…tion of Human Rights. The U.N. Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and “to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories.” Whether I agreed with the charter of the United Nations, I thought it might be interesting to review all 3…

… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …

…fice to made, whether adults or the children should shoulder an injustice, many a culture will always vote for the adults to volunteer. These cultures will survive. One must explore the ill effects of diminished excellence in education in Los Angeles over many decades, the lack of strong parental involvement (PTA et al) in a community that was hampered by the specter of “illegal immigration”, an internalized message of a fear of discovery and dee…

…hate is nothing more now than a crutch, a victim mentality that allows people to blame everyone else but themselves for their problems. If you have gold teeth, a “thug life” tattoo on your neck, and a third grade education, let me clue you in… it’s not because you’re black that you didn’t get the job… And murder is a hate crime no matter what color your skin is. You don’t kill someone because you …

This included helping with children’s college education. This is the same Romney who along with his sons saved the lives of a family involved in a boating accident along with the family dog (just in case you still think that Romney hates dogs). And this is the same Ro…

…s organization can or cannot do, especially, when the religion’s dogma specifically says otherwise?” Whether some members of the Catholic Church are imperfect and ignore their dogma is irrelevant. Again, a little education is in order. The First Amendment to our Constitution states, whether liberals want to accept it or not; “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise …

…esult has been slow growth in job creation and as already mentioned higher prices. Kotkin wrote, “Over the past decade the Golden State has grown its middle-skilled jobs (those that require two years or more of post-secondary education) by a mere 2 percent compared to a 5.3 percent increase nationwide, and almost 15 percent in Texas.

…ere she is sent. She believed she was sent to visit me and Susan for a reason. Being a nurse, she was able to assess my condition, giving us her opinion of what our course of action should be and we were able to give her an education on a disease she was not familiar with. On Friday, I gathered enough strength to get up and eat a bowl of raisin bran cereal. Angelina on her way to work stopped by McDonald’s and picked up a breakfast wrap and co…

I can remember just like it was yesterday hearing Mr. Vita coming over the PA system stating, “Mr. Cervone and Mr. Fusco, please leave the building!” I don’t have an extensive education and didn’t retire from the military as other’s serving on council have.
