Don't you people have any new material? Shall we start bashing on McConkie now, just to complete the hat trick?

What progress? We have not made progress, merely concessions. Wake up!

Such institutions are concessions –conceded privilege from authority. Though we may mistake them as progress, they are not until absolute authority to make said concessions is conceded.

Is a black man running for president in the next election or is a man named Obama running for president?

Is a talented black athlete being recruited by BYU, or is a talented athlete being recruited by BYU?
