I first met Chad W. Thompson several months ago while attending one of his lectures at ASU. Chad recently wrote an article for Relevant Magazine — quite a good article at that — that compares the mutant theme in “X-Men” and the non-mutants desire to “cure” the mutants with the public attitudes generally surrounding homosexuality.

From the Catholic News Service:
Cardinal Sodano told Italian state television that the Vatican would be following the summit’s progress with “great attention.”
“The Holy See tries to be ’super partes’ (above all parties); it has a universal mission to unite all of humanity,” the cardinal said in the July 24 interview with RAI television.
His remarks echoed […]
An excerpt from this article, posted on IHT, shows how commited to its citizens the Bush administration became, especially when criticized:
The U.S. evacuation effort, criticized for a slow start, began what officials called “a dramatic ramp-up” on Wednesday. The State Department, after days of angry grumbling from U.S. nationals and several legislators, had said Tuesday […]

Helping to end this genocide, exactly, is a great direction the U.S. can take to *really* tackle terrorism … the tension there between the extremeist Hutu […]
What matters? A rally cry and show of power to help those who don't have clean water, or to rise against the travisties in Africa, would be actions that would represent the Church as sincere, compassionate, strong, and a force to be reckoned with. When people ask why we are so strong-minded about these things […]
As part of the "Red" campaign, Bono became editor of London's Independent newspaper for a day, turned the front page red, and sent Londoners a message about Africans dying of AIDS.
The "Red" Campaign is an off-shot of One and DATA, where Bono partners with companies like Gap to help raise money to send Africans […]
For the past several weeks I have been thinking a good deal about the concept of unity. Unity is one of Monsuun's driving forces, and is also a major driving force behind Project Forever and what we aim to do with artists. Initially, unity is one of those things that seems ideal and beneficial, but I […]
