"To err is Human; to forgive, divine" Alexander Pope


    We are discussing human rights this chapter so I thought it might to be good to include a portion of the Declaration of Independence, perhaps the most famous section of the whole thing:
    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...." ~United States Declaration of Independence.
    So tonight keep reading. We are going to complete questions 2 and 3 on page 334.
    We will discuss some cases tomorrow in a group setting. Come one, come all!
    Until tomorrow,
    L

Absent!

Wish I was there with 'youse' today, but Track and Field called, or rather Mr. Chung did.
I hoped you managed to have some good discussion on government and politics as this chapter nicely coincided with yesterday's Election Day.

Tonight I have requested that you complete # 1,4 on page 302.

We will be 'all business' tomorrow so come prepared to think, discuss, and learn. 
There's about 20 days of classes left (Argh! and Yeah!)

Until we meet again.
