Many Americans today are calling for the removal of the Confederate flag on statehouse grounds in South Carolina's capital. Read this article and find out about this controversial issue. I'm copying an excerpt below: "The flag has no meaning "regardless" of politics, or above politics; its heritage is not exempt from history.

But how did ancient festivals welcoming spring get connected with playing pranks? Read more

What do you think about the Palestinian and Israeli conflict? How do you feel about it? More importantly, how much do you know about the so called Never Ending Conflict?
Artist Nina Paley created "The Land Is Mine" to tell the story of the wars in the land called Israel/Palestine/Canaan/the Levant, since the cavemen until today, an accurate depiction of the horrible 6,000-year bloodshed in the region of Palestine, with dozens of tribes and nations fighting each other to claim ownership of that land.
