It seems a clear enough statement but it has been twisted and ignored by religious leaders who continue to promote heaven as a destination after death.

’Still I Rise’ by Maya Angelou: the poem You may write me down in history With your bitter‚ twisted lies‚ You may trod me in the very dirt But still‚ like dust‚ I’ll rise.

Third parties‚ or minority parties as the text book notes‚ are rarely ever in office. I feel that all sides should be heard and accounted for. As we have seen with the Presidential debates‚ only the two main parties are addressed. The smaller parties should still hold some kind of importance of the Americans. The beliefs of the Democratic
