“Students learn about the revolution that has occurred in the past few decades transforming society and permanently altering the status of men as well as women, ... They ask why, despite legal and social progress, women are still grossly under-represented in key leadership positions. They examine myths and facts so they can learn from the past to achieve more as individuals and leaders in their communities. They also examine the nature of social movements and the role of opportunity and risk takers.”

“[The adhesive pop quality of their songs - Shining Star, Can't Hide Love, Serpentine Fire, Fantasy and the disco classic Boogie Wonderland - was matched by superslick playing born out of their roots in fusion jazz.] People used to call us a funk band, ... But it was a little more complicated than that. We were a fusion group made commercial. We had a lot of progressive chord changes and bebop horn lines and then hooks that a child could sing.”

Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came human beings; they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate--for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.

Wherever sufficiently numerous series of the remains of any given group, which has endured for a long space of time, are carefully examined, their morphological relations are never in discordance with the requirements of the doctrine of evolution, and often afford convincing evidence of it. At the same time, it has been shown that certain forms persist with very little change, from the oldest to the newest fossiliferous formations; and thus show that progressive development is a contingent, and not a necessary result, of the nature of living matter.

“For both varsity boats, these were the best races we've had all season. Each week we progress and have a better race than we did the week before. Both races we put out there today were really good and really strong. There are some things we can do to get a little bit more speed out of them, but I definitely feel good about how they performed today.”

“In the past 18 months we have made real progress. In addition to all the production accomplishments, we have also been busy promoting our live show and building the Gina D (R) brand with the Gina D's Reading Across America Program(TM) appearances and media coverage. Because of the quality of our television programs we have been able to acquire 227 stations covering 79.9% of the U.S. television markets.”

“With less than a year to go until the July 1, 2006 compliance deadline, no topic is hotter in the global electronics industry than lead free technology. To date, IPC and JEDEC have informed thousands of industry members from all segments of the supply chain on the widespread implications of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance. Attending this conference in Brussels will help keep industry up to speed on the progress of lead free electronic products.”

As our kissing progresses, I don’t care that our tryst seems raunchy and wrong. I don’t care that I’m at school, in the boy’s bathroom. I don’t care that to most people this would seem cheap, dirty, and despicable. The only thing I can think about while he kisses me deeper, harder, faster, is that Henry Garner is the plague and the only thing I want him to do is infect me.

In recent decades we have emphasized the value of teaching people 'tolerance.' Tolerance is not only inadequate, it is a negative concept which only alienates society further. Learning to tolerate absolves people of the responsibility of learning to understand different people, accept and appreciate their differences, and progress towards respecting them for who and what they are. It is only when we build acceptance between people that we will rid ourselves of the scourge of prejudice and liberate ourselves from violence.

The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on - I am not too sure.
