Happy Birthday, America July 04, 2004
I have long believed that the guiding hand of Providence did not create this new nation of America for ourselves alone, but for a higher cause: the preservation and extension of the sacred fire of human liberty. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of these United States are covenants we have made not only with ourselves, but with all... Posted by ceb into Off topic

While we get a number of hits from search engines (Alfie Kohn is our most popular search), and we get... Posted by ceb into Off topic

No Soda for Philly Schoolkids January 17, 2004
We see (by way of Number 2 Pencil) that Daryl Cobranchi questions the Philadelphia school district's decision to remove soda machines from school cafeterias. Noting that the machines will still be available in faculty lounges, he writes, "I guess fat teachers are ok. What a stupidly mixed message." One of his commenters, a homeschooler, says of her daughter, "I'm glad... Posted by ceb into Off topic

Ten Great Things About America December 12, 2003
10 Great Things About America by Dinesh D'Souza, July 4, 2002 In the aftermath of last September's terrorist attack, we've heard a great deal about "why they hate us" and about why America is so bad.
