Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of American Youth (12th-Grade Survey), 1998 (ICPSR 2751)
Alternate Title: MTF 1998 (12th Grade)
Principal Investigator(s): Bachman, Jerald G., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Survey Research Center; Johnston, Lloyd D., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Survey Research Center; O'Malley, Patrick M., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Survey Research Center
This is the 24th annual survey in this series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth. Students are randomly assigned to complete one of six questionnaires, each with a different subset of topical questions but all containing a set of "core" questions on demographics and drug use. There are about 1,400 variables across the questionnaires. Drugs covered by this survey include tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, hashish, LSD, hallucinogens, amphetamines (stimulants), Ritalin (methylphenidate), quaaludes, barbiturates (tranquilizers), cocaine, crack, and heroin. Other items include attitudes toward religion, parental influences, changing roles for women, educational aspirations, self-esteem, exposure to drug education, and violence and crime -- both in and out of school.
Access Notes
The public-use data files in this collection are available for access by the general public. Access does not require affiliation with an ICPSR member institution.

This study was funded by:
- United States Department of Health and Human Services. National Institutes of Health. National Institute on Drug Abuse (5R01DA01411-24)
Scope of Study
Subject Terms: attitudes, demographic characteristics, drug use, family life, high school students, life plans, lifestyles, social behavior, social change, values, youths
Geographic Coverage: United States
- 1998
- 1998 (Spring)
Universe: High school seniors in the contiguous United States.
(1) To protect the anonymity of respondents, all variables that could be used to identify individuals have been collapsed or recoded on the public use files. These modifications should not affect analytic uses of the public use files. (2) Variables omitted from the Western region questionnaires are noted in each codebook. (3) Users are advised that there are seven parts to the collection: one containing the "key" or core questions for all six questionnaires and a separate part for each of the six different questionnaire forms. The core file consists of all respondents for all six questionnaires, however, only those variables that appear on all six questionnaires and demographic variables are found in this file. The core file consists primarily of drug use data and demographic variables. (4) The collection is documented by machine-readable codebooks with a separate codebook for each part. Users are further advised to consult the appropriate MONITORING THE FUTURE: QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSES FROM THE NATION'S HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS annual volume, available from the Monitoring the Future staff, for more information about the collection.
MTF does not release detailed geography codes in its public use files because of the disclosure risk it would cause. The MTF sample is drawn to generate representative samples of the four Census Bureau regions of the country (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West), but it does not generate representative samples of smaller geographic areas such as states, counties, or cities. For additional information about data that is withheld from the public use files please contact MTF directly at email@example.com.
Sample: Multistage area probability sample design involving three selection stages: (1) geographic areas or primary sampling units (PSUs), (2) schools (or linked groups of schools) within PSUs, and (3) students within sampled schools. Of the 80 PSUs, 8 were selected with certainty and 72 were selected with probability proportionate to size based on the size of the senior class. In schools with more than 400 seniors, a random sample of seniors or classes was drawn. In schools with less than 400 seniors, all seniors were asked to participate. Each school was asked to participate for two years so that each year one-half of the sample is replaced. Schools refusing participation were replaced with similar schools in terms of geographic location, size, and type of school (e.g., public, private/Catholic, private/non-Catholic). The total sample was divided into six subsamples consisting of an average of 2,700 respondents, and each subsample was administered a different form of the questionnaire, although all respondents answered the "core" drug and demographic questions. The participation rate among schools has been between 66 and 80 percent since the inception of the study. The overall student response rate for 1998 was 82 percent.
Mode of Data Collection: self-enumerated questionnaire
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Original ICPSR Release: 2000-03-15
- 2006-05-15 Minor edits were made to the metadata and documentation.
- 2005-11-04 On 2005-03-14 new files were added to one or more datasets. These files included additional setup files as well as one or more of the following: SAS program, SAS transport, SPSS portable, and Stata system files. The metadata record was revised 2005-11-04 to reflect these additions.

