Thoughts And Feelings Group Of People
1,176 wordsHere we are in 1999 in a world that is booming with technological advances. One would have to ask, "How did we come so far in such a short amount of time?"

We have become a society of alternate, passi...

Savage Inequalities Property Tax
1,214 words. Kozol feels that the way in which we fund public schools is arcane and unfair (54).
