Quote; "Anyone who starves themselves over any cause is stupid. Can't change things when you are dead, so yes the death was in vain. Even a gator could figure that out."\n\nGator has obviously never heard of Bobby Sands or the other 9 Irish Hunger strikers of 1981. As a result of their sacrifice, Bobby Sands was elected to Parliament while still on hunger strike, hundreds of people joined the IRA and the Good Friday Agreement was signed. Among other things, the Good Friday Agreement forced the brits to share governmental power with Irish Republicans AND forced the brits to release ALL IRA prisoners from their prisons! Don't tell me they died in vain. They were locked away in a prison, with no weapons, yet managed to change the whole course of Irish history.\n  Sadly, I must admit that I know nothing of Subhas Srivastava. But he has got people talking. And I will read up on him and his cause. So be sure, he did not die in vain.

1.  Accomplishing all she did with a 3rd grade education.\n2.  She made President Johnson blink.  When she began her speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention, demanding the seating of Mississippi Free Democratic Party, Johnson called an emergency news conference so the networks would break away from the convention.\n3.  Surviving the severe beating by the Police.\n4.  Not being killed because of work on behalf of voting rights and her work with SNCC

Ray Nagin wont like this answer because I am white and older than he is. Tis true he had a hard job after the hurricane, and for that he should get big props. But after hearing his thinly veiled racial "chocolate city" references as well as other citizens of New Orleans at the mikes, maybe he should solicit help from those americans whose color matches his chocolate city remarks. oh yeah he shuffles and says gosh i was just joking, but he got caught and was trying to slide it off. Come On Ray Nagin, your city needs a really dynamite leader now- quit trying to play the race card.

The story is buried, but I saw the video. Taped in 1982 and about 54 minutes long,  it has John explaining to undercover agents posing as mid eastern businessmen how he was able to secure political favors beneficial to people looking to do business in his district. These guys wanted to do some coal mining and Mr. Murtha said he was the guy who could pave the way in his neighborhood. To his credit and slick operating style Mr. Murtha did not take the money himself but, he said other unnamed people would contact them in a few days to complete the deal. The agents tried but could not get Murtha to divulge any names.\nJohn Martha is no Marion Barry when behind closed doors.

The Prime Minister was Margaret Thatcher.  The NCB (National Coal Board) ran the mines.  The chairman of the NCB was Neil McGregor.  Neil McGregor was American.  The NUM (National Union of Miners) was on strike against job losses.  The president of the NUM was Arthur Scargill.  Scargill was very very left wing.  Thatcher was determined to crush the power of the NUM because the NUM had brought down the previous Conservative administration.  Before the strike, the government has ensured that huge quantities of coal were stockpiled, so they were well prepared for a long strike.  The strike lasted over a year.  The government and the coal board said that some mines had to close because they were uneconomic but the miners disputed this.  There were violent clashes between picketing miners and police who had to ensure that working miners had the right to work.  Scargill called the strike without a ballot and this led to many miners considering the strike undemocratic.  Working miners split from the NUM to form their own union called the UDM (Union of Democratic Mineworkers).  The strike destroyed the power of the trade unions in British politics.\n\nThis is a small part of what I remember.  I hope this helps you with your homework.  What subject is it?  Please don't tell me this is now considered History!

I think this is what you are looking for, there are episode recaps on the source site listed below for each episode..\n\n'In her speech, she states that she is giving the speech directly to the people because their elected representatives in both parties have become so incredibly corrupt and caring too much about politics instead of helping the people, using her homeless bill as an example, and that if the people support her, she will reform the system and make it more "independent".'*

There's plenty...Alice Paul, Pocahontas, Amelia Earhart, Carrie Chapman Catt, Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Elanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Madame C.J. Walker, Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller, Lucille Ball, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Zora Neale Hurston, Emily Dickinson, Marilyn Monroe...just to name a few. I suppose some people would consider Oprah Winfrey a hero too...I guess it depends on what you're looking for.\nThere's countless others. I hope this helps you.

No it started way before her time in the sixties when anything went and drugs etc were becoming widely used.  It has been compounded by the so called human rights act and the children's act.  There is too much emphasis on protecting the criminal and forgetting all about the victim.  There is no discipline and no respect.  Maggie was very hot on law and order.  Not a Thatcherite but even I can see how she was head and shoulders above the bunch we have now.  This government is more corrupt and dishonest than even John Major's lot managed to be!

Certainly a rhetorical question.  I'm sure his kids will do for their country what he did for his.  Can you say caste system?

well Nazi's and the Nat's (the apartheid government of the time) were both interested in seperating the citizens according to race/culture. Both used violent methods to do so. Both had an ideology of seperating the races in order to "protect" a certain race. Oh and neither worked in the end.

Please don't use HER as your role model.  She is such a loser.\n\nGo on line and do a search in your area under teen humanitarian volunteer programs.  Something should show up.\n\nGood luck to you.  You sound like you are on the straight and narrow :)

I dunno. I think she's the next princess Di...all the great humanitarian work is simply a cover-up for a closet full of skeletons.
