April 15 is perhaps overall the most dreaded day in America each year. We all know the wonderful feeling that comes with handing our government our hard-earned money. We resign ourselves to paying taxes, even if we don't like it. This year, however, is a little different. All across the nation, organizers and grassroots organizations planned marches and rallies on April 15, Tax Day. Under the slogan "Taxed Enough Already," over 500 "tea party" protests attracted an estimated half-million supporters, including 300 right here in Houghton.

The Thirteenth Amendment is known by every average American, and is as follows: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

We live in a culture that is constantly throwing information at us. Everywhere we go, we see television, newspapers, and the Internet ablaze with the latest local and world news. We struggle to stay above the surface as it all rushes by, and many times it seems we don't have enough time to break apart the meat from the bones, so to speak. While a great source for news, secular media is just that: secular.
