A series of hand gestures, each representing a letter of the alphabet or an entire phrase; Very useful to deaf people & also if you're somewhere ya gotta be quiet so you just sign instead of talk. It originated in the early 19th century in the American School for the deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.
Monica's daughter is deaf so I got to see American Sign Language in action. It was a very interesting experience & her siblings knew how to sign too; their fingers just flew!

Get the american school mug.While the definition of politics states, "the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy, m-w.com", American Politics is where elected officials debate unrealistic and unreasonable proposals in order to pander to their base and get re-elected.
American Politics is why that gay marriage amendment has no chance in hell of being ratified.
Because of the intricacies (difficult to resolve or analyze, m-w.com) of American Politics, democrats are responding to that bullshit proposal with a rediculously short pull-out deadline.

Get the American Politics mug.An actual website is available on this neocon think tank's.... well i can only describe it as machiavellian plan explaining how United States hegemony is good for the entire world and how a 'new pearl harbor'(see 9/11) is needed to sell this blatantly Imperial plot cooked up great Americans as diverse as: Lewis Libby,Donald Rumsfeld,Richard Perle,Paul Wolfowitz,Dan Quayle,Jeb Bush.
So, in light of the past 5 years, i half to conclude the current administration may not being completely bang up truthful with us.
However, no amount of evidence will EVER persuade true believers the house of Bush is playing them like a Uklaly,Americans seem to be highly sensitive to ANY criticism, no matter how warranted and well intentioned,usually assuming it to be hate speech and jealousy, so i guess this doesn't really accomplish anything, but if the western media was half as informative and 'liberal' as it is reputed to be, this should've been plastered over every newspaper across the country that isn't 'the weekly standard'or 'Wall st. Journal' BEFORE invading Iraq so the public could make its own minds up regarding the legitamacy of the president's claims of WMDs indstead of being scared shitless into docility.
