- 7756: Apathy
- ... is it such a hated word, such an awful state to be living in? Quite simply, apathy is indifference. Apathy is indifference to the sufferings of others. Apathy is indifference to the happenings of the world around the individual. Apathy is indifference to anything that does not directly affect that specific human being, or his surroundings. Apathy is remaining neutral in the face of adversity if the problem does not directly concern that person. Apathy has always been the shame of humanity, and will continue to plague us until we realize that our minute lives are not all that matters in this world. Apathy, or indifference, is rampant in today's society. Millions of deaths can be attributed to the disinterest of others.

- 7758: Pass The Weed
- ... conservatives across America has grown to a riotous roar. The problem is that the long-standing and unjust prohibition of the psychoactive drug marijuana has been lifted by voters in Arizona and California. Under the new law, doctors can prescribe marijuana to those patients who can possibly benefit from the drug's medicinal purposes. Used for alleviating pain and suffering, the drug can provide needed relief for many people.

A man who charges windmills like Don Quixote with little or no common sense would be considered rash or perhaps a little crazy while a man like Dr. Martin Luther King, who proposed peace without violence and was willing to say what most were unwilling to hear would be considered brave.
