SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right in America -- and it's making him nervous.

The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.

In the book, he cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives -- from church attendance and two-parent families to the Protestant work ethic and a distaste for government-funded social services -- make conservatives more generous than liberals.

The book, titled "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism" (Basic Books, $26), is due for release Nov. 24.

When it comes to helping the needy, Brooks writes: "For too long, liberals have been claiming they are the most virtuous members of American society. Although they usually give less to charity, they have nevertheless lambasted conservatives for their callousness in the face of social injustice."

I can't understand their logic, and was hoping such could explain it to me. Also, are there certain rituals one must do to become a liberal? Like abort a certain number of babies, or burn 35 american flags?

Only corrupt agricultural and livestock giants like tyson and natural foods will use thier labor as a way to increase profits to the big men..CEOs etc.. In reality there are plenty of legal immigrants whom need work and even without the legal immigrants there are agricultural machines that could do most of the work if not all. They don't utilize them becasue it is cheaper to hire an illegal if they can get away with it...as corrupt as that is.Poor Illegal aliens are not the backbone of America,,they don't do the jobs that American's won't..they do the jobs that Americans CAN'T get hired to do because they are a citizen...there is a difference. illegal immigration is decaying the economy and social services of this nation...enough is enough..no more pity for illegals

Our apartment does not have central air. It has a box-style air conditioner, built into the wall above the heater. But there's a problem; when it rains hard, water comes in around the box and drips all over the floor and runs down the wall.
It happened two weeks ago -- we called maintenance, the guy came out and said he'd fix it outside, then he never did. Now tonight it's happening again, and it's worse.
We have pots and pans on the floor, the wall is wet from the rain, and the water is dripping into the wall heater. We called the maintenance secretary and told her we were mad. All she said was, "someone will call you back."
We pay 1,000 bucks to live here. What should we do?
