I found a most interesting article on Michael Moore's website.  It concerns a law professor who has researched religious texts (particularly the Bible as used by Protestant Christians) and taxes.  Her main point is that most states in the U.S.A. have regressive, unjust, and immoral tax structures.  She also makes a point of naming which states are the worst, which is the best even if not perfect (Minnesota), and on what basis she makes these comparisons.  I will link to it below the fold.

This award winning short video was made by a group of teenagers, under the direction of a youth television program called "Rhinoplasty."  My older son was on the team that made this video--look for the "Trapper."

The challenge, sent out to schools throughout the United States, was to make a short film that explained the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.  Most of these short films were very factual and straightforward.  Because this film was created by a bunch of teenagers who were a loose confederation of kids who loved making videos, and were not in it for a grade, they took it as a lark and made something creative and wonderful.

For a link and more about how this video was created, go below the fold.
