Advertising Election 2000 By Cory Spiller Election 2000, God bless America: another election year, another round of sucker punches, mud-slinging and enough spin to make you dizzy for four more years. Voting for the president is fairly simple. You pick the person you relate to most. George W. Bush should not be the President of this country because has nothing in common with the American people. Granted, Al Gore is not an ideal candidate. He has been groomed for politics since he could speak. But at least he doesn't own millions of dollars of energy stocks; at least Gore held an average job as a journalist during the Vietnam war. W. can't escape from his special interests; they completely define him: he is big money. Unfortunately, candidates can't help but look out for their own interests, and so it makes sense to vote for the person you have similar interests with. That raises a question. Why is more than one percent of the population considering voting for W? Straight out, he is a corporate, upper-class, Christian-right errand boy. If you are a millionaire, and think that the solution to every problem of our county can be found in the Bible, vote for Bush. George wants power. His daddy had it, and he wants it too, and if he is anything like his father, the next four years could end up being a bad episode of Pee-wee's playhouse meets Mr. Rogers. George Bush senior, went to the White House with two goals: not to raise taxes and never to eat broccoli again. Well, he raised taxes and Barbara made him eat his broccoli anyway.

Extractions: Election 2000 This year is an exciting one: Elections! Some of us, however, are experiencing the Election 2000 blues multi-million dollar campaigns, over-staged conventions, confusing rhetoric, manipulative statistics, and candidates who often look the same on most issues. It can be disheartening at times. Many experts predict low voter turnout in November because we enjoy one of the most prosperous economic spells in United States history. However, consequential decisions hang in the balance for our next Congress and Presidential Administration, including: Does the US possibly jeopardize peace among super-powers and embark on a National Missile Defense program? Shall we continue the sanctions and bombing on Iraq even though they aren't working as intended? Will we pass along our recent prosperity to the poorest of the world through debt relief? How will we prioritize health care, social security, gun violence, justice on death row, and other domestic issues? Certainly Election 2000 is as important as ever. Voting is at the center of our democracy. Additionally, our religious tradition calls us to respect and care for those around us and to give witness to our faith and the "calling to which we have been called" (Eph. 4:1) Thoughtful, prayerful participation in the election process can be part of that call. Please take the time this Fall to become acquainted with your candidates at local, state, and federal levels; then take the time to cast your measured vote of conscience.

Extractions: submitted by Michael Miller Eric L. Wee reports on the plight of the lowly college adjunct instructor: "States started to cut their higher education budgets. Costs at all universities began to rise. And as a growing percentage of the population began attending college over the past few decades, universities changed the way they operated. Critics call it the corporatization of higher ed. Colleges prefer to call it a shift toward greater efficiency. Either way, colleges started looking for places to make budget cuts. With personnel costs consuming a huge chunk of a university's budget, administrators across the country found their money problems solved by a type of teacher few people have heard of: the adjunct professor." "Adjuncts originally were local professionals who would teach an occasional college class on a part-time basis. The journalist would teach a course on news writing, a retired judge would speak about jurisprudence. Then colleges saw them as something else: cheap labor. Many had doctorates and were willing to teach a class for as little as $1,500. Often they'd accept less. They got no health benefits, and they were hired by the term. Colleges could let them go at any time. And they taught the general education courses the full-time faculty largely dreaded. Colleges across the country, primarily in urban areas, hired them in droves. Outsourcing and higher education teaching had finally met." (
