PHCN: Cold Weather and Good Thinking

Posted Dec 7, 2008 at 01:13 PM by NextLevel (Rise To The Next Level)

It's hard to think when the weather is hot all the time. In fact, many things are impossible to run properly when the weather is hot all the time. In other words, heat encourages leisure.
One of the underestimated reasons why slavery was more popular in the South than in the North (in America) was that it was much warmer in the South thereby giving Africans an edge climate wise, as well as encouraging less productive thinking and more leisure.

Bush and Zero-Down Payments

Posted Nov 23, 2008 at 04:15 PM by NextLevel (Rise To The Next Level)

On a blog I usually frequent, mention was made that the press is avoiding the fact that it was Bush's desire to increase housing for minorities by campaigning strongly for lending with zero down payments that in part gave people houses that they didn't have the earning power to maintain.

Why hasn't the press trumpeted this error on the part of Bush? The obvious reason is that the conservative press is trying to protect a bad president, while the liberal press, who are supposed to...

Obama’s Presidency: Race and Inequality in Contemporary America, Pt 2

Obama as a Moderate Liberal?

Obama is a liberal - no one doubts or denies this. In fact, when I first studied Obama, this was my major concern – I felt that his liberalism was of the religious variety because I could not see how it had been tempered by the failures of his political acts to effect radical change.
