During a recent daily read of the WST, I was drawn to topic – “Bush Signs Voting Right Act Extension”; the subhead read – Voting Rights signed into law for another 25 year.
Not being familiar with the Act, I was initially incensed by the fact that in this time and day, we still were messing around with legal aspects of voting for blacks. A quick read alayed my upsettedness some when I realized that the law was aimed at a number of Southern states that were still in the clutches of “Jim Crowism”.
Basically, what happens is periodically voting patterns are analyzed to see if blacks are being discriminated against in the voting arena. Owing to the state of affairs that still exist, I feel comfortable that such measure are still in effect because they are sorely still need.
Just a simply guy who sees goodness in most and constantly in search of all that is beautiful, good, and true. I have very few hangups, save the fact that I am fiercely intolerant of BS and people who deal in delusions. I consider myself unselfish, always ready to give a hand when I see the need. I am also equally unforgiving of those who take advantage of the goodness of others. Learning is a passion of mine. My primary field is Mathematics, but my passion goes well beyond that. I read a great deal, I also enjoy Philosophy, History, Computing/Technology and Contemporary World Affairs (mainly Politico-Military). I am pretty guarded with my privacy, but you can learn more about me by hitting the button at the top - "All About Me" and you can hit me up on Skype...my username is "Rupdawg" or check me out at any of my Social links under "Don't Stalk Me" below.
