 Statue of Liberty National Park: History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Americans seemed receptive to the idea of a statue dedicated to "Liberty Enlightening the World" (the official name for the statue), but no one was willing to make a commitment of money or a building site.
The American half of the Franco-American Union, led by William M. Evarts, held the usual fund-raising events, but public apathy was almost as monumental as the statue itself.
The New York Times reported that as the parade passed by, the office boys "from a hundred windows began to unreel the spools of tape that record the fateful messages of the 'ticker.' In a moment the air was white with curling streamers." And so the famous New York ticker-tape parade was born.

 American Rhetoric: Bill Clinton -- 2004 Democratic National Convention Address
Therefore, we Democrats will bring to the American people this year a positive campaign, arguing not who's a good or a bad person, but what is the best way to build the safe and prosperous world our children deserve.
They believe the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their economic, political, and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on important matters like health care and retirement security.
These policies have turned a projected 5.8 trillion dollar surplus that we left -- enough to pay for the baby-boomer retirement -- into a projected debt of almost 5 trillion dollars, with over 400 billion dollars in deficit this year and for years to come.

 Case Study
In fact, Mitsubishi is one of the oldest corporations involved in the logging of both the southern rainforests of South America and Eastern Asia, and the northern temperate forests of Canada and Siberia, and it remains a primary creator of dirty, dangerous, and unsustainable technologies worldwide.
Native Americans are slowly losing their means of survival (the boreal temperate forest) because of the clearcutting practices of the timber MNCs, and also because of the chemicals that have been emitted into the Northwest Canadian forest from the pulp and paper mills.
But there is some hope for the Native Americans in the form of NGOs and IOs that have been, and will remain active in helping the various Indian populations to have a voice in Canada and to protect their land.

 KUWAIT Case
By December 1990, experts began to postulate as to the exact magnitude a deliberate plan of eco-terrorism by Iraq, and analyses varied that this action would cause the release of anywhere from three million to almost ten million barrels of oil per day.
Hundreds of miles of the Kuwaiti desert were left uninhabitable, due to the accumulation of oil lakes and of soot from the burning wells.
The impact of the oil spillage on the biodiversity of the Gulf has yet to be fully assessed, yet based on the biologics that inhabitated the region prior to the Gulf War, it can be adduced that they are now at serious risk.

 The Republican Noise Machine - American Progress Action Fund   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The most influential political commentator in America, Rush Limbaugh, and his hundreds of imitators saturated every media market in the country, providing 22 percent of Americans—not only conservatives but independent swing voters—with their primary source of news.

In the 2000 presidential campaign, the Republican Noise Machine, which worked for years to convince Americans that the Clintons were criminally minded, used the same techniques of character assassination to turn the Democratic standard-bearer, Al Gore, for many years seen as an overly earnest Boy Scout, into a liar.

Tracing the history of American observance of the holiday season, McKibben discusses both the needs such festivities have filled and the excesses and problems they have created.
One hundred dollars, McKibben says, is not a magic number or even the point, but rather a simple reminder "to give things that matter." Begun as a project for the author's rural Methodist church, this slim book offers us tips on giving one another the priceless Christmas gifts of time, attention and fellowship.
Some of the gift ideas include a homemade meat product and a donation to a meat-giving charity, and there is a long segment about how Christmas may have been placed as it was on the calendar to coincide with animal butchering times, which is probably true, just unfortunate and not exactly uplifting.
