Your body can change from the time you're backstage to when ... it doesn't. It takes place in an adjoining hall at the Beacon, a smaller, decidedly less glamorous venue than the main hall. For the crθme de la crθme of the women's international bodybuilding world, it seems like a comedown, a consolation prize. Having been to the Beacon before I am dismayed by the lesser locale. (I read later that the show lost money or at best barely broke even ... as the hall begins to fill, and it becomes quickly apparent that tonight's audience isn't put off by the surroundings. They are here to cheer their own on to victory. It's another world, mom, my friend's son whispers incredulously to her as we enter the hall. Class is an important factor in these competitions, a circumstance that during the next few hours Lenda, Yolanda, Laura, Vicky, ...

By pushing them further and further West, they pushed the Indians to hate ...
- 325: Life After Death
- ... far in between, while the doctors frantically bustled on in a futile attempt to stabilize the dying man like a bunch of panicking bees trying to save their doomed hive from a pouring rain. The world turned hazy, then completely dark, as George felt himself slowly floating into the darkness. He flew and flew without end. Then there was the light - that infamous "light at the end of the tunnel." (Randles ... a near-death experience (NDE), and what really happens when we ourselves die? Is there indeed a part of us that conquers death and continues to live a different kind of existence where it has new powers and undergoes unfamiliar experiences?

Human existence has no more cosmic significance than, well, anything else. In ... well have been? Who wants to believe that all of us can die anytime and that anything (esp. all of the horrible possibilities out there) can happen? Who wants to believe that at anytime, a new plague or a meteorite from outer space could wipe out humanity; and that it could happen as meaninglessly as an anthill being stepped on by someone walking aimlessly down a road. If god exists, then it means we have some kind of protection. If not, then anything can happen. Is it any wonder then that people fall back on religion or belief in UFOs or New Age spiritualism or celebrity worship or television shows or gambling or alcohol or drugs or Nazism or all of the other hundred forms of escapism out there? Atheists may feel contempt for religious people; ...
- 327: Literature of Native Canadians
- ... the people that comprise this enigmatic Canadian continent. But what if you aren't one of those fortunate enough to be of European Christian descent? Abstract: Christianity is one of the most profound influences this world has ever known. Almost every facet of Canadian life, past or present, is manifest with it. White Anglo Saxon Protestants came to this country with adventure in their hearts and spreading the word of God on their minds. The new settlers soon found that they were not alone in the country they proclaimed as their own. They found a people, different from themselves and with no loyalty to the Almighty God. This untamed, human was ... and to legitimize paternalistic control over all aspects of their lives. (Frideres 1993; p 11). Therefore, we discover that institutionalized racism is a cornerstone upon which Canada was built. (See Shadd endnote) Canada's dominant world view is a product of religious beliefs, science, democratic ideals, & economic ideas.

- 329: Propaganda in the Online Free Speech Campaign
- ... sound files, and even live nude video. The completely novel and sudden appearance of the widely accessible Internet combined with the previously existing issues associated with adult materials has caused a great debate around the world about what should be done. The major concern is that children will gain access to materials that should be reserved only for adults. Additionally, there is concern that the Internet is being used for illegal ... law. While the goal of keeping children from gaining access to pornography is a noble one that few would challenge, the problem is that the CDA has opened a can of worms for the computer world. Proponents of the CDA claim that the CDA is necessary because the Internet is so huge that the government is needed to help curb the interaction of adult materials and children.
