Atricle Dump - The US Pledge of Allegiance - Fact or Hope?
Want to increase your sales immediately?Virtually everyone wants a quick, easy solution that will help them increase their sales. Fortunately, in all but a few situations, this is not an impossible task. The key is to sell to the right people. This doesn’t mean trying to connect with the key decision-maker in a particular organization or creating a list of ideal companies to contact. I’m talking about tapping into your existing customer base.Most people in business today ha
But the US is a nation. Canada is a nation. Et al.
When I spoke my pledge, over the past 40 years as both student and again as a teacher, I repeated the words we all repeat; “...one nation, under God....” Ok, my nation is the United States of America. That was easy to identify! I was born in Los Angeles County, California, USA. I was not a Native American but born a native American. Odd t
The ideal for many people is to have a website that creates its own revenue, building a substantial income for its owner while he or she lies on a beach somewhere on a tropical island. Though that has happened for a very limited few, the rest of us need to take certain important steps to make sure that we earn enough money from our websites to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.Among these steps, there are five that have proven to be the most effective for generating additional rev
For forty years, in my classes in grades 1-12, where I was a full-time, or part-time or substitute teacher, I GLADLY held and RECITED the pledge of America. I did so with honor in my soul and a smirk on my face, realizing that few others could have the power and equity in their lives as our US Constitution guarantees its citizens!
I will admit that my knowledge of geography and political science has been weak until just a few years ago–my dad left a hint of his love of geography with me when he was alive and I am just now “catching up.”
What provoked my CHANGE from defender of the realm to doubter of the land was
the simplest event; I am a speed walker and I walk several miles daily. One day, a
decade ago, while on my walk, I sped by a car parked nearby my home. The seal on the
door caught my eye and forced me to slow down and re-read it: “Navajo Nation.”
I thought, concurrently, two opposing thoughts;
A; I know where that is
and
B; That can’t be right!
I stared and stared and then, continued on my walk. I know that Navajos are a component of what Chris Columbus identified as Indians when he founded [by his team] the US in 1492. He of course, was seeking India–thus, Indians! He found the natives of San Salvador [later called “Native Americans.”]
Indians, in the United States, are part of the social/political ground called Native Americans and became a sub-set of something or other and then, “supervised” by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and The Bureau of Land Management, et al, over the past fifty years.
Now, here is where my brain had a problem as I read that door seal; Navajo Nation, not Native Americans. While Indians in the US ARE native Americans, they are also part of one of 125+ Indian Nations. NOT Indian fun groups, not Indian clans or associations, but Indian Nations. N A T I O N S.

Social media optimization is the different strategy that is adopted to make a website more visible and accessible on all social networking platforms. The different strategies if implemented in the correct way can bring about huge amount of traffic to a website and make it popular pretty soon. The idea behind social media optimization is to drive a large amount of traffic and these results in great amount of exposure and visibility among people who are interested in whatever that site is

You need the real facts behind variable annuities. Getting the right information the first time will save you thousands in the end.When it comes to buying an annuity who are you going to trust? The person selling it to you, or a person who has no vested interest in whether or not you buy an annuity at all? Getting the and right and accurate information is what I am all about. It does not matter to me if you buy an annuity. I am not paid by the insurance industry.I put no co

Once you have begun to write your article in such a way that the subject matter of the article agrees with the title, you can begin to move the reader in the direction of your squeeze page.For example, let us assume I have a weight lifting web site. My article title is ‘How To Gain Muscle’ but my squeeze page is about Weight Lifting.Now, on that note, you can create a separate squeeze page for each article topic, and in theory you would have the highest conversion rates.

With the development of an integrated global economy, marked by free trade and free flow of capital, now is the time to pursue a cutting-edge international business career.Around the WorldIn case you hadn't noticed, U.S. firms are expanding abroad. This requires organizations to form effective strategies for entering the international business market. They need to be aware of legal matters pertaining to specific countries, and they need to be concerned with organizat

Now, if the Navajo and Arapaho and Puma and the other 100+ Indian Nations are just that, Nations, how can our pledge to the flag accurately state “One Nation Under God,” instead of a more accurate pledge being “132 Nations under God!”
Yes, I agree, that does sound a bit hokey but we are not legally or politically one nation– or –the Navajos and Puma and other Indian Nations are not legally Indian Nations. They have their own constitutions, judges, police and more. About 20 years ago [and our press logically made a big deal out of it] our FBI entered a casino on the Ft. McDowell Reservation to remove “Illegal gaming machines.” It turned out, the FBI had no jurisdiction on that reservation! How could the FBI not have jurisdiction? The answer is, those entitles that are legally sovereign parts of or are fully sovereign nations, are places where the FBI must get state department permission to enter.
So, back to square one. As I ask my students, or TELL my students, regardless of agreements between the state department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Land Management, is the land between [how I phrase it in my classes] Maine and Florida, and between Georgia and California and Alaska and Hawaii, one nation or a stretch of land housing 132 SEPARATE legal nations?
I got kicked out of one school for introducing this unique legal paradox.
Again, then, is pledging “One Nation Under God” a current fact or a hope? If a hope, it is not a pledge.
