He did not make an apology, but instead an acknowledge of not knowing what was going on because of the job he had. I can understand this for people sitting in offices. Where are they going to hear about things like this? On the news and if not on the news? where? However, president Cllinton was as his name suggest, the president, he knew about it, but he did not know what to do about it. There is no way he was unaware of the genocide. However, i think he should have just admitted that he knew about it, but America did not know what actions to take, but once America wanted to help we did our best. That would have been better, because another country cannot hold another for not helping them.

Ahh, I dont know how i feel about this. However, I do think whatever we socialize as a nation becomes acceptable. So, since marijuana is the new "push" people want it to be legal. I also agree with decriminalizing the punishment with regards to marijana. But I disagree with having bigger punishments for traffing of marijuana because it will already be legal. If we can traffic a bunch of tomatoes, why not a whole alot of marijuana? My point is, if it is legal then it is legal and if it is illegal, then it is illegal. But eradicate all these double standards!

I always wonder what my position would be if my father was a CEO for one of these health insurance companies or if my mother was a CFO for an insurance company. Would I have different beliefs about the healthcare system? Would I be against healthcare reform? Why would I be against it? Why wouldn't I want everyone to be able to be treated if they were sick? I want to see prohibitions against insurers discriminating against people because they were sick before(pre-existing conditions). Why cant somone be sick before? I want people to use preventive services and wellness plans,like Obama said. But why does everyone not want this? Maybe some people will say, well, that is your emotions speaking and your not considering all the affects a system like that could have on the system. But why is the system valued over someone's health? For some issues and problems, not all, emotions should play a part, morality should be important, and the valuing of a life should be more important than making money!

Whenever I hear anything bad I always hope that immigrants were not involved or were not the cause because they are the easiest to blame. Especially, if someone is an immigrant from a particular country, we alwyas hope they are not from our country. This is with race too, I always hope they are not black or a woman or any other trait that would link them to me!

Everyone does this, so they can be accepted or not looked at as an outsider!

It is a life cycle, until someone beat the ODDS(rarely).

Never! Jay won this battle :) Supa Ugly!!

Game wants to be Jay z. Simply, the game has not been the same since he left GUNIT. If he attacks rap hero, its nothing because the hero wont even respond. Jay z started a new trend by not responding to rappers or by subliminally mentioning them. With his age, i think maturity is also apart of his resistance not to respond to the game, but rap is a young man's sport. Jay z is getting old in their eyes!

This is true. Monorities are always left out of decision making. Those in power think that minorities do not know how to think critically and do not understand decision process. However, is it all about how smart we are? Or is it about making the best decision for the betterment of the polis? Minorities and people with low income bring something else to the table that the affluents dont. Diversity of ideas and polices is the best way for empowered participation to acually be empowered. Similar to the Hobson's choice- a list of options will already determine how people think and will make an option the only reaasonable possibility.

In Washington, the aim of health-care reform is not just to extend medical coverage to everybody but also to bring costs under control. Spending on doctors, hospitals, drugs, and the like now consumes more than one of every six dollars they earn." grant everyone universal healthcare, but everyone will have to purchase healthcare. Another goal is to create a new state based insurance where insurance companies cannot deny anyone with pre-existing conditions. Finally, to help uninsured and small businesses to purchase insurance as well as an expansion of the public programs such as Medicaid.

This makes sense.Hispanic Americans tend to have less insurance coverage than white Americans and receive less regular medical care. The level of insurance coverage is directly correlated with the level of access to healthcare including preventative and ambulatory care.Because most minorities are without insurance, they are most likely to not have medical care, and are unable to provide themselves with prescriptions medicine. It is no secret that minority groups have insurance coverage at a lower rate than whites determined by income and welfare. Because of the high cost, many families have cancelled their insurance and now pay out of their pockets; meaning they only go to the doctor when there is an obvious sickness. Like, Mike Freida highlighted, the rich towns have the things they need and the poor dont. Why is that?

I must say I do thin we elevate power over good. We al want to have some sort of power. That is why students run for student body president, capatain of sports teams, head of church ministries, director of admissions and etc. Ofcourse, not people do it for the power, some actually do it to bring about change. However, similar to Weiss's statement about OWS, being a mission to change the mindsets of Americans, there is a dominant of mindsets who thin power is the ultimate goal!

This is true. We develop our own beliefs and justifications for why things happen or why they are the way they are. A person see Virgin Mary and another sees Micheal Jordan is just a connection to our inner beliefs. What makes it important to us? How do we put a face to something? It reminds me of precedents in court, because they are use to make future decisions. We make connections in our minds to explain certain things!
