In 1934 my journey had a political character; I came to Wash- ington to obtain from His Excellency, President Roosevelt, an earlier date for the demilitarization of my country and to arrange with him the details of such a measure.

Among my concerns is ‘the effect. that Spencer Woods, Hawthorne Court, Foxhall, and any current or proposed sub- divisions or housing de- velopments will have on the voting power of mi- nority resié&nts. I also oppose the dilution of minority (Black) voters in Ward 1. These are legitimate concerns because it ‘makes sense that African Americans and Hispanics want repre- sentatives who come from their commu- ni- ties, and who understand the racial barriers they face, such as, racial pro- filing by police, housing discrimination, and ry ACKBY POPULAR DEMAND ys rn PRE-CHRISTMAS DANCE MUSIC BY R.C.M. & SUPER JOCK JEFF PERFORMING THE HIT SINGLE OF THE FORTH COMING ALBUM: ae iA: AR higher rates of poverty, not faced by Caucasians. It just makes sense that minorities want repre- sentatives who come from their communities and understand these barriers. Our opponents like to say that this process is about race, but it is really about fairness. Equal representation for all citizens means that eve- ryone should have the opportunity to elect someone they feel repre- sents them and _ their community. This current plan fol- lows the bare minimum of the law. The true spirit of the law would address overcoming segregation and moving beyond race.

But even today, voting rights of minority citizens are still threat- ened when communities are divided by unfai'r voting districts that are drawn with the possibil-, ity of denying minorities a voice, on the town council. I leave you with. this question. Is preserving the status quo enough?

It. consisted of a huge upright brass bowl filled with water, resting upon a pedestal. The priests would often stop at this laver and wash. The Word of God may be thought of in terms of that laver. for it too has the power to cleanse, — The Old Testament laver could only remove the physical dirt ftom human hands, but the Scriptures possess the ability to take away our moral filth (I Peter 1:22).

Founded in 1865 in London, it does not have sacraments or com- munion or any prescribed rules for its worship serv- ices. The first Salvationists in this country arrived in New York in 1880. Initially, their street theater and marching bands (meet to draw atten- tion to their salvation mes- sage) earned disdain from other Christians. Their original intent was to con- vert everyone they met to Christ, but Salvationists found that people most ap- preciated their social wel- fare programs, In response, . the church toned down its evangelical identity and concentrated on doing good, which resulted in us from all unrighteous- ness" (I John 1:9"). What areas of our lives can the Bible cleanse? It can cleanse us from wrong thoughts. Sometimes we are tempted to think critically of others; God's Word can prevent this (Ps.1:2) On other occasions fearful thoughts may race through our minds; the Scriptures will prevent this also (Josh. 1:8). In fact, the Bible will establish our total thought-life if we but allow It to do so (.Phil.4:8,9 and 2 Peter 1: 5 -10). It can cleanse us from wrong words. Of all the Bible authors, James seems to be God's expert on the sins of the human tongue. In the first chapter of his book, he deals with this very thing and shows the absolute necessity of . de- upon _ the Scriptures to keep our pendence words true (James 1:22-26). See also Psalm 119:172. It can cleanse us (John 15:3).

It’s a waste of time, listen from the mouth of a man. This book exposes ‘male’ se- crets. Games exposing men seri- ously destroys relationships with women which affect decent men’s ability to maintain healthy relation- ships. All men who cheat are dogs who validate the irresponsible behavior of men. Men cheat for the same reason as women do. How many lies does he tell to maintain these sordid rela- tionships? A man must for- ever keep his lies straight, because with one slip of the tongue, his world could come tumbling down around him. The cheating man frequents the bars, nightclubs, and lounges. They'll find the women wearing tight skirts, heavy make up, and way too much perfume. Men be- lieve these women are des- perately lonely, extremely bored, or simply hard up. The attitude of many women is “men will lay down with anything with a heartbeat”. most men just want a one-night stand. Respect and consideration for his wife or girlfriend is absolutely necessary if the . relationship has any chance of longevity. If the other woman won't allow him to be sexually adventurous, then what the does he need her for? The cheating man depends on smooth talk, good looks, and the low morals of his victims to accomplish his fireworks begin. A cordial invitation to have lunch. “On the job is the ideal place. _| for the cheating man to meet a woman. who: is — compatible, desirable, and equally as important, em- ployed. Workplace affairs . are mutually pursued in- volvements where both par- ties are generally up front ‘about their marital. status and living arrangements. Men who elect to tell these lies about being miserable at home must continue to show signs of unhappiness. The wife or girlfriend be- gins to notice . sudden change in his attitude and his routine. First he starts showing up late from work. “| had to work an extra shift, baby” he’ll say. He’ll discourage her from visiting his job. Finally, his wed- ding ring abruptly disap- pears. Of course, he’ll try to use the lame excuse, “I lost it”. Sporting events such as baseball, basketball, and football is the most com- mon excuse used by men to lie their way out of the house. Supposedly they are either watching or playing. Some cheating men use "The After Work Get Away". The married or shacking man uses this method. He calls home to say he's working overtime . and then he leaves directly from workto use the other woman. One of the most ingenious methods men use to avoid going home to change is . taking an extra set of clothes to work, better known as "The hide the clothes in the trunk trick". There isn't a cheating man who hasn't tried this trick; at least once. Single men in apartments--parking __ their cars three blocks away when there is another girl in his apartment. The cheating man, after his act, he wants her to leave his apartment, "putting her out with the cat". Do men spend every waking mo- ment plotting ways to fool around? The cheater turns off the answering machine and transfers his calls to the pager. Leon R A Celebra ion Of Life hodes “what they are, As the Saying | "The - fruit doesn't fall far from the _ tree:. At the tender age of. 12, 1 began taking notes. First, there were the secret phone calls in the basement. My father always made sure he got us far away as. possible from my. mother's ultra-sensitive ears. The conversation were always brief and coded. Usually the sons follow in the father's foosteps. As a young man enters into his adolesceni years, the need for a positive image is particularly important. This is the time he's struggling with his own sexuality. "Is sex a game, a weapon, or a mutually shared act of love?" His answer will depend a great deal on how his mother conducts her intimate affairs. Home is where the hardcore lesson in life is adminis- tered. How to work with an attitude, cock a baseball bat to the side, and how to perceive young girls as b or h_. These destructive and disrespect- ful classes are taught on the streets each and every day. Television, better known as the idiot, is also a contribut- ing factor in male infidelity. The electronic entertainer, educator, baby-sitting and brainwasher have a great deal of influence on our Geerwiea. ta ideo: and the streets, will do itfor — them. Like most men, they need a little variety and . . excitement in their. lives, and having sex. with differ- ent women provides them with both. ae Women need to stop dress- ing so provocatively, Many men ignore the fact they have a wife, two children and a dog-named spot at home where the presence of a beautiful face appears. Revealing clothes contrib- ute to infidelity. Another factor that seems to be significant is the pure emotional and psychologi- cal excitement of sleeping with different women. Being able to attract a beautiful woman makes him feel good about himself. Cheating is a universal game played by men from every social, economic, and cultural background. Most infidelity is in corporate America than in the ghetto. A cheating man is afraid to love because he thinks he'll instantly be transformed into a mindless, spineless robot who will lose control over his life.

