I wonder whether those hard core black rappers who think only black people can say the N-word get upset when their non-black fans inevitably say it when repeating the lyrics. Imagine a rapper who feels this way rolling up to do a concert in Iowa and having his whole audience saying the n-word along with him. What does he or she do then?
Or even worse imagine the black rapper who is vehemently against it being said by non-blacks but then has tons of other people saying it in bars across the country to their song!
Our show is tonight! We'll talk about that and more on 90.7 WEHC RADIO. You can catch the webcast at www.dcsouth.com under radio show.

A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper
Anyone who thinks that wars in general are not tragedies in and of themselves baffles me.
I was reading Paulos' book and it simply amazing. Thanks brother! There are so many insightful things said in that book that just make so much sense. However, one of the lessons i got from the book is the following: there isn't a time that disregards life more than during a time of war. it's insane. Paulos notes during the Vietnam war:

However, one of the lessons i got from the book is the following: there isn't a time that disregards life more than during a time of war. it's insane. Paulos notes during the Vietnam war:
"While 58,000 Americans perished, an estimated 2-2.5 million Vietnamese (out of a population of about 65 million) died."
And we lost that war.
How is it possible that ANY situation arises that we as people are ok with this? I was not around during the time of this war really, but i wonder how many of the protesters of the war were saying the war should stop because MILLIONS of people were dying instead of the thousands of Americans dying. I guess that would not have mattered.
How can the press today simply ignore how many people are dying on the other side? How do we as people allow ourselves to believe each of us in our country is worth more than a person in other countries? When we agree to start a war, then we agree that each of us is worth more than them. that is exactly what happens when war starts; Our hope is to kill more people than the number of people on our side. It is implicit in any war strategy basically. If we are ok with that, then we are saying that we are more important. Roughly 4000 vietnamese died for every american soldier in that war and if we only mourn the loss of our people, we devalue the lives of the other side.
