By Johnny P. Flynn

…eeply offensive “s” word which is historically connected to the rape and sexual exploitation of Indian women. During the Vietnam War the US military referred to indigenous-controlled territory as “Indian Country.” Fire bases and military operations were named after Indian leaders or significant events in the longest war in human history, the war against the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

Against Democracy? You Bet!

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…n. Yes, the two movements are different – but there are similarities. For example, when the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia in 1967 that inter-racial marriage was legal under the Constitution, polls showed a majority of Americans still opposed it. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed, it certainly didn’t mean racism ended immediately in the country. The majority of people were still racist and many had to be sued—to have a court…

…me that people may be treating the Cylons differently depending on what mix of code and law they believe governs their behavior. And of course, those of you who study religion may have a good deal to say about the centrality of free will (i.e. law over code) in different religious traditions.

Hyman in fact seems to work for the website, although his actual role is unclear—a recent bio says that he is part of its “Financial Brain Trust.” “A wise man looks well into a matter,” Proverbs, and Hyman, reminds us. While I wouldn’t make any claims to wisdom, I will say that I…

By Joseph Mayton

…n the Coptic community who felt it was an attack against the Coptic Orthodox Church based in Alexandria. But critics have argued that the book is a historical piece that means to deal with religion generally, using Christianity as a base for the narrative.
