...condemn all Orthodox Jews for the actions of several radical individuals, so why do we condemn all Islamic movements for the actions of isolated groups? Yes, the man who massacred Palestinians in the Hebron mosque was probably violating every important tenet of Orthodox Judaism. It would be unfair to characterize all of Orthodox Judaism based on the actions of this one individual. Likewise, it is unfair to characterize every grass roots Islamic group as terrorists. True, some Islamic groups are fanatical terrorists--the Taliban in Afghanistan, for example. However, that does not preclude the existence of legitimate Islamic groups like...
...ANTONIO: Calling the death penalty "a haphazard maze of unfair practices," the American Bar Association has called for a moratorium on executions. The lawyers group plans to lobby Congress and state legislatures against the statutes that it feels are unfair.

"How can one sister be so good and the other so bad?" asks Aunt Ruth. The answer: careless writing. The movie is so unfair to Lee that one roots for her to stay stubborn and blinkered. But that won't happen. In its polished, feel-good way Marvin's Room celebrates the breaking of a woman's will, when will is just about...
...joke. Unfortunately, my sense of humor is not something that a mainstream audience picks up. For me all it did was expose our society's hang-ups about our sexuality. Yes, I took a beating, and yes, a lot of the things that were said were hurtful and unfair. And yes it made my life really difficult for a while. But there are no mistakes. It was a great learning experience...
