Oh yeah? Well, yo mama is so ugly when she looked out the window she was arrested for indecent exposure! For those of you unfamiliar with this uniquely inner-city game played among many black Americans, it’s called, “the dozens.” But make no mistake, this game isn’t all about getting big laughs … it is fundamentally about undermining respect for others and gaining respect for oneself. Respect is what most everyone seeks, regardless of who they are, where they reside or the conditions in which they live. Take a look at the recent events in the Middle East. Since December of last year, hundreds of thousands of Muslims have become outraged about 12 cartoons that initially appeared in a Danish newspaper, which depicted caricatures of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT Pro-choice, pro-life: reframing the debate So much has been written about the conundrum of abortion — Roe v. Wade, right to life, right to choose, partial-birth abortion ban, unborn victims of violence act, life begins at ... fertilization? birth? or when? — that just raising the subject can cause the reader to grow weary, long before completing the first sentence. It is one of those defining issues that engages us as a society for so many disparate yet seminal reasons, one that the Supreme Court will certainly revisit sooner than later. And do so with Sandra Day O’Connor gone and Samuel Alito newly seated. Clearly, the American people are conflicted over abortion: while supporting Roe they understand the implications of abortion as a procedure, and recognize that it is a profoundly serious decision for any woman. To abort a fetus is invasive and traumatic, both physically and psychologically. And yet the public still wishes it to be an option for women; however, they view the choice not in the affirmative, but as the least of many evils. — OBITUARIES — POLICE Camelot pulls off a ‘Miracle’ Actors enjoy the power of recreating an inspirational true story In Review | Arthur's Dreams Playwright Richard Moeschl’s "Arthur's Dreams" superimposes the theme of death, rebirth and transformation of the human spirit onto mundane family events of three generations of the Ellis family. It’s a large undertaking, and it is to the playwright’s credit — as well as director Paul Roland’s skill — that, on the whole, it succeeds. Movies | T.V. | Calendar Stories updated by 6 p.m. Thursday ( Back issues available ) Camelot opens its 2006 season with William Gibson’s Tony Award Winning play, “The Miracle Worker.” This stirring dramatization of the story of Helen Keller is one of the most successful and warmly admired plays of the modern stage. An evolving art form Digital art often gets a bad rap, but eventually this new art form will likely follow in the path of what also was once thought to never be a true art, photography, says digital artist Bruce Bayard. LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS: Authors speaking in Ashland Movies: Now playing ‘Affluent beggars’ an opportunity to examine ourselves Forgive me, but I’m feeling yanked in a couple of directions by the current discussion / firefight over Jason Pancoast and Elizabeth Johnson — you remember, the “affluent beggars” who walk our streets and whose story has been spread across the country by the Associated Press. And it’s easy to say you feel compassion for the homeless until you meet people like Jason and Elizabeth who’ve been pretty, shall we say, up-front about their situation.
