“Non-Religious Bible Classes”? You’re Kidding, Right?
Apr 23, 2008 - 03:04 pmThe State attorney general has put the seal of approval on Bible classes as long as they do not endorse any particular religion.
(Roll eyes here).
Evidently they want to teach the Bible’s impact on literature, art and politics in these classes. Actually, if THAT is all they want, those aspects of the Bible’s influence are already addressed in art class, English literature, and political science. So a specific class that addresses the non-religious aspects of the Bible without endorsing Christianity (roll here) are not needed, in addition to being completely ridiculous.
So what is Herron trying to accomplish? Is there really NOTHING else to work on in our public schools? Really? (Big fat eye roll here)
Posted by Jody Lee Got Gas?
Apr 23, 2008 - 03:04 pm$5 a gallon isn’t minor. Especially for folks like me who spend a lot of time on the road. But a car is not something we can do without. We may slow down on the highway to save gas (I have). We can try to consolidate short trips from 3 or 4 into one. (I have) We can carpool when possible (for many like myself, that just isn’t practical or, often, possible). We might try coasting to a stop when reasonable and not punching the gas, but instead building speed gradually (I’m working on it.)
But these are minor actions that do not do a whole lot to help this major problem. It’s like bailing water out of your sinking boat with a teaspoon. It’s better than nothing, but not by much.
Pensylvania Primary – A Local Day-Long Discussion As the Fun Unfolds
Apr 22, 2008 - 06:04 amRacing for Answers (The Race Non-Issue)
Apr 03, 2008 - 11:04 pmWhile you are thinking, keep in mind that laws are in place that make discrimination in housing, in the workplace, and in service institutions illegal. Should someone be on the receiving end of this illegal discrimination, there are a host of programs in place through which the discriminatee can obtain free legal representation.
We have a myriad of government programs in place to assist persons who are not Caucasian in attaining grants for college. Our learning institutions and work places are not simply encouraged, but required by the EEO to hire/admit a particular number of non-Caucasians.
What’s That I Smell? (Limbaugh, Clinton & Fear – Oh, My!)
Apr 03, 2008 - 11:04 pmPoliticians – not to mention the media – can smell fear. And although that is the last thing Bill wanted to convey in this email, that may indeed be the unintended result.
Not that it matters. Simply by virtue of the fact that she is a Clinton, it is hard to imagine that she will drop out of the race, regardless of the fact that the unthinkable has happened – the media has deserted her in favor of their new pet, Obama. I think those who are writing her candidacy off at this point are being a little too hasty.
There are some other things in the Democratic race for the nomination that smell funny as well. Take a deep breath and read on…