File: [cvs.NetBSD.org] / src / UPDATING (download)
Revision 1.10, Mon Jan 15 15:03:38 2001 UTC (16 years, 2 months ago) by christos
mention that we need to build make first. |
$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.10 2001/01/15 15:03:38 christos Exp $ This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work. For a more detailed description see Makefile. Recent changes: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 20010114: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing anything make and install in /usr/bin/make, then proceed with make build. 20010101: bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again. 20001230: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables. If you get make errors, (cd share/mk; make install) Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily. 20001019: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev directory. 20000929: The following make directives are obsoleted. MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be bulit into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}. 20000623: MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk. 'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build. Hints for a more successful build: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Build a new kernel first: This makes sure that any new system calls or features expected by the new userland will be present. This helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading. Use object directories: This helps to keep stale object files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets" about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the same source tree for multiple machines. To use object directories: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf d) cd /usr/src ; make build Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create in obj.$MACHINE directory. Build to a DESTDIR: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries) from interfering with the new build. To build to a DESTDIR, set the DESTDIR environment variable before running make build. It should be set to the pathname of an initially empty directory. Problems: you might need to update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR. (See critical utils, below) Build often: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to date functionality. What to do if things don't work: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly should be done. 1) make includes This should be done automatically by make build. 2) cd share/mk && make install Again, automatically done by make build. Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do something like the following: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date. 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...) 3) cd ...path/to/util... make cleandir rm ...all obj directories... make cleandir # yes, again make obj make depend && make Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf. ---cut here--- #!/bin/sh . /etc/mk.conf if [ -z $BSDSRCDIR ] ; then BSDSRCDIR=/usr/src fi if [ \! -d $BSDSRCDIR ] ; then echo Unable to find sources exit 1 fi find $BSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \; if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj fi if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR fi cd $BSDSRCDIR && make cleandir ---cut here--- Critical utilities: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ gnu/usr.bin/egcs usr.bin/compile_et usr.bin/make usr.bin/yacc usr.bin/lex usr.sbin/config Other problems and possibly solutions: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Symptom:Unreasonable compiler errors. Fix: Rebuild gnu/usr.bin/egcs Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile. Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date. cd share/mk && make install Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC. Fix: Rebuild usr.sbin/config Symptom: Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc Symptom: Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex Symptom: Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question. make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files may remain. The command tries to clean everything up) Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc

The Benefits of Proper Nutrition
They Are What They Eat
Now that MyBowl has taught you what goes into good nutrition for your dog, we will take a look at the benefits of good nutrition and why your dog deserves the very best food you can possibly provide. All necessary vitamins and minerals are included in complete and balanced dog foods. This means that additional foods or supplements do not need to be given to maintain your pet's general health.
It's All About Balance
The proper balance of nutrients is essential when feeding your dog. Animals (and humans) need a certain combination of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water every day in order to function normally. Balanced nutrition is no accident -- pet food manufacturers work hard to determine the exact formula that goes into their products so that they provide everything your dog needs on a daily basis. Each and every nutrient in dog food has a purpose.
Each 'Cog' Has Its Role...
Without adequate nutrition, your dog would not be able to maintain muscle tone, build and repair muscles, teeth, and bone, perform normal daily activities with ease or fight-off infection. Proteins provide energy and help with muscle function and growth. Fats provide energy and keep the skin and hair coat shiny and healthy. Carbohydrates supply a source of quick energy. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for muscle contraction, nerve conduction and they work to prevent disease.
Every single cell in the body is made of protein. Protein is necessary to repair damaged cells and make new ones. Protein is especially important for young, growing and pregnant animals. The protein in your dog's diet ensures that he is able to build and maintain strong muscles. This is why one of the first few ingredients on a dog food label should be a protein source (chicken, beef, etc.).
Omega Fatty Acids
Everyone knows that a dog with a rich, shiny hair coat is probably in good health. Dogs eating the proper balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have healthy skin and hair coat. Dry skin will lead to hair that easily splits, breaks, and falls out easily. Omega-3 fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect to reduce itching and other irritations caused by allergies or environmental conditions (like low humidity levels in the winter).
Carbohydrates provide fiber that helps aid digestion. Dog foods are formulated so that nutrients are readily available to your dog's digestive system and easily absorbed by the body. Digestibility is important so your dog can use all the nutrients in his food and easily rid his body of waste products. Your dog's food should provide all the nutrition he needs while producing only a minimum of stool to be picked up.
Vitamins and Minerals
The vitamins and minerals found in every bag of dog food work together to keep your dog's immune system and metabolism functioning normally. Vitamins work to reduce the damage done to body cells on a daily basis. Minerals promote the normal function of the cells that maintain health. Vitamins and minerals come from both plant and animal sources in the diet. Without adequate levels of vitamins and minerals, your pet would eventually become ill.

