What is it like tonight for an old Civil Rights actvist from the 1960s?

2008-11-04T16:32:00.003-06:00

What's it like for me, as an old Civil rights Activist from the 1960s to experience this moment, November 4, 2008, as we await the results of this election? It is almost unbelievable. I broke the color line repeatedly as a young white teen-ager riding buses, trains and street cars. I was in the U. S. Army as a Private when in 1948 for the first time barracks were integrated. In Central

This past Tuesday, in my Midway College Senior Seminar on Leadership (HRM $A(@), I instructed my students to try to turm off the sound during the dabate and simply observe the body language of the two candidates. What a contrast last night between McCain and Obama. Whenever Obama was speaking, there was McCain grimacing, rolling his eyes, looking shocked, but when McCain attacked Obama, Obama

The Shaman who Became a Storyteller. Paschal Baute. Once upon a time, long time ago, there was a young shaman, called against his will to be a shaman for his tribe. He was to be a go-between, between ordinary reality and the Upper World and the Lower World. He would be a mediator, a bridge-builder, between worlds. He was taken for rigorous training with older shamans. He endured years of study

Why Are Republicans Hiding Sarah Palin?

2008-09-06T05:31:00.002-05:00

Why Are Republicans Hiding Sarah Palin?Are Republicans afraid if we discover who Sarah Palin is, her actual record, then both they, she and McCain will be embarrassed and possibly ridiculed? Apparently they are determined to keep her from a press conference. Is it sexist to insist that Governor Palin be given the same tough scrutiny that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have survived? Should

ALASKA’S BEAUTY QUEEN VEEPCount on one thing from Beauty Queens: they have often gotten ahead through their looks. The world owes them something. They expected to be catered to and they are.As Mayor of Wasilla, (population 6,715) she fired the Police Chief and Library Director for not supporting her in her 1996 race for Mayor.

McCann is not pandering

2008-09-01T03:05:00.003-05:00

I do not believe McCain is pandering to women or conservative men by selecting a photogenic former beauty queen to be his Vice Presidential nominee. Cindy McCain says Palin has national defense experience because Alaska is close to Russia. That is good enough for me.So what if Palin professed desire to renew Federal funding for the "Bridge To Nowhere," many times before bragging the opposite at
