren't really bad at all, they were just made up by evil foreign terrorist nations who want to control the US with evil powers like the Kyoto Protocol.

    Yes, gotta cut down on that excess light.

    Well, light pollution is not nice but...I don't see it as a ver big problem, really.

    But well, that site is a comedy goldmine. There's also an attempt of justification to the coupe d'etat in Chile, where CIA was so nice to help. Yet, after that, he says he is against fascism.

    But isn't it fun to read and feel intelligent?

Effects linger from one generation to the next, it's an undeniable fact. If your father was poor, uneducated and abused, you're going to have a poor and uneducated uprbringing - add to that the knowledge that your circumstances are due to the colour of your skin... my point is made, I think.
    But, Look at a state like Vermont where There was NEVER slavery. It was put into the constitution that slaves were illigal. Why should people who's familys even be made to pay? And my father was poor and uneducated and I am not. Most of my fathers side of the family are dairy farmers who have a high school education at most and yest seem to still lead a happy life and beable to provide for there familys.
