SPACE EXPLORATION has humankind working in unity on a common agenda as if a future War of The Worlds is a clear and present danger.

Did God create extraterrestrials?

"Solar system exploration is that grand human endeavor which reaches out through interplanetary space to discover the nature and origins of the system of planets in which we live and to learn whether life exists beyond Earth. It is an international enterprise involving scientists, engineers, managers, politicians, and others, some times working together and sometimes in competition, to open new frontiers of knowledge. It has a proud past, a productive present, and an auspicious future."

WILLIE MAY LOVE was born during The Roaring Twenties (1920-1929), one of the most exciting and/or inglorious eras in the history of America. The prohibition era rife with mob violence, bootlegging and political corruption has consistently been glorified in the gangster movies that made Al Capone and his cohorts household names. Nevertheless, it was also the dawn of the industrial age which changed how Americans lived forever (FYI: During the 1920s, mass production developed which allowed for cheaper prices of technology products.

The main reason I think it won’t happen is because it would expose all of the hypocrisy and underhanded dealings of American justice for African Americans, Mexican Americans and poor White people. In my mind, modern day American court rooms bear a strange and familiar resemblance to old American slave trading and buying auction blocks.

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS

Congressman Al Green connects with AACCGH "Lunch Bunch"

Since I’m on record saying that State Rep. Garnett Coleman’s was one of the most informative and candid speakers that the "Lunch Bunch" had enjoyed in a long time, I must be redundant and say the same thing about Congressman Al Green’s stirring July 6, 2006 speech at the Acres Home Chamber of Commerce-Greater Houston’s (first Thursday) monthly business networking luncheon at the Acres Home Center for Business and Economic Development’s Beulah Ann Shepard Building, 6112 Wheatley. Even so, I’m putting it lightly to say that he connected with the Lunch Bunch. Truth is, north Houston, Texas’ Acres Home community’s State Rep.
