They're all innocent children, and they're all being exploited by vote-chasing politicians. U.S. News Guide James Chandler describes new campaign tactics that take baby-kissing to a new level of cynicism. http://usnews.about.com/library/weekly/aa011700a.htm RALLYING ROUND THE FLAG Even if civil rights activists succeed in their campaign to strike the Confederate flag from South Carolina's statehouse, the battle is far from over. As Government Guide Robert Longley explains, elements of the notorious Stars and Bars appear on the official banners of at least four other states. http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/news/aa011800a.htm :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Advertisement ::::::::::::::::::::::::: FreeShop is the place for free and trial offers.

Race Relations: Tue, Jan 18, 12:11 am ET "Jesse Jackson's agenda is ... Jesse Jackson. I have no problem with his self-aggrandizement if he actually does some good for people. What he's doing instead is adopting situations like the one in Decatur and then pumping them up beyond all proportion, because in doing so he's elevating his own importance as well." --BILLBICKEL http://about.delphi.com/ab-racerelation/start/?msg=48.3 :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Advertisement ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Vstore.com lets you open your own free online store and make up to 25% commission on every sale.
