Lauren Zuniga, To the Oklahoma Lawmakers: a poem

added by Cinders

The Oklahoma ultrasound law she refers to has been legally challenged, but many others just like it are being passed in several states.

Sappp So I just watched this and was in tears. This is exactly what I mean every time I tell people 'So you're against abortion in all cases, but do you realise what that means for rape victims?' only this conveys the message a lot better than I ever could. Thank you, for bringing this woman to my attention (that the second poet I discovered thanks to you, Suheir Hammad being the other. Love her)

Cinders XD! They're both brilliant, aren't they, especially Hammad. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I go on YouTube and listen to slam poetry. What, doesn't everyone do that on YouTube? What else is on that site, anyway? I hear there's something about a panda sneezing? ;o)

Sappp The first time I listened to Hammad (first writing since) I spent almost three hours listening/watching Def Poetry movies. One done - click next - and next etc. Lots of good ones, but Hammad is the best IMO.

Cinders I agree, I really love her stuff. Hers, and Sarah Kay's stuff I find really touching and powerful. Sarah Kay is more uplifting than Suheir Hammad. I really love "Hands" and "If I Should Have a Daughter." "First Writing Since," I do believe, is my favorite piece of Hammad's. But I also really like "Not Your Erotic, Not Your Exotic." XD

Capital Punishment: Inneffective

Young Abolitionist

In most people’s minds, April 8th 2002 was a день like any other. But on that день луч, рэй Krone was released from death row in Arizona. DNA evidence had proven him innocent of the 1991 murder of a bartender in Phoenix. Mr. Krone was special because he was the 100th person released from death row since 1973 after new evidence had proven him innocent (“A Вопрос of Innocence”). Throughout many years, the death penalty has been a controversial issue that calls into Вопрос a number of factors. The death penalty is ineffective at deterring criminals, keeping costs down...

Why Math Should NOT be a Requirement After High School

posted by zanhar1

So being as math is the bane of my existence right now and I've finally snapped and nothing is left of my motivation in regards to math but a manifestation of pure rage and anger I am going to rant еще about how much I hate math. I have grown to hate it so much that I am now putting effort and energy into my hatred of it. So I will now continue my venting and raging about why students shouldn't have to suffer like so.That сказал(-а) parts of this are going to be taken from my Комментарий over on my 'is math necessary' poll.

So being as горький about math as I've grown to be, I've done quite a bit of research...

How Ты can donate to the Westboro Baptist Church

posted by DarkSarcasm

Just kidding. Below are a few Вопросы I’ve attempted to answer about the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). This isn’t formal research, just a few points that I believe need to be brought to attention.

What is this ‘Westboro Baptist Church’ Ты speak of?
The fine folks at Wikipedia have summarized that in far fewer words than I ever could have, so if Ты are unfamiliar with the WBC, I would suggest Чтение the first paragraph link.

How does a church from Kansas have enough money to send members to protest all over the US?
Since the WBC classifies itself as a church, they are not required...