what a misleading slide show! As if pet food manufacturers are using fresh meats and the optimal nutrients for pet health in their kibbles.
Ingredients for kibble are necessarily DRY, and overloaded with more grains and other plant-based materials and carbs than pets should be eating. This is bad for dogs, and even worse for cats! And according to the Merck Veterinary Manual, there is no known requirement for carbohydrates in the diet of dogs and cats.
Thousands of pets have been sickened and killed by "complete and balanced" pet food. It is a myth to believe that any one food product can possibly be "complete and balanced". Freshness and variety are the key components of healthy and wholesome foods.
Along with the grains that are unfit for human consumption, our pets also receive various poisonous mycotoxins. According to a 2006 article in the International Journal of Food Microbiology and available in PubMed, "aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, and Fusarium mycotoxins have been found in both raw ingredients and final products of pet food around the globe. Aflatoxin, a hepatotoxin and carcinogen, has caused several food poisoning outbreaks in dogs, and aflatoxin content is regulated in pet food in many countries. Ochratoxin A and Fusarium mycotoxins including trichothecenes, zearalenone, and fumonisins may have chronic effects on the health of companion animals."
There have been deaths due to overdoses of minerals in pet foods and there have beeen deaths due to vitamin deficiencies. So much for "complete and balanced". Yet the pet food companies keep churning out their propaganda studies....performed by those hired by the companies that produce the food.
The type of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that dogs and cats need come historically from prey animals, like rodents and birds. But dog food companies use flaxseed almost exclusively as a cheap source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Flax is NOT a source of DHA or EPA, but it is a source of ALA. Dogs and cats cannot reliably convert ALA into EPA and DHA. The optimal source for these nutrients is fish or seafood.
Do your pets a favor and avoid commercial pet foods. Check my four-part article on Topics in Nutrition for more information:
mysite.verizon.net/res8w765/id57.html -
Almmost forgot to mention the huge problem with ingredients sourced from China. Have we all forgotten so quickly the thousands of pet deaths from melamine and cyanuric acid that was INTENTIONALLY used in pet food ingredients sourced from China?
Virtually all pet foods add powdered taurine (an essential amino acid) to their mix to avoid the inevitable taurine deficiency that results from cooking commercial pet foods under high heat and pressure. However, most all powdered taurine is sourced from China. A simple change to feeding fresh meat and eggs will provide a natual source of fresh and healthful taurine for your pet.

Average rents on Cold Harbour Lane range from between £850 to £2,500 per month depending on the size of the property, but invariably this area provides a high quality of housing stock to landlords and tenants alike.
Recent rent valuations around Cold Harbour Lane
Property in Lambeth is mainly made up of apartments, making it ideal for landlords looking to invest in detached, but a less hospitable street for tenants seeking properties of that type.
There's very strong tenant demand across Lambeth, meaning properties can be quick to let.
"Lambeth's popularity is obvious – close proximity to central London, a variety of property types and a buzzing cultural and social scene make it a real draw for young professionals."

Hotel Transylvania
Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them.

For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem - but this could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A tearful President Barack Obama says the country's leaders must "take meaningful action" regardless of politics in response to the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
The president teared up, at times using an index finger to wipe at the corner of his eyes, as he addressed the nation from the White House. He also paused repeatedly as he struggled to keep his composure while speaking of the children — ages 5 to 10 — who had died and the life milestones they now would miss.
He said, quote, "Our hearts are broken."
Shortly before speaking, Obama ordered that U.S. flags be flown at half-staff on public grounds through Tuesday.

