Guest opinions are selected in accordance with that any tradition’s modern beliefs word length, subject relevance, and space considerations. and practices are the same as those of its original adherents. And because practices and beliefs are so fluid, any debate about whether a tradition such as Christianity is inherently beneficial or detrimental to the broader culture within which it exists is fundamental- ly misguided. Anyone who doubts whether Christianity, which I use simply as one example, has undergone massive changes over the centuries ought to more closely examine its history. Though little independently verifiable information about the church’s earliest years exists, there can be no doubt that it was originally quite subversive. Rather than encouraging people to live ordinary lives within the existing social order, Jesus’ teachings advocate aban- doning one’s position in society and material possessions and dedicating oneself fully to helping the needy and spreading his redemptive message. Christianity’s earliest opponents accused its members of dangerous anti- social activity. Within Jewish society, traditionalists at the time were unhap- py because the Christians denied the temple priesthood’s spiritual authority. And within the Roman Empire more broadly political authorities quickly grew angry at Christians’ refusal to participate in the Roman civic religious ceremonies that symbolized member- ship in and submission to the govern- ing order. Thus, those in power during the religion’s initial expansion did what they could to suppress it. Of course, all efforts aimed at stamping out Christianity failed and, after several centuries, the tradition rose to a position of dominance Guest Opinion throughout the Mediterranean world. With this success came many changes. As the Roman Empire dissolved, the church became the dominant organi- zation in that part of the world. Thus, an ideology that originally advocated pacifism and avoiding excessive ties to A new social contract the physical world slowly developed into a belief system that justified a For the first time since 1964, Democrats have a good chance not just to win the In the 1960s, Democrats turned to expanding the middle class.

8 - The Daily Iowan - Iowa City, Iowa - Monday, June 23, 2008 If all economists were laid end to end, they would “ not reach a conclusion. ” Daily Break — George Bernard Shaw Monday, June 23, 2008 HIGH WATER horoscopes — by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let someone you are close to ruin your plans. Moving ahead alone will lead to an interesting turn of events and to individuals with ideas. Act fast and with confidence and you will reach your goal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taking anyone or anything too seriously will end in your loss. Make sure the information you’ve been given is factual. Someone is likely to use emotion- al blackmail to get you to do things her or his way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take pride in what you do, and others will notice. A good idea can be put into play, aiding your advancement. A lesson learned will come to your rescue now. An investment deal or settlement can be dealt with positively. Change should not be initiated. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Not everything will go your way, but if you can remain light- hearted and positive, you can shake off the negativity that has been following you around. A friend is likely to show her or his true colors. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a breather from your hectic schedule. Once you realize what’s missing or needs to be changed, you will be much happier with your choices. A more suit- able position is apparent; it should be considered. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Participating will be the key to everything that unfolds for you today. Don’t wait for people and opportunities to come to you. Make it happen. It’s time to be a leader, not a follower. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t expect everyone to be on your side. You can’t always keep the peace in order to appease others. This is not a day to make sacrifices but rather to fol- low your heart and your goals. Thoughts should be followed by actions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Confusion will lead to mistakes that you can’t afford. Ask a trusted or experienced guide to help you make the right personal and professional choic- es. An emotional twist will end up being your saving grace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take off, go places, do things, and avoid anyone putting demands on you. You will only feel obligated to do things you don’t want to do. If some- one wants to make changes, let her or him do it alone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your unusual approach to the way you do things will catch people off-guard. You can make some interesting vocational changes if you implement sel- dom-used talents. An opportunity to partner with someone is apparent. Love is on the rise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid arguments of any kind. Get out with friends or take up a hobby that will keep you busy and out of trouble. Look at any project or pastime that Ben Roberts/The Daily Iowan can lead to extra cash. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t question what others are doing or meddle in affairs that Flags mark floodwater levels on Kirkwood Street near the Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Plant on don’t concern you or you will miss out on interesting options you have with loved ones.

After winning the Iowa Corn Indy 250, Dan Wheldon donated his winnings to flood relief.

IOWA WRESTLING Metcalf scoops up another honor Iowa junior-to-be and national champion wrestler Brent Metcalf was named the Big Ten’s Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year. He was chosen over Northwestern’s Dustin Fox — last year’s NCAA heavy- weight champion — and Minnesota’s Jayson Ness — last year’s 125-pound run- ner-up — among other out- standing Big Ten athletes. Finishing with a 35-1 record during his sophomore campaign, Metcalf has received other prestigious awards, among them the NCAA Wrestler of the Year. In January, he became the first wrestler in Big Ten history to be named Wrestler of the Week two weeks in a row. The 149-pound Virginia Tech- transfer also won last year’s Dan Hodge Trophy, an award given to the country’s best college wrestler. He is the fourth male in Robin Svec/The Daily Iowan Iowa’s history to receive this honor since the award’s Target Chip Ganassi Team driver Dan Wheldon hoists his trophy above his head after winning the Iowa Corn Indy 250 at the Iowa Speedway on Sunday. Wheldon was inception in 1982. Hawkeye followed by Andretti-Green Racing’s Hideki Mutoh in second place and Mutoh’s teammate Marco Andretti in third place. wrestlers Ed Banach (1983) and Barry Davis (1985) are other recipients.
