Many times throughout my life, I have regretted not spending more time with family, with friends. This feeling of loss and disappointment in myself was especially severe after the death of my grandfather in September 2006. I felt like since they were no longer living on earth, I could no longer get to know them better. However, I soon found out that I was wrong.

The Subjectivity of Defining Progress
Wise Decisions
My parents are good with money. Although they are not rich, they spend responsibly. I admire my parents for their determination to use the little amount of money they have to the greatest extent for both my sister and I. Often they try to enforce the wise strategies that they have used on me.
Why they are called SUPER
Given the close race between Hiliary Clinton and Barack Obama for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, the use of super delegates seems more than probable. Super delegates are current officeholders, party officials, and former officeholders or officials.
A Resolution to the Abortion Debates
Since I have become an active member of the progressive community, approximately two weeks ago, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of discussion that takes place on abortion.

White Culture: What is it?
I have attended many lectures, discussions, and forums regarding race. I have learned about a number of minority races within the United States and I have had my eyes opened to a number of examples of discrimination both present and past, institutional and individual.
Why so similar childhoods, yet so different views on race?
As I was preparing a blog post on racism, I came to a realization. All of my blog posts that have concentrated on racism and discrimination have centered around black and white relations. I noticed that many other blogs I read on the issue, also centered around these two historically divergent groups.
