History of SEC Football
In a sport filled with traditions and history, no other conference in College Football carries as much historical significance as the Southeastern Conference in its first 75 years. The SEC was formed in the 1930 ?s on the heels of the depression and quickly took College Football by storm. By the 1940?s the SEC flourished in ?The New South? with Heisman Trophy winners and National Championship Teams. The 1950?s brought legendary coaches like Bear Bryant at Alabama to the league while the 1960?s saw desegregation turn the league into the dominant national conference that it is today. The 1970?s were dominated by Alabama with multiple National Championships and Sugar Bowl appearances. In the 1980?s, the SEC introduced us to future household names Herschel Walker, Emmett Smith and Bo Jackson. The 1990?s brought innovative systems like Steve Spurrier?s fun?n gun passing offense to Florida and a return to National Championship glory at Alabama. And a young man named Peyton Manning honed his skills at Tennessee. 2000 to 2007 brought us National Championships at LSU and Florida and plenty of great teams and players along the way. Relive all the great football history of this powerful and historic conference in a special collectable DVD!

Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "Muggeridge Revisited"
Taped on June 27, 1978The last time Muggeridge was on Firing Line, Buckley reminds us, it was to comment on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's first television interview (#S225); a few weeks before today's show was taped, Solzhenitsyn had again made waves, this time with his Harvard commencement address. Solzhenitsyn, with those great burning eyes, speaks like a prophet. Muggeridge, with his twinkling eyes, speaks like a benevolent grandfather--but the two men wind up saying much the same thing, whether speaking of the City of God or the City of Man. Muggeridge: "Every courageous man in the West who believes in freedom and equality will have a go at them [the South Africans], because that's very easy. But--" Buckley: "Or Chile." Muggeridge: "Chile, not quite so easily, because there aren't many black people there, and it's not within the orbit much of the West; but South Africa is the absolutely favorite thing. In order not to have to do or say anything about the Gulag, it's perfect. . . . I've been reading Spengler in these dark days. Do you ever read it?" Buckley: "I've managed to avoid it." Muggeridge: "You won't avoid it for long." Summary by Firing Line staff.

Voting Question: columbine shooting.. my opinion.. whats urs?
im a 15 year old white girl living in south africa... yeah im kinda goth and listen to metal but whatever.. im really killing to know some arguments on my opinion regarding what happened,, and some of urs too.. will choose best answer
""i blame:
*the music
*the parents
*the violent video games
*cartoons
*south park
*bullying
*t.v.
*drugs
*marilyn manson""
hey heres an idea kids.. why dont we blame the actual people who pick up the gun, walk into school and empty it into their peers??
are half of the people who throw around the above acusations aware that on the day the shooting occured in columbine that the president of the united states dropped more bombs on coast lavol than any other time during the war?
10 DAYS after the columbine shooting occured a state official hosted a pro guns ralley.. referring to anti fire arm remarks he stated "from my cold dead hands" wielding a rifle above his head, the crowds reaction was thunderous applause. marilyn manson cancelled his tour in respect of them even though in reality he has no blame behind it. when asked what he would have said to the boys who shot up their school he replied, "nothing. i wouls have listened to what they had to say, because no body did that for them"
who, in this situation is showing more logic and empathy to the masacre? yet who did america choose to blame?
so what was the united states reaction to the columbine shooting? they started a blits on all the kids in schools... they were no longer alowed to wear their shirts untucked, wear baggy pants, or adorn any symbols that may be related to gang associations. an 8 year old was suspended from school for bringing a pair of nail clippers to class, the authorities stating that they were a weapon. another primary school child was expelled for pointing a piece of chicken at his teacher and saying bang bang. another 8 year old was sent home after pointing a gun shaped folded piece of paper at his class mates in a game of copas and robbers. a high school boy was expelled for dying his hair blue, another for wearing a scottish outfit to his high school dance with a FAKE traditional knife attached to his kilt..
the reason kids would shoot up their high school is because they are angry at the way that they are treated there.. and now authorities have the audacity to make life even more hellish for them by suppressing them even further??? when in reality the boys responsible for columbine just walked right on in.. even if ppl had been checking their bags, the masacre would have occured ANYWAY.. the same case is with the samari incident in krugersdorp..
how can society, the peopkle of america, blame the music, the hair, the toenail clippers.. THE CHICKEN!!!! when they are so goddamn pro fire arms?? when a pro gun ralley can be run 10 days later.. when in actual fact the guns that eric harris and dylan klebold perchased to shoot up their school were actually bought leggally?
the united states needs to sort out their priorities
