... In fact it is nothing of that sort. The room you have walked into is a testing laboratory for cosmetics. The technician gives a short bark of laughter and asks if you would like to see the skin-testing lab. Every year millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine ‘the safety’ of items ranging from eye shadow to oven cleaner. The eye irritancy test described above is only one of the tests that convince me that animal product testing is absolutely wrong. A lethal dose test force-feeds animals a particular chemical in order to see how toxic it is. It may also be injected under the skin, into a vein, or into the lining of the abdomen; ...

... ways. Because of our society's fundamental belief that protecting the home and going to war are a man's work, men from minority groups have often been accepted more readily in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor, infantry, and special forces--branches from which much of the senior leadership is drawn. “In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Survey included questions on women's role for the first time ...

On June 4th, 1989, unsuspecting people gathered in Tienanmen Square, unaware of the machination the government had devised to cruelly murder them. Government soldiers then proceeded to kill them in cold blood. The incident was a tragedy for the victims, obviously, but it was also devastation to their democratic purpose.

It isn't at all ironic that during our short lives the world has seen so many changes. Through the work of our generation and the reactions of the Baby ...
