I am writing a paper on American Racism. I want to write about some of the most unfair convictions against blacks and how they would not have been convicted or given a lighter sentence if they were white. I'd prefer the cases to come from the 1950's or so era.

One of the cases I want to use: 17 year old Jeremiah Reeves who was caught having consensual sex with a married white woman in Montgomery Alabama and sentenced to electrocution on his 21st birthday.

Last night I dreamt I was swimming in a river when all of a sudden I noticed the wrist on my right hand was covered in leaches. I couldn't pull them off and I started to panic and feel really helpless. What do you think it means?

Why do we always claim to be defending freedom when in fact they are one of the least free nation out of all the other free nations in the world?

Have you guys ever watched I Heart Huckabees? They explained the "blanket theory"- using a blanket, they point out that if you think of the blanket as the Universe, one person is here, another is there, and Earthquake is there, a war is over there, someone is dying over there, someone is celebrating a birthday there (pointing to different parts of the blanket) that they are all part of the same blanket.


I'm not saying the Christian God isn't a part of God. But maybe it's just one face. Over there on the other side of God, people see a different perspective of the same thing. If you look at them seperately, they may appear to have many dissimilarities, but if you zoom out you'll realize they are the same.

I need to come up with the Gain/Loss (if there can be a Loss) for tax purposes. Is it the cost value at the time of the gift? The gift giver's cost basis? Or, is it all Gain?

Does long term vs. short term still come into play? And, does the fact that the proceeds were used towards college education have any bearing on the tax implications?

Christians teach there are to be no more prophets, yet John saw two prophets save the Jews in the last days. Please explain this. Use only scriptures...opinions are nothing.

Okay, so I dont have HORRIBLE acne...I just want clear skin! I have tried everything over the counter which never worked, I have gone to a doctor and been given pills to take which didnt help and just made my skin really sensitive and red, I have been given prescribed medicine which only made it worse, I have been prescribed differin which SUCKED, I have tried Proactiv which worked...but not COMPLETLY...it made it better, but I not completely gone. Out of all those things I have tried, each one I gave at least 3-4 months to work and never did. I have been using Proactiv for about 6 months since its the only thing that keeps my face SEMI clear...but its pretty expensive, especially when it doesnt work completely. I have tried getting facials, I have tried getting microdermabrasion, and neither of those helped either. For now im sticking with proactiv just because its the safest way for now, but does anyone know of anything else that could possibly help me?!

I'm not over weight and my BMI is perfect but I have a lil extra weight around thighs and my stomach, and I would live to tone up my chest/arms besides eating well (DUH) what's a good exercise plan/or just regular exercise that would be good for losing fat around those areas and toning muscle there, oh yeah and buns what's good for lifting the buns. I am trying to get in shape for summer. (and please before you answer I am looking for REAL answers lately yahoo answers just has little kids playing around on it just doing whatever they want and its annoying PLEASE real answers) Thanks in advance.

OK I'm going to keep this simple.

Man Burns fossil fuel, the byproduct of the burning fuel goes into the air. Mankind also deforests 1000s of acres a day (remember trees make oxygen and clean the bad stuff out of the air) and we dump toxic sludge among other things into the ocean.

HOW CAN ANY OF THIS NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT.

And please not a single word about natural weather cycles because none of the above mentioned in natural.

I am having a pinch in my vaginal area during my menstruation. It started last night, my 3rd day. I was 9 days late, it came on and I am having back pains, buttock pains and this pinch, feels like someone is pinching the inside of my lips instead of having stomach cramps. Anyone know what it could be?

I am coaching a middle school cycling team for an upcoming race. I myself cycle miles and miles and miles, and I know what a good average speed for distance is. These kids though are going to be doing tme trials, and a rely style race where the boys go 20 miles divided by 7, however I/they choose to swich off.

I have no idea what a good time for a lap or two around a track is? I may have some future cycling pros and not even know it! Could some time trialer out there give me some stats on this sort of thing??
