Time to Make New Year’s Financial Resolutions
Do you remember any of the New Year’s resolutions you made for 2005? If you don’t, it may not be such a tragedy. After all, you still may have had a good quality of life even if you didn’t get to the gym three times a week, learn a new language or take that gourmet cooking class. On the other hand, you can make a big difference in your future if you make – and keep – financial resolutions for the coming year.

Whitewashing Blackface
The controversial article that was printed in the November 27, 2005 – December 10, 2005 article entitled “Blackface Costumes Spark Dialogue” has spurred interesting dialogue from our readers. We have received more feedback from the story that any other. Special commentary section in “Excuse Me Are You Listening?” on Page 2, in our next edition.
This current article is one individuals response to “whitefacing”.
