Fourteenth Amendment Racial Discrimination
855 words
Legal scholar Gene Healy has made a powerful
argument in favor of abolishing the Fourteenth
Amendment to the US Constitution. When a fair vote
was taken on it in 1865, in the aftermath of the
War for Southern Independence, it was rejected by

the states, the Republican party, which controlled
Congress, passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867
which placed the entire South under military rule.

Religious And Mythological Themes From Titan A E
636 words
The idea that every science fiction film is
inspired by a religious or mythological background
holds true in the movie, Titan, A. E. These
backgrounds include those involving the Chinese,
Greeks and Egyptians. The first suggestion
involving mythology is in the title of the movie
itself. A Titan was a race of Gods in the Greek
culture that ruled the Earth before the Olympians.
In my opinion, a large majority of the movie can
be explained by examining this portion of
mythology. I feel that Cale re...

Nation Of Israel Jesus Christ

felt by reverence is that god always pervades
everywhere without any change. Several ages pass
away, several Brahmas (creators of god) change,
but the supreme essence remains the same. The fact
which is felt by experience is that the whole
world is kaleidoscopic; it is changing every
moment and is turning to naught. Thus there are
two facts: 1) God who ...