Black leaders and civil liberties groups have even called the racial profiling fight the first big civil rights issue of this century. They furi- ously protested against profiling, forced a handful of states to pass anti-profiling laws, and managed to wring an admission from President Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft that profiling is wrong and pub- licly pledge to end it. Even in the wake of the terror attacks against the World Trade Center and Penta- gon, and with the face of evil universally painted in some circles with.a Middle East- ern face, it still seemed far-fetched to think that so many blacks could do a rude about face on the issue. But the poll is no aberra- tion or lie. The reasons that a majority of blacks support profiling are directly related to the national anger and angst over the terror attacks, and there are some reasons that go much deeper than that. National jitters. The repeated appeals by Bush, Ashcroft, New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani, and the parade of local and state officials for Americans not to physically attack, discriminate, or profile Muslims have fallen on the deaf ears of many Americans, and that includes many blacks. While there is no reported incidents it Muslime, taeny sill view Musiitas With ; the same mix of caution, distrust and hos- eter tility, as many white Americans do. = be The repeated warnings by Ashcroft, and anti - _ FBlofficials of possible new terror attacks, : ~ think Arabs should “BB) be profiled and re- the Anthrax fear, the relentless war fever, and patriotic zeal, and the disproportionate . number of blacks in the armed forces, has transformed blacks into fervent cheerlead- - ers for tough military action, strong protec- tive measures against terrorism, even if the price is the gut of some civil liberties pro- tections. With the sole exception of Cali- fornia Democrat, Barbara Lee, the entire Congressional Black Caucus backed Bush’s war powers resolution, and some Caucus members supported his controversial anti- terrorism bill. *Personal security. More blacks than ever rely on airlines for their vacation and business travel. They demand, as whites, that air travel be as safe as possible. If it’s a question of their personal safety versus concern about discrimination against Arab travelers, they will opt for safety. *Relgious intolerance. Christian funda- mentalist beliefs have always had deep root among many African-Americans. The so- cial conservatism this engenders fuels sus- picion, fear, hostility and ignorance of and toward Islam. During the 1960s, many black church leaders shrilly attacked Malcolm X and the black Muslims, and rejected any efforts at inter-religious dialogue with them. In the aftermath of the terror attacks, few black ministers have made any effort to initiate or participate in the legions of dialogue ses- sions between Christian, Jews and Mus- lims nationally. ¢ Anti-police myth. In June 1999, a Jus- tice Department survey found that blacks in a dozen cities generally applauded the police. Many black leaders were flabber- They are not stilt police who do thee : “There's sa gotd reason, The Justice De- a partment survey found that blacks are nearly ; twice as likely to be victims of violence as whites. The leading cause of death among - | young black males and increasingly black ‘females under age 24 is still homicide. In _ nearly all cases, they will be killed, injured, maimed, and victimized by other blacks. Many blacks lost friends and family mem- | bers in the Trade Center and Pentagon at- tacks. They are angry and anguished at what they regard as yet another criminal act in which blacks are also victimized. ‘The heart wrenching news scenes of police and public safety personnel, many of whom are black, risking their lives to pull people from the Trade Center rubble touched the same deep nerve in blacks as other Americans. They enthusiastically applaud, hail and embrace the police and public safety personnel in New York and other cities as “American heroes.” They have been more than willing to open wide their pocketbooks and donate funds to the piles of relief funds to aid family members of the police and firefighters killed in New York. Bush has implored Americans to return life back to normalcy. Unfortunately, those blacks who approve racial profiling against Muslims run the grave risk of making sure that racial profiling could be part of that normalcy, and with them once more the prime targets.

They need encouragement. Christian people who are often caught up in physical and verbal conflicts need to which they will habitually question, Would Christ be pleased if I said this? Would Christ approve of my handling this situation like this? Would I perform this act id Christ were with me, visible? Finally, What would Jesus do in this situation? The idea of letting this mind be in you becomes a technique that automatically critiques what we say, do , or think. This attitude in no way guaran- tees against ing in sin.
