Hello,
I am going to assume that unfolding of this thread means that I won't be scolded by other members for being political (as I was when I brought up East Timor a few years ago) when I make the following statement:
The Super Bowl is great evidence for Chomsky's notion that the mass media e

You are right, Eskimo does mean "raw meat eater". It
is considered to be a racist term by many. Although Inuits were (and
still are on many occasions) raw meat eaters, they are so because wood
does not come in easy in the great arctic! Fire is not always an optio

Wesleyan named James Evans.
Make it a good day.

It seems obvious to me that they should cancel the halftime show entirely and spend
that entire time just running more ads. Those are the reason people watch at halftime,
not to see some lipsynching dancers. It seems like a win-win situation for everyone
except the folks like Jackson and that gu

I have heard that there is considerable debate about the terms that northern

local terms which I know to be correct:

constitutes a "difficult student" and just what constitutes a difficulty.
That's one of those broad, ambiguouis, fly-paper, "oh, you know what I
