LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
s incredible as it may seem, seventy three years after the
Scopes "Monkey Trial," the debate between creationism
and evolutionism
still rages in Tennessee. Nashville Scene's
Jesse Fox Mayshark reports on this heated issue in regard to the
Tennessee legislature, science community, and school systems.
Speaking of heated issues, let's move over to the right to
bear arms and how it has impacted on this country. Why have there
been five mass shootings in the last fifteen months with children
killing other children? Jim Hanas of the Memphis Flyer
tells us that the answer is right in front of us and makes the
Gun Issue look pretty damn simple.
Don't miss FW Weekly's Paula Felps' piece on Amway,
the vast "multi-marketing" business. Victims of Amway
call it a Cult and a sham. Supporters say they're living the American
Dream. Felps follows one woman's path through her experience
with the company. What is Amway? Read on and you make the call.
