Interpretation 2
Interpretation 2 Humans are set apart from all other animals for one reason. We have the power of imagination and thus power to interpret what we read. Therefore, we can argue that the written word is the most meaningful of all types of communication.

There is a soda by his side, and potato chip crumbs strewn about. He occasionally has glasses, sometimes caused by the endless...
Internet Tax
Internet Tax The sign at Wal-Mart says, "99 Cents." Although, if you go through the checkout line and greet the cashier with merely a dollar, the cashier would laugh at you. The price isn't ninety-nine cents, it's $1.06. The taxman at our friendly Raymore Wal-Mart claims an additional 7.45% of one's hard earned dollars. The additional seven cents doesn't sound like much, but it is when it's seven additional cents for each dollar of the thousands of dollars that a person spends at a business ...
Internet censorship
Internet censorship Speech II Outline Intro: Censorship is when a third party makes decisions about what can be communicated between two people; even if the two agree that the censorship is okay, it is still censorship.

You're too smart, too stupid, too beautiful, too ugly, too hard, too soft, too nice too mean; we've all heard it. Almost everyone can indicate some i...
