Vasectomy as Contraception

VASECTOMY AS CONTRACEPTION

The sole purpose of a vasectomy is to permit a man to enjoy sexual intercourse without having to worry about getting his partner pregnant. Vasectomy is pure and simple contraception. It is as much contraception as the hormonal birth control pill. However, vasectomy is for men, whereas the hormonal birth control pill is for women.

Is this why the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is not as vociferous in its opposition to vasectomies as it is to hormonal birth control?

Investment of Money and Lives in Afghanistan

^{THE INCREDIBLE INVESTMENT OF MONEY AND LIVES IN AFGHANISTAN}

^{It seems incomprehensible that the United States and NATO would invest such vast sums of money and so much blood in Afghanistan simply to help the suffering human beings of that far-off nation. And, you know, it just doesn’t make any sense. Clearly, there must be another motive. Could it be that the U.S. and NATO need to secure the ground over there to ensure control of the pipeline that would make Central Asia’s incredible reserves of oil (and other essential minerals) accessible to the United States and NATO?} 

Occupying Western Civilization

OCCUPYING WESTERN CIVILIZATION: DEBUNKING THE WHITE SUPREMACIST NARRATIVE

The story goes that Mahatma Ghandi was once asked: “What do you think of Western civilization”? The great man’s characteristically profound reply was: “It would be a good idea.” The current cultural trends strongly suggest the idea of “Occupying Western Civilization.”

Winston Churchill is reputed to have claimed that history is all bunk. One sure way, then, to occupy Western civilization would be by “Debunking the White Supremacist Narrative.”

I am currently working on a book entitled, Occupying Western Civilization: Debunking the White Supremacist Narrative. It is scheduled for release by Original World Press on September 15, 2012.

Limbaugh and the Conference of Bishops

LIMBAUGH AND THE U.S. CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS

Rush Limbaugh could reasonably conclude that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has no real problem with what he did to Ms. Sandra Fluke. After all, Rick Santorum, the all but official Catholic candidate, basically gave Limbaugh a pass on his actions. Then, too, Limbaugh’s opposition to contraception makes him a political bedfellow with the Conference.

In view of this, it is important that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops explicitly disassociate itself from Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Ms. Fluke.

This Time, Shame on Us

THIS TIME, SHAME ON US

President Ribeau fooled us once with his round of cost saving measures, furloughs, and above all the ridiculous parody that was PCAR. Have we forgotten the big talk about the $0.75 billion that was supposedly set aside for Ribeau’s Academic Renewal of our University.

PCAR was repudiated by the faculty, so Ribeau fired the man he had brought in to manage his silly program. The promised $0.75 billion has vanished into thin air, so Ribeau is proposing another round of cost saving measures and furloughs.

Shame on us if we take it this time!

Howard University's Ongoing Onslaught on the Faculty

HOWARD UNIVERSITY’S ONGOING ONSLAUGHT ON THE FACULTY

For the second time since taking office in fall 2008, Sydney Ribeau plans to attempt to balance the chronically mismanaged Howard University budget on the backs of the students, faculty and staff. The University budget is hopelessly mismanaged by the upper administration; and, to add insult to injury, Ribeau paid out $1.1 million in bonuses to just three fat cats in his administration.

I challenged Ribeau’s highhandedness on his first attack on the faculty. More than a year ago, I put out the slogan: “Ribeau must go.” As the faculty senate responds to Ribeau’s latest arrogant onslaught on the faculty, it should bear in mind the ongoing campaign waged by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences as well as the College of Arts and Sciences against Original World Press.
