31. An Angry Democrat Speaks Out
    
    
    If my party does not come to a fair decision which is inclusive to Florida and Michigan – I will no longer consider myself a member of the Democratic Party. Even thought I was raised a Democrat and raised my children as Democrats – I will turn my back on the party of my birth. Senator Obama is the one holding up the decision. Well, it is


32. Who Is Playing The Race Card?
    
    
    Wall Street Journal Week in Review on Fox News said that Obama is playing the race card. The next show Beltway Boys also on Fox news said Clinton is playing the race card. Hey Fox – you can’t have it both ways. Let’s examine what racist statements have allegedly been said. President Clinton said that when a black candidate is running in


33. I Report - You Decide
    
    
    I have found some interesting facts while watching C-Span last night. The minority leader of the Florida legislature was on. He said that every state which moved up their primaries were originally told that their votes would not count but after a DNC meeting in Atlanta, these same states were granted an exemption except for Michigan and


34. Open Letter to Senator Clinton & Senator Obama
    
    
    Are both of you crazy? If you both keep up the gender and race issues, you just might as well hold the door open for President McCain as he moves into the White House. I am so disappointed in both of you. I am one of the unheard voices that I expect both of you to be listening to. But you can’t be listening if you are so busy apologizing for


35. Gender Bias vs Race Bias Still Alive In America?
    
    
    Afro-Americans are lining up behind Obama and white females over 50 are lining up behind Hillary and both demographics are threatening to walk out of the Denver convention if their candidate is not the nominee. Now if this isn’t an example of gender and race bias, then I don’t know what it is. As events in this last week have shown, any


36. Gender Bias vs Race Bias Still Alive In America?
    
    
    Afro-Americans are lining up behind Obama and white females over 50 are lining up behind Hillary and both demographics are threatening to walk out of the Denver convention if their candidate is not the nominee. Now if this isn’t an example of gender and race bias, then I don’t know what it is. It seems the Democrats can screw-up a “two


37. Hillary and Obama: Where Are The Issues?
    
    
    Recent elections have rarely been as heated as the '08 race for the Democratic nomination between freshman Illinois Senator Barack Obama and New York Senator Hillary Clinton. From the televised bickering of their national debates to the recent jabs over NAFTA, the fight has hung on tiny margins several times throughout their respective campaigns.


38. Restoring the Great America
    
    
    The phrase "taxation without representation" should be familiar to any student of American history. The colonies that would eventually form the foundations of our great nation felt the heavy burden of British taxes. The mother country remorselessly levied these sanctions to its far flung American citizens. Citizens that carried no weight in


39. The '08 Election and Free Trade
    
    
    The Presidential candidates for the 2008 election are setting records for primary voter turnout and, especially in the Democratic wing, trying hard to differentiate themselves to discouraged voters with a myriad of sound-byte barrages. Whether the Democratic candidate chosen to run for President is Illinois Senator Barack Obama or New York


40. The Other Amis
    
    
    “I see it differently.” Says Ronan Bennet, “Amis's views are symptomatic of a much wider and deeper hostility to Islam and intolerance of otherness”. Ronan Bennet sees it differently. Good for him. Otherness is exactly what Amis his been banging on about in the ‘world-flash’ post 9/11. Ronan Bennet. A writer of piss poor prose.


41. Irrelevant News and Celebrities More Important than Mortgage Foreclosure Crisis
    
    
    Watching the news, it is hard to believe that there is any major problem with the US economy. Or, if there is a problem it is hard to understand why it is more important than the entertainment section or the sport commentary. In fact, I'm finding it more difficult to differentiate between economics, politics, sports, and entertainment in the


42. The Myth of NASCAR Redneck Politics
    
    
    G.O.P. candidate Rudy Giuliani made an appearance at Daytona International Speedway over the weekend announcing - "I want a ride in a pace car." Giuliani spoke to reporters in the garage stall of Rusty Wallace Racing, wanting to climb in one of the team's race cars. Rudy was denied the opportunity because, according to Rusty Wallace, Giuliani

44. There is No Business Like Political Show Business
    
    
    Sen. Obama trotted out Oprah. Sen. Clinton put her family on display, including former President Bill, and she teared up in New Hampshire. These are just the warm ups for the main political show of election 2008. Gov. Huckabee had Chuck Norris at his side at numerous events. The Chuck Norris appearance with Gov. Huckabee was not as

46. The Mayans Government
    
    
    Government played a central role in the development of the Mayas. The ruler of the Mayan country was the halach uinic. The post was inherited, usually inherited from father to his senior son but at times to other relatives from the regal family. If there were no members of the regal family, the council might choose some other halach uinic. The

    The second administrator of the settlement in Panama was known as Castilla del Oro, whose name was Pedro de Avila. He grew to be famous as " Pedrarias the Cruel," and finally accused Balboa with disloyalty to his country. Soon Balboa was captured, moved to Pedrarias, and put to death. In two years in 1519 Pedrarias made his mind up to transfer his

51. Machu Picchu’s Artefacts
    
    
    Machu Picchu, the City of the Incas, used to have thousands of artefacts available for Peruvian archeologists to examine. But this chance was denied as Hiram Bingham shipped most of the artefacts to the United States of America. In 1911 Bingham discovered Machu Picchu. One year after he was shipping the artefacts were loaned to Yale University. The


52. A Brief Overview of the Positive and Negative Results of the Bourbon’s Reforms
    
    
    Unnecessary to state that the Bourbon reforms engineered the expand dissatisfaction in Spanish America. It is to my mind that as a result the Bourbons reached is the opposite one of what they aimed. Though they got a financial benefit the monarchy oppressed the nation by their boundaries and finally lost the total control. An ineffectual attempt to


53. Castro’s Background
    
    
    Very few is known about Fidel Castro's family. In Cuba, unlike most communist countries a 'cult of the leader' was never promoted. In fact Castro fought what we may call a reverse cult of the leader; his regime promoted dead and burred revolutionary heroes such as Che Guevera and Camilo Cienfuegos on everything from statues to pendants sold to

55. Che Guevara as a Talented Soldier
    
    
    Guevara's most important role in the revolutions achievement was really unchallengeable from his position in the preparation and headship of the guerrilla army that surpassed Batista's one in effectiveness, inspiration and regulation. Guevara joined Castro revolutionary force as a doctor and in the position of lieutenant. Nevertheless Guevara's


56. Che Guevara’s Impact
    
    
    Che Guevara was the person who played a key role not just in the revolutionary wave in 1959 but in the communal revolution as well which turned Cuba into a Socialist state.

    Australia enjoys one of the world's healthiest economies and uppermost principles of living but a financial depression struck in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Businesses across the state suffered and lots of companies lay off workers or closed down totally. As jobs became in short supply, the recession revived the enquiry of migration. The


58. The Soviets’ Plan
    
    
    In 1962 the USSR decided to locate their missiles in Cuba. Castro allowed such kind of actions on the Cuban territory being against American imperialism. The Soviets’ plan was gone through.
