It’s been six years since Redman last graced us with his musical presence. Since then, he’s had a failed television show with partner-in-crime Method Man, roles in multiple video games, and a spot in a Nickelodeon cartoon. He’s changed since his days as a member of Def Squad and moonlighting as Wu-Tang Clan’s honorary member. Right? Judging from his latest release, “Red Gone Wild,” the answer is clear: absolutely not. And that’s what both plagues...
...progressively impinged on Tamil rights, forcing kids to learn Sinhalese, taking over land for Sinhalese settlements in Tamil areas, favoring Sinhalese candidates for government jobs. And so the L.T.T.E., which is now listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Europe and India, took up arms, perfecting the modern method of suicide bombing and so successfully indoctrinating its troops-there are now some 12,000-that Tiger soldiers carry vials of arsenic to swallow if they are captured...

In this light, the Task Force’s report seems too erudite and abstract for the dilemma at hand, like trying to fix a broken down car with a new theory of locomotion. The proposed shift from “ways of knowing” to “real-world context” will do little...
...Finally, regarding your depression stats: OK, but what are the figures for 20 years ago? If you can't compare over time, you're taking a snapshot-a cheater method of statistics. You can't prove your point that our historically recent infantilizing of kids has caused them to be in turmoil unless you show they are in more turmoil today. But they...
