Slavery and discrimination were both evil and probably have to do with where we are today. Still, is the way we got to the evil of slavery at all relevant. I mean, was it really just a coincidence that Europeans managed to build entire naval fleets and navigate around Africa and the New World while Africans were still using shields and spears?

What it means is that your adviser has too many PSes to read and forgets what you were told to change. If the problems are small, then don't worry about it and submit (so long as the small problems are not grammatical errors).

GW full-ride hands down. The latest rankings undervalue the school thanks to USNWR's new part-time quotient. It was ~#20 before and I view it as such. Even if you consider it to be in the upper 20s, it's still in DC (i.e. great access to firms) and you can always stick that full ride on your resume....
