Green expressed unfounded bias against conservatives

Green expressed unfounded bias against conservatives

I was generally disappointed with the quality of Wednesday's debate on slave reparations. David Horowitz was too caught up in his own crusade against the editorial board of the 'Prince' to discuss concrete reasons why reparations were a bad idea, and Dorothy Lewis summed up the lunacy of her cause with the suggestion that Americans should "pay rent" to Native Americans after returning the nation's land to them.

The repugnant truth

In April of 1996, Oprah Winfrey declared that she would never have another hamburger. Her decision was sparked by Howard Lyman, a cattle rancher who described in detail some of the disgusting ? but routine ? practices of the cattle industry.

Confusing the personal & political

As a right-wing provocateur, David Horowitz has few peers. Particularly on the issue of reparations for slavery, he has managed to take a relatively obscure academic debate and make it a topic of popular discussion in several colleges and universities.

Global warming will take its toll on human life to the tune of hundreds of thousands every year. According to John Broome ? the chair of Moral Philosophy at Oxford ? these unfortunate victims of society's next big challenge will die by three main causes: heat waves, expansion of tropical diseases to temperate latitudes and increased flooding.