Bold and beautiful collection featuring elegant White Alabaster glass and our rich Castle Bronze finish.
From the hearts and souls of two brothers convinced that family matters above all else, emerged Maxim Lighting®, a unique company founded on the values and principles passed down to them for generations—wise, compassionate leadership; respect at all levels; support and collaboration; a strong work ethic; and earned loyalty. From the designers to the manufacturers, from the sales representatives to the customers, Maxim Lighting functions as a closely knit family, committed to understanding and meeting the needs of each member. This simple but powerful philosophy propelled Maxim Lighting to the top of the lighting industry and continues to set the company and its people apart from the status quo.
Maxim Lighting began with the hard work and dedication of Jacob Sperling, who came to Los Angeles on a student visa in 1965 to pursue his education in aeronautical engineering. While studying, he worked as a sales associate for a lighting retailer and became acquainted with the lighting industry. Jacob quickly realized that customer satisfaction led to innovation in both design and utility. Soon, he was spending his nights working in his garage that he turned into a makeshift factory, designing and engineering his own fixtures and selling them locally. His customers were so impressed by his original, innovative designs in beveled glass and brass that demand increased and Jacob began selling his designs throughout California from the back of his station wagon. In 1970, Jacob asked his brother, Zvi Sperling, to assist him in creating a company focused on customer needs and expectations—and the family business was born.
By 1975, Maxim Lighting had grown out of Jacob's garage and into a 100,000-square-foot warehouse in downtown Los Angeles with 25 employees. Zvi oversaw sales and marketing, while Jacob focused on design and production. That year, the line comprised 150 different designs, and Maxim Lighting hit its first million in revenues.
Cramped for space and still growing, Maxim Lighting moved to a 206,000-square-foot facility in City of Industry in 1989. Zvi organized a network of manufacturer sales representatives equipped to showcase Maxim Lighting products throughout the United States, while Jacob trained a local workforce of over 400 employees in the production and manufacturing of his designs. During this time, Jacob traveled frequently to East Asia in search of alternative materials, and in 1992, he opened an official Maxim Lighting office in China. He now splits his time between China and the West Coast, as Zvi heads the U.S. marketing and sales efforts, personally meeting with sales representatives and customers.
Always searching for better ways to serve the industry, the Sperlings recognized the need to strengthen the link between lighting showroom distributors and residential homebuilders. They responded in 2003 by launching Maxim Lighting's Builder Program, a network of manufacturer sales representatives intrinsically familiar with both the homebuilder business and the showroom distribution industry. Valuing and fostering the intimate relationship between these two entities enables Maxim Lighting to deepen its understanding of pricing, quality, stocking requirements, design, and utility, and illustrates, once again, the effectiveness of the Maxim Lighting family model.
These close relationships keep Maxim Lighting keenly in tune with design trends and market demand, and inspired the Sperlings to expand their family. In 2004, Maxim Lighting introduced ET2 Contemporary Lighting™, an exciting addition of contemporary designs to complement Maxim Lighting's more traditional lines. Jacob's first ET2 line embodied the principles of fine art, incorporating the elements of form, function, and aesthetics. While traditional styling remains Maxim Lighting's main market, ET2 Contemporary Lighting designs have met with immense favor in the industry and have paved the way for a new divisional focus on commercial and hospitality lighting that strengthens the efforts of both Maxim Lighting and ET2 Contemporary Lighting. As the newer contemporary designs meet a sophisticated and growing demand for unique, innovative lighting solutions, the clean lines and sleek finishes also elevate the impact of every showroom they grace, creating a fresh, forward-thinking atmosphere.
As one advance leads to another, Maxim Lighting's next step toward total customer care led to the integration of technology with customer service. A true pioneer, Maxim Lighting became one of the first lighting manufacturers to utilize the Internet to better meet industry and customer needs and provide outstanding service, and is one of today's strongest ecommerce providers. This strategic move came with extensive planning and a solid commitment to keep the family model strong and healthy. Much like the advent of ET2 Contemporary Lighting, the addition of online capabilities greatly enhanced the traditional Maxim Lighting customer experience without diminishing the essence of what has served the company so well for so many years. Unparalleled showroom support continues to stand as a Maxim Lighting hallmark.
Maxim Lighting's enduring philosophical commitment has sustained it through economic downturn and united it during times of prosperity. In 2010, the Maxim Lighting family turned 40. And, while this brief glimpse at the past four decades highlights important milestones and chronicles steady growth, it by no means tells the whole story. With warehouse shipping locations on both coasts, a remarkable team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals, and visionaries at the helm, the Maxim Lighting family continues to expand and explore new ways to serve, design, manufacture, and light the world with excellence.

