...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...
Silverglate voiced his concern over how changing moods across the country, especially in relation to fears of terrorism, have influenced charges are brought against criminals, a major theme in the book he is currently writing.

The only problem is that the effects come too late to save...
...horseback, flanked by two militant looking women in aviators and boots who perform jerky dance moves between close-ups on Santogold’s hardened features. 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. My guess would be that Santogold is parodying pervasive violent imagery by using gross fluids and substances to pose as innards, but there is really no way to know as the video is so visually bizarre that it’s difficult to think about its message...
