The UN has finally imposed sanctions on somebody in Sudan!
They are imposing sanctions are against four Sudanese nationals accused of war crimes.
This is the first time anybody has been held accountable for atrocities in Sudan.

I just finished my Pope essay and it is printing out right now.  I switched my topic from nature and art in Pope's work to Pope's view of women.  His attitude towards women can be easily summarized: they are vain and trivail.  I think he looked at almost everyone in the world with this attitude.  Pope was shorter than Katie and had a hunchback from ( Read more... )

I really like Jimmy Carter.  I wish I could get a hold of more audio clips of his speeches.  He actually cares about human rights around the world and really seeking peace.  He just got back from monitoring an election in Liberia.

I read Freakanomics this weekend and really enjoyed it.  Basically what I learned from it was that crack set the ( Read more... )
