This is a sad state of affairs. Walt Williams is one of my favorites, and being a black journalist, knows what he's talking about here.
Walter E. Williams: Black Colleges
The Lincoln Review, a Washington-based black think tank, published an article titled "What Does the Future Hold for Historically Black Colleges?" in its September/October 2007 edition.
Being a proponent of capital punishment, I found this article to be quite interesting.
Bill Murchison: Pain, Suffering, and Capital Punishment
Such is the state of modern society that the U.S. Supreme Court gets the job of deciding how much pain the victim of capital punishment feels -- never mind what kind of pain the victim's victims may have felt.
Mike Adams has me laughing again. Right when I believe gays are born the way they are, here's a professor teaching them on how to "become" gay. Okay, I'm aware of which way the swing, but which way are we to accept them, as being born gay and can't help it (what they've preached for decades), or is it really a choice?
Mike S. Adams: ENG 317: "How Not To Be Gay"
I?ve been studying higher education for a long time, but I?ve never seen anything quite as queer as a new course being taught at the University of Michigan. Section Two of English 317 is titled ?How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation.?
MICHIGAN GUN LAWS
This is for all you Second Amendment protestors. Six years ago, Michigan made it much easier to get a license to carry a concealed weapon. Since then, the number of Michigan residents carrying legal concealed weapons has increased more than six-fold. The usual anti-gun rhetoric would tell us that there much be a lot of increased violence in Michigan. We're sure that every morning the police are busy picking up the bodies that are scattered about ... victims of gun-wielding citizens.
Sorry .. .the typical anti-gun rhetoric would be wrong.
According to law enforcement officials, the incidence of violent crime in Michigan since the law went into effect has been below the rate of the previous six years. In other words, there was less crime once citizens were able to arm themselves. The overall incidence of death from firearms has also gone down. The police chief says that the general consensus is that things were not as bad as they expected.
Well that's not surprising. After all, studies of concealed weapons laws show that crime rates reduce when citizens are allowed easier access to concealed weapons. What does the gun control lobby have to say about those statistics?
Good WSJ article on Voter ID laws.
Voter ID laws? What's the problem with asking a voter to prove who they are before they cast a vote? Who could possibly object?
