Special thanks to Eric on Memory Lane. It was admirable that this young man, 22, university student, took the time and trouble to back up his car to pick up my dad, bleeding, who fell on Halloween night. He was a bloody mess. More ... It was a bittersweet election night. Our country seemed to mature and evolve before our very misty eyes. Did America just overwhelmingly elect a black man to the most powerful position in the world?

I don't understand why so many of the people wanting to pass Proposition 8 make this a religious issue.

More ... LVUSD teachers: ya' done good. As election mania was in full force, kids all over our community were discussing issues, understanding the process, and even doing "kid votes" in our schools. More ... Just as physical exercise is good for the body, First Amendment exercise is good for democracy. The Acorn Letters to the Editor section gives you an excellent opportunity to put your freedom of speech to work by voicing opinions, thoughts and concerns on any matter you wish. More ...
