Last Sunday, I braved the rain and cold, got out of bed before noon and drove up to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I was going to complete an assignment for my oh-so-interesting art history class and was planning on going through the exhibit about Roman Art from the Louvre Museum in Paris as quickly as possible, as I wanted to get home in time to catch a small nap before going to work later that evening.

The article covered recent efforts by Indiana legislators to introduce “bias” laws. Rep. Greg Porter (D-Ind), author of a new hate-crime bill, said Indiana was one of only five states without hate-crime legislation. I wondered, is this such a bad thing?
You’ve really got to hand it to the Sudanese. My first thought when I heard that thousands of them marched Friday in Khartoum was “Oh, maybe they have finally decided to hold their government accountable for Darfur.” I couldn’t have been more mistaken. Apparently these upstanding citizens of Khartoum were marching against Gillian Gibbons, a 54-year-old school teacher from England.
During the 1980s, a significant divestment campaign was established to end investments in South Africa, whose apartheid policies represented a human-rights nightmare.

Mick Renneisen, director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, said the report might be more shocking than expected because of what the Environmental Commission defined as green space. The report does not include areas that are within 10 feet of a building or pavement, including hiking trails in parks or areas less than one square acre of contiguous green space.
