This past week U.S. Senator Barack Obama officially accepted his party's nomination for president, becoming the first African-American to be nominated by a major political party for the highest-ranking office in the country.

The next day, Republican presidential nominee John McCain tried to steal some of Obama's historical thunder by announcing his choice for Vice President, that of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.  Although McCain was praised for choosing a woman to serve as his running mate (a first for the Republican party), his decision came as a complete shock to American citizens as well as political pundits.
Gang-violence among urban-city youth has claimed hundreds, if not thousands of lives -- and Los Angeles is no exception.
