As Bush walks out the door, I'm reminded that no other TV show has attempted to persuade Americans into the Bush Administration account on world events as the show 24. The show 24 is undeniably the single largest propaganda tool in the history of American television.

The following is a paper I wrote this past semester for Sociology. This instructor was a much easier instructor than some of my others, so this was just thrown together in a couple of hours, after reading the book of course.

Just thought I'd tell everyone that my g/f and I voted early today, here in beautiful Orange County NC. It was a breeze. Walked in, voted and walked out, all in a span of about 10 minutes.

Former Iowa Republican Rep. Jim Leach endorsed Barack Obama on Tuesday, saying that the Illinois senator's platform is rooted in "old American values that are as much a part of the Republican as the Democratic tradition."
"According to a new study published on Monday in the Archives of Internal Medicine, running has been found to help you live longer, and prevent the effects of aging."
Awhile back I had written an article about religion, I write a lot of these types of articles, whereby I had stated that I do in fact believe in God, had in fact never been able to call myself an Atheist, although I had called myself an Agnostic over the years, and that I do grea …

I live in a neighborhood which just happens to be home to a Catholic Parish. Because of my close proximity to this supposed pinnacle of piety, I have the opportunity to see daily examples of people who are Christian, Hypocritical, Offensive, Aristocratic, and Dumb.
There are people in the world who are seeing their children murdered, their loved ones raped, their parents tortured, and their homes destroyed, but these privileged @!$%#s feel the need to ask God to cut them a break when they fill up their @!$%#ing SUVs.
"When I was young, and discovered science fiction through the works of John W Campbell, I dreamt of seeing the Sun from another world. Next best thing, and the only way I will manage it. But I can still dream that one day Mankind will live elsewhere. And I do."
We fancy ourselves superior beings, but continue to prove our primitiveness by failing to embrace our interconnectivity.
When Chad and Keri McCartney say their infant daughter, Macie Hope, is born again, they aren't referring to religion — the month-old miracle baby really was born twice.
A few months ago, while I was taking a much needed hiatus away from Newsvine, I discovered Vox a blogging site put together by Six Apart. Click on the link and you will be taken to my Vox page. I am Phaedrus72 there, too.

We created this website because we believe the historical, Biblically documented teachings of Jesus Christ clearly show that Jesus is a Liberal.
"What are my convictions worth if I don't have good reasons to back them up?" said Andrew Clapham, a Boston University College of Arts and Sciences junior who studies philosophy. "I see philosophy as a means to the truth, which is not some arbitrary answer to a tough riddle.
A New York Times story last week documented the apparently widespread trend of more college students majoring in philosophy. The story cited several examples of universities where the number of philosophy majors had swollen by as much as 50 percent or more in the past five years.
Just a few more months people until we will have a sympathetic President, one who is sympathetic to these issues.
After reading his post "Why I'm a social liberal democrat" I must admit that I have a respect for him. Being a moderate republican myself I have differing viewpoints to some of his writing, but am pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness of his ideas and writings. I would love the opportunity to both debate and compare ideas with him anytime. While I would generally call a social liberal democrat an opponent I would be honored and proud to call him a friend.
I first saw Phaedrus72 in action on a thread about evolution. A jaw dropping finale left me speechless. I never want to be on the wrong side of an argument with him unless I have my facts 100% down pat and probably not then.

I've only been on Newsvine a short time, but have already had several run-ins with Phaedrus72.
In that time, I have learned that Phaedrus72 will not take any crap from anyone, and demands every allegation or claim posted be backed up with sources and facts.
When arguing his own points, he always has his own facts and arguments in order, and has a ready rebuttal for nearly everything you can throw at him. You need to be quick on your toes and have all your ducks in a row if you're to stand any chance in a debate with Phaedrus72.
We need more of that not just on Newsvine, but everywhere in the world.
How can I consider my comments on others' columns anywhere near complete without a word here on Phaedru72's page?
Phaedrus72, the contributor formerly known as Dreamweavr72, is one of our earliest, and most colorful users. He was in on the ground floor. While many of us have had our skirmishes with him, myself included, I have to admit that it just wouldn't be the same around here without this fella. Whether he's mercilessly duking it out with Liberals, getting (sometimes unfairly) scrutinized by Yours Truly for reacting to another's provocation, reinventing himself or spinning a tale about aspirations to a new career in truck driving.... it's never a dull moment with our friend Phaedrus72. Perhaps no other user has portrayed themselves on such a personal and candid level. We can't fault you for being you, brother.
