Science is considered to be knowledge, knowledge is power and therefore science is mastery ... the industrial revolution. This is where our over consumption began. We were now able to drill into the earth and extract unrenewable resources and make them into many new products.

That would be beneficial for all surrounding businesses. Legalized prostitution would make an already practiced institution safer ... put the dealers out of business. Young children would no longer have the option of selling drugs and would be forced to get an education. Without drug dealers, there are no turf wars and fewer gun related murders.

- 1905: The Conflicts of the Black Race: Delayed Economic and Educational Progress
- ... these figures is racism. As long as anti-black racism exists, blacks probably could not progress at the same rate as other minority groups. It is a well-known fact that white people have more control than minorities in this country. They have the power to deny blacks housing and unemployment. Because of white people's prejudices, blacks have found it difficult to move up on the social and economic ladder. Also, exposure to constant discrimination causes some people to believe that they are worthless and incapable of succeeding. In order to overcome this obstacle, we have to take control of our own minds and lives. Until we as a people become aware and begin to raise our self-esteem, we will continue to let racism be a plague to our race. The slow progress ... own schools and businesses. Just because our progress has declined in the past 30 years does not mean we have to sit back and wait to hit rock bottom.

Yet if we work as a union, we can conquer our failures ...

- 1907: Cloning
- ... now that it is becoming a reality, people should start to think seriously about it and realize that it is not right to mess with God's creations; to create a technology that we cannot control and that poses an eminent threat to society.

- 1909: The Destruction of Red Tides
- ... scientists are starting to learn and understand these phenomena a great deal more in the last few years. Expanding research of red tides is being initiated by federal agencies. They are seeking ways to prevent, control, and mitigate red tides. Controlling pollution and industrial runoff of fertilizers and other chemicals can reduce the onset of some red tide outbreaks. An assessment conducted for The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Ocean Program said, "evaluation of the effectiveness and side-effects of chemical, physical and biological control agents; development of better detection an measurement of toxins and HAB species for application in monitoring; ballast water temperatures; and determination and treatment of the effects of chronic exposure on human health."

Although some farmers are willing to tolerate small numbers of prairie dogs on their land, most consider them pests and choose to control their numbers. Ranchers have forever despised the animal, believing it eats grass rightly meant for their cattle. Although prairie dogs do remove as much as seven percent of the available grass, recent research has shown ...
