everyone is completely obsessed with becoming an individual. i think that in this process of constantly doing things to stand out from other people we begin to lose ourselves. i was just going through someones blog and the reason that person didnt want a cell phone or owned one was because other people have one.. if we can all justify what we do by that meaning everything we do becomes meaningless. im not a virgin because everyone is having sex i'm a virgin because I dont want to....

I believe there is a modern day slavery. No not dealing with physical exertion but mental exertion. It's being committed against immigrants, african americans, gays and lesbians pretty much everyone who has some sort of right revoked. This modern day slavery i'm referring to is the control the government has over us. That we have to constantly beg for rights that we should already have in our possession.

It is a well known fact that AIDS/HIV are primary causes of death in Africa. While everyone is teaching safe sex and proclaiming that Africans should be taught how to utilize condoms and blah blah we need to take our own advice, obviously. I work for the Women's Institute at GMHC(Gay Mens Health Crisis) in NYC and its obvious that no one is taking head to the warnings about catching std's and aids.

I'm heading towards the end of my 2 1/2 year debate career. As I near the end I started to reflect on my debate awards the tournaments I won and the people I met. Specific instances point out in my mind. Could debate really be biased? I met this question while I was in Northwestern University Summer debate program last year. This was when i was considered the lesser of the bunch for not having a laptop and an Ipod.
