...social opportunity to let this hypothesis dictate this policy. Essentially, this excuse is little more than an attempt to veil the xenophobia that prevails in many parts of the American Southwest. Across Arizona and other Southwestern states, policies like Proposition 300 arise out of bigotry and racism. While the theme of this measure and the theme of curbing illegal immigration are related, the students affected by this ban on subsidies are unlike adult illegal immigrants who made a decision to cross the border illegally. Not only have these young people grown up in the United States, they are high-achieving...

Justin Timberlake shows up as well. “Run” flaunts a retro theme that other bands might handle in tacky or outdated ways. It comes complete with primitive star wipes and considerably good ideas for the upcoming 80s and 90s house dances, and then outdoes itself with the special seizure effects. The only problem is that the effects come too late to save...

It seems that this could go on forever, until an explosion of some sort occurs and the video grows ever stranger as the theme turns to violence.
