I have sort of a dilema. I went to school In providence Rhode Island but I am from Massachusetts. I graduated in May of 07. Right now I live in an apartment with my name on the lease in RI, but I use my parents' Massachusetts address as my permanent address. I have a bank account tied to my RI address and I have all my insurance (car, health, dental, life) tied to my Parents' address. Pretty much all of the bills at the RI address are in my name but my pay checks etc, student loans, and other things all get sent to my parents' address in Massachusetts. Is this a legal nightmare if I need to make a claim with my insurance? I really do consider my parents address as my permanent address I just have an apartment in RI as well I sort of live in two places. Should I have any concerns about this? That is the problem I am graduated, I should also add that I work in Massachusetts and do not pay taxes to Rhode Island. Could this be a potential problem as well? (more...)

?A SEXUAL crisis is tearing at the central nervous system of the Catholic Church,? stated Jason Berry, a Louisiana author who received a Catholic Press Association award for his coverage of pedophilia in the National Catholic Reporter. Regarding perverted sexual acts against children by the clergy, Berry went on to say in The Washington Post: ?Since 1985, scores of pedophilia cases involving priests or brothers have been recorded throughout America and Canada. As a result, U.S. dioceses have borne steep losses in law suits, and insurance coverage for such actions has evaporated. These changes have arrived amid a number of reports that as many as 10 to 20 percent of U.S. priests may be homosexually active.? The Providence Sunday Journal of Rhode Island states: ?Bishops in 29 states . . . have faced claims of damages by victims of sex abuse by Catholic clergy, and the Church has paid at least $60 million so far in judgments and settlements.? In Louisiana a priest admitted to molesting 35 boys and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, although, the Journal says, it was clear that he ?had assaulted at least 75 children over 10 years.? And a Rhode Island priest pleaded guilty to 26 counts of sex abuse involving young boys. An investigation of Covenant House, a shelter for runaway youths in New York City, revealed that the priest in charge had engaged in sexual misconduct with a number of young men and boys. And the Roman Catholic archbishop of Atlanta resigned after it was acknowledged that he had carried on a two-year sexual relationship with an unmarried mother. A conference of U.S. Catholic bishops received a report on the ?catastrophe? of priest pedophile litigation. The 100-page report, states the Journal, ?detailed a strategy for limiting the Church?s liability from civil lawsuits to $1 billion [$1,000 million] based on the 30 suits then pending.? The lawsuits are being brought by the Catholic parents of the children involved. And psychiatrists who treat the young victims of these crimes report long-term, often permanent, damage. God?s Word speaks of such ?disgraceful sexual appetites? by which males are ?inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene,? and adds that the ?righteous decree of God? is that ?those practicing such things are deserving of death.??Romans 1:26, 27, 32; see also 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10. Undoubtedly, much of the problem arises because of the unscriptural practice of celibacy, forbidding priests to marry. Yet, the Bible, God?s Word, states clearly that those in the Christian ministry may marry. As the Catholic Douay Version of the Bible expresses it: ?It behoveth therefore a bishop to be . . . the husband of one wife.? (1 Timothy 3:2) And it also states that ?forbidding to marry? is an evidence that ?some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils.??1 Timothy 4:1-3.

The period from the 1870?s to the 1890?s is often referred to as the gilded age rich vulgar, and corrupt this was the era of America?s natural adolescence. The U.S made its 1st forays into international affairs and empire building however, the excesses of this time gave rise to a popular movement for reform progressivism. The progressives were a varied group from many social economic and political backgrounds. Yet despite the differences they were able to unite around several common themes not the least of which were rights for women, growth pf progressivism, and social; welfare. Women's struggle for suffrage took many years. Women were not allowed to vote in the United States until the required number of states ratified the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920. But women had sought the right to vote for much of the 1800's. Pioneers such as Susan B. Anthony continued the push for women's voting rights through the end the century, and women such as Martha Carey Thomas continued the struggle into the 1900's. One of the first public appeals for woman suffrage came in 1848. Two reformers, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, called a women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y., where Stanton lived. The men and women at the convention adopted a Declaration of Sentiments that called for women to have equal rights in education, property, voting, and other matters. The declaration, which used the Declaration of Independence as a model, said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. Equally significant to progressive-era reform were the crusading journalists, known as muckrakers. These journalists revealed to middle class readers the evils of economic privilege, political corruption, and social injustice. Their articles appeared in McClure?s Magazine and other reform periodicals. Some muckrakers focused on corporate abuses. Ida Tarbell, for instance, exposed the activities of the Standard Oil Company. In The Shame of the Cities ,Lincoln Steffens dissected corruption in city government. In Following the Color Line ,Ray Stannard Baker criticized race relations. Other muckrakers assailed the Senate, railroad practices, insurance companies, and fraud in patent medicine. Novelists, too, revealed corporate injustices. Theodore Dreiser drew harsh portraits of a type of ruthless businessman in The Financier and The Titan. In The Jungle Socialist Upton Sinclair repelled readers with descriptions of Chicago?s meatpacking plants, and his work led to support for remedial legislation. Leading intellectuals also shaped the progressive mentality. In The Theory of the Leisure Class, Thorstein Veblen attacked the ?conspicuous consumption? of the wealthy. Educator John Dewey emphasized a child-centered philosophy of pedagogy, known as progressive education, which affected schoolrooms for three generations. Social Welfare in the late 19th Century was altering during the years and these are significant procedures that took place during the years .The Salvation Army is founded in the United States after William Booth established it in London in 1878.Clara Barton organizes the American Asso¬ciation of the Red Cross, which is renamed the American National Red Cross in 1893 and the American Red Cross in 1978.Booker T Washington founds the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, a leading black educational institution that emphasizes industrial training as a means to self-respect and economic independence for African Americans. The Federal Civil Service Commission is established. Germany under Bismarck, inaugurates accident, sickness, and old age insurance for work¬ers, influencing future U.S. worker demands for social welfare measures. The first special class for "mentally defi¬cient" people in an American public school is established in Providence, Rhode Island volunteers of America are founded. The first state hospital for crippled chil¬dren is founded in Minnesota. The first social work training school is established as an annual summer course for agency workers by the New York Charity Organiza¬tion Society, which in 1904 becomes the New York School of Philanthropy (and later the Columbia University School of Social Work .The National Federation of Day Nurseries is organized. The first US juvenile court is established in June as part of the Circuit Court of Chicago. All of these aspects effected the maturation of the United States. If anyone of the instances had not occurred the United States would be an altered and chaotic place. More than likely would resemble that of a third world country such as Iraq in which the government has its hands in everything. Which would probably have changed the world as we know it? Imagine women in the United States had to wear cloth over there face which could have been possible if suffrage had not taken place. Children my age working 20 hour jobs because there was no Child labor laws created. Finally think of working people dying of meat poising and families living in houses built for 1 person and bosses not caring about employees. This would have been reality if there was no Gilded Age or rise of Progressivism. (more...)