Dreams are accepted in many cultures as a source of revelation. God has often revealed Himself through dreams and visions. This is especially important among Unreached Peoples where there is little or no witness.
Joel 2:28-32 "And it will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions."
Lord, You have the name that is above all names. You are Lord forever and there is no one who can challenge Your authority and power. You rule for ever and ever, and there is no end to Your Kingdom.
Lord, You have promised in Your Word that You would pour out Your Spirit in the last days. So I'm asking for an outpouring of revelation for the

About the Author
- Read a New York Times profile about Charles Portis, which describes his eluding of public life and his writing's characteristic deadpan humor: "Mr. Portis evokes an eccentric, absurd world with a completely straight face. As a result there are not a lot of laugh-out-loud moments or explosive set pieces here. Instead of shooting off fireworks the books shimmer with a continuous comic glow."
- A profile in the Wall Street Journal.
- An article in The Believer.

Find a great value Heater Matrix Specialist in Houghton le Spring with Who Can Fix My Car.
please avoid this garage. i had some work done namely the clutch. the guy who dropped my car back to me took my money and claimed he would email my invoice. after numerous calls to this garage and also who can fix my car contacting them, still no invoice. i,ve had no option but to report this garage to the trading standards and also the motors ombudsman. who can fix my car had stated to me that other customers were claiming they had the same issue as me. no invoice. a warranty would not exist without an invoice. i am very doubous that they actually carried out the full clutch replacement. thats my experience. would i recommend definately not AVOID AVOID AVOID.
Staff at the Garage were really friendly and gave me a full run down of what he had checked in my full service, and advised that I could do with some new tyres which I hadn't noticed, I would use again. Total bargain.
Great service at a great price. Phoned and arranged for a full service and MOT. Car was picked up from Newcastle in the morning and returned before 3pm with the job completed. Will definitely use this garage again.
great service
Great service.....they picked up the car from my home which is in Tynemouth about 12 miles from the garage and delivered it back the next evening with a new clutch and fly wheel. They kept to there agreed price which was £200 cheaper than my own garage I usually use. They were such lovely people and Robert the owner went beyond the call of duty to give me money saving options....I was truly impressed and have already started to tell friends and family about the benefits of using R T Garage services.....derek Irving Tynemouth
Great price, great service. All work done as expected. Would definitely use again.
Excellent service really friendly and helpful
Great service picked up the same day.
Brilliant service from this company, can't fault them. Collected my car from my home and offered to bring it back again. Price I paid was the same I was quoted. Great local company that I'd use again in a heartbeat.
Excellent service, pick up and drop off included in price, 4 new tyres which was £100 cheaper than kwik fit for the same type of tyre, would definitely use in the future, thank you

Newly separated from her husband and without a job, Judith (Ilse Rande) takes a young lover (Stig Ramsing), a carpenter belonging to a different world than her own upper-class shell. The macho carpenter teaches the once-frigid suburban wife a thing or two about reality (and sex), thereby forcing her to reassess her relationship with several estranged family members. Directed with a fusion of dreamy imagery and harsh realism, Jytte Rex's almost too clever approach is definitely not for everyone.~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

Celebrating an Indivisible Nation with an Indivisible Brew
One of the reasons I decided to work at Starbucks was that I knew I would have the opportunity to work on some really cool community-focused projects. But I didn't know that I would have the opportunity to work on a product that would have a positive impact on one of the most pressing problems facing America today: creating jobs.
Indivisible Blend is a Starbucks® Blonde Roast coffee that represents the spirit of America, past and future. Like our indivisible country, this coffee celebrates our history through world-class blending expertise; and our future through our new Starbucks® Blonde Roast coffees, and it's delicious both hot and iced.
What else does this coffee deliver? Jobs. For every pound purchased, Starbucks will donate $5 to the Create Jobs for USA Fund, helping get Americans back to work.
We would love to hear your tasting notes on our newest Blonde Roast coffee. Tell us what you think.

