...wink of sleep over the million or more deaths caused by the Iraqi embargo. Bush and McCain both support enforcement of the sanctions, and McCain even openly demands the overthrow of Saddam's regime. One can only wonder how Bush and McCain can display such callous attitudes toward such blatant misinformation and destruction of innocent human life...
...principal theological seminary's mission is to train clergy who are patriotic and support the Communist Party. It is absurd for the Communist Party, whose bylaws say membership is incompatible with religious belief, to choose the new bishops for China's Catholics.

Indeed, Burton's recent dismissal from the council for lack of attendance can now clearly be disregarded as blatant, unfair discrimination. The council's invisibility understandably prevented Burton, who may also suffer from poor vision, from finding his way to the meeting. In his quest to "make [the council] visible," Burton can help not only the huge number of myopic students at Harvard, but himself...
