America Loves A Free Market System!

We live in a capitalistic society & that’s the integral part of the American dream. You know, the white house with the picket fence & all that jazz! That’s why a large minority has found the “bailout” to be quite an atrocious idea! What is even more appalling is the partisan blame game! How is [...]

The World’s Biggest Sex Symbol Was Born & Bred Here

 

 Marilyn Monroe was one of the world’s sexiest women of all time! She oozed sex appeal & encouraged sexual freedom in women. She is a different kind of feminist but she is one. This woman was intelligent because she gained her fame from exploiting a stereotype. She was the stereotypical dumb blonde. In her life, [...]

Global Warming Will Affect Poor Countries More Than Rich Ones

  
http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=21448&Cr=climate&Cr1 If the economy keeps plummetting, we won’t be classified as rich too much longer. For now, everybody is scraping up the $4 bucks for gas & etching out their existence. People who reside in poorer countries aren’t worried about gas. They’re worried about food & other basic needs. But they also need to be concerned [...]

Only in America, Baby! Hip Hop Emerged from South Bronx!

I like Nas wit’ his prolific/gifted/ ill ass flow.
Talent is not the status quo/ like it was in this video…
What would this country be like without hip-hop? As someone who grew up immersed in it, I don’t ever want to know. All of the exhilaration I felt after going to a rap concert hasn’t ever [...]
