 Somewhere Near Paterson $16.98 I got interested in Richard Shindell when I heard "Transit" on the radio (WFUV in NYC). That is the standout track on this album, but the others are excellent too. I also like Vuelta very much - more great songwriting. What's special about Shindell's songs is that they move you on an emotional level, but also show excellent craftsmanship that appeals to the intellect - at least, they do for me. :-) Highly recommended.  925 Sterling Silver Twisted Cuff Bracelet 8mm Wide - Straightforward Elegance $135.60 This cuff bracelet would be a fine addition to your jewelry collection for occasions that call for a straightforward statement of elegance.

"Straightforward: How to Mobilize Heterosexual Support for Gay Rights'. Princeton University Press, 2005. Advocacy Amos Lassen Ian Ayres and Jennifer Brown are husband and wife and professors of law. They let us know that there is a population of about 20 million people who are willing to support the GLBT community and they show us how to get their support. Many heterosexuals will hide their own sexual orientation in the interest of activism. They want to make the world a better place. History has shown us that no civil rights movement is ever won just by those who are the targets of discrimination. The subject of gay rights also includes non-gay rights and all Americans want fair treatment. The authors show how non-gay people can have their voices heard and use those voices to gain equal rights for all. We are well aware that we need straight allies and they need to speak out as well as act for equality. We must have strategies for them and by changing the incentives and making them inclusive, laws can be changed. The authors give us real stories about real people and how they have dealt with decisions. There are also examples of how people can be valuable to us. We must realize that gay people are a small population and our rights depend upon the support of those who are not members of our community. There are benefits for supporting gay people and this book tells how to make this possible. The insight here is absolutely necessary id we want to have the rights we seek. This is a practical book for all of us and its message is one that we must pay attention to. I cannot recommend it highly enough. |