The trial of George Zimmerman, accused of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, inevitably and quickly devolved into a contest of who is more racist -- the victim or the accused?
The question was inevitable because the prosecution is basing its case largely on the suggestion that Zimmerman profiled the 17-year-old African-American, allegedly deciding he was a potential threat by virtue of his race.
This assumption was somewhat complicated Thursday during testimony by 19-year-old Rachel Jeantel, a friend of Martin�s who was talking to him by cellphone shortly before he was shot. Sidebar: Poor Jeantel. Whether she is a credible witness will be determined by the jury, but the rest of us really ought to cut the girl some slack. She is young, obviously playing on alien turf and having a tough-enough time on the witness stand without further commentary. She may, indeed, be the best argument yet for keeping cameras out of the courtroom, but that is another discussion.
Jeantel�s contribution to the race discussion included a quote she attributed to Martin when he told her a �creepy-ass cracker� was watching him. No doubt Zimmerman did seem creepy. He was following Martin after all, who, as far as anyone knows with certainty, was merely walking home from a convenience store. Does Martin�s use of �cracker� mean he was a racist and, therefore, may have instigated the struggle that, according to the defense, compelled Zimmerman to shoot Martin in self-defense?
Jeantel told defense attorney Don �Knock-Knock� West that, no, she doesn�t consider �cracker� a racist term. Apparently, most whites don�t either. In street interviews, CNN found that whites are not as offended by the term �cracker� as they are by the N-word.
For the record, there�s no evidence that Zimmerman ever used the N-word. He is captured on tape saying �F -- ing punks� and �These a -- holes, they always get away.� Is he talking about blacks? Teens wearing hoods? Burglars, some number of whom recently had been targeting his neighborhood? Only conjecture produces a strictly racist interpretation.
So what about �cracker?� Is it ever or always an insult? And what might we infer by Martin�s use of it to describe his pursuer?
Merriam-Webster defines cracker as: usually disparaging: a poor usually Southern white; capitalized: a native or resident of Florida or Georgia -- used as a nickname.
But the best explanation of crackers can be found in �The Cracker Kitchen,� a cookbook and story collection by novelist and proud cracker Janis Owens. It is a both a cultural defense and literary critique of the poor, white folks whence Owens (and most of us Scots-Irish) came -- an unfrilly valentine pressed between recipes for fried frog legs and baked armadillo. The daughter of a fire-breathing Pentecostal preacher, Owens traces �cracker� to William Shakespeare�s �The Life and Death of King John:� �What cracker is this same that deafe our eares with this abundance of superfluous breath?�
Now there�s an invective worth memorizing for future hurling.
Native-born to Florida�s panhandle, aka Alabama�s Riviera, Owens has embraced her crackerhood and uses the term endearingly, just as African-Americans often use the N-word, recovered from racist whites, to refer to one another. Similarly, Eve Ensler�s �The Vagina Monologues� includes a chapter celebrating the C-word, effectively stealing it back from those who use it to denigrate women. Reclaiming ownership of an offensive word is a revolutionary act that strips the term of its power to wound. Call it linguistic disarmament.
For those needing a refresher course, here are just a few reasons why cracker doesn�t compare to the N-word. Cracker has never been used routinely to:
-- Deny a white person a seat at the lunch counter;
-- Systematically deny whites the right to vote;
-- Deny a white person a seat near the front of a bus;
-- Crack the skulls of peaceful white protesters marching for equality;
-- Blow up a church and kill four little white girls;
Need more? Didn�t think so.
Cracker may be a pejorative in some circles. It may even be used to insult a white person. But it clearly lacks the grievous, historical freight of the other.
Martin�s use of the term �cracker� doesn�t make him a racist any more than Zimmerman�s resentment of �punks� necessarily makes him a murderous racial profiler. These words, and the case built upon them, ultimately may prove little more than an abundance of superfluous breath.
