I don’t for one-second question that President Obama's emotions when he spoke to the nation and then to the people of Newtown were totally heartfelt and authentic - they were.

Writings on social, political, and economic issues. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Their summary of the book speaks to Columbus “discovering” America. The Columbus myth is a foundation of children's beliefs about society. Columbus is often a child's first lesson about encounters between different cultures and races.

Writings on social, political, and economic issues. Friday, March 22, 2013. David Grossman's The Yellow Wind - A Retro-Review. David Grossman’s The Yellow Wind. 8211; A Retro-Review [1].
