Energy Plan

I believe that Carter's approach to our energy crisis is a good first step towards bettering our fuel situation. In order to make people change their fuel usage, the government must step in and try to regulate the amount of fuel used. Taxing gas guzzling cars will discourage the use of these cars thus decreasing the amount of fuel used. Also he plans to reward citizens who convert to alternative forms of energy by giving then tax credit or loans. Carter will also fund research to help find alternative energy sources that can be used in the place of gasoline.

Protest song

Machinist by Haveheart

i see the free which you enslave,
the walking you keep chained
i see the growth which keep caged
and i've seen the minds that go un-raged

i see the body robbed of soul
to be the fuel for your control
i see the standing knocked to their knees,
and i've seen the human beings you treat

like machines

MACHINIST
i am not, i am not, i am not a machine
i am, i am, i am a human being

a stagnant life's a victory
for the lover of life that never breeds
perpetuate and obliterate
those addicted to living on their knees
the dealers deplete you,
yeah dealers beat you like you're drum without a tone

YOU'RE JUST SKIN AND BONES
until you say
NO MORE, NO MORE
unlike the silent machines who wont settle
THE SCORE, THE SCORE
unlike the lifeless objects they want you to be

Let our voices form the weapons
Our Voices

no silence,
no compliance,
in defiance of the rape of growth

This song is about Protesting how the government generalizes all people into becoming so entranced in their manipulation that they become more like machines than people. Machines that do what the government asks without any questions. This song is telling them to speak out against the government and how they treat the workers of the united states. "the lifeless objects they want you to be" this line tells how the government wants its citizens to be cooperative with everything and not question authority, Which is exactly what this song is telling people to do.

Equal Rights?

In 2010 it is fair to say that men and women have equal rights according to the government. But in society men and women do not have the same playing field. The biggest example i can think of is sports. Golf for instance, woman have their own tees that are moved up closer because according to society women are not strong enough to hit from the mens tee. All sports are separated into men and women divisions because apparently women do not have the necessary skills to compete with the men. True women have come a long way from where they used to be, but they are still not completely even with the men.

JFK trip

1. There was more than 2 shots fired at JFK's motorcade. JFK was not concerned with civil rights at the start of his presidency. The Cuban Missile crisis was during his presidency.

2. I thought the beginning movies were very interesting because they gave more insight to what we were about to see in the exhibits. The recreations of the campaign od the 1960's made the museum enjoyable too.

3. The only suggestion i have is to make the classroom time shorter. It dragged on for too long and set the visit off on the wrong foot.

4. I believe that JFK was truly one of the nations greatest presidents of all time. He passed so many important bills. He took the U.S. through the Cuban Missile Crisis which could have ended in nuclear war. So it could be said that JFK saved the planet from destruction.

butter battle ending

The two sides meet up at the top of the wall. They exchange insults at one another for a few lines. VanItch threatens to drop hi bomb first. But the Grandfather warns VanItch that if he drops the bomb on the Yook side, in return he will drop his on Zook town. The two sides continuously threat each other with their bombs, but nothing happens to either side. the empty threats by the two sides end up with them both admitting defeat and returning home. There was no victory by either side.

Speech

Ever since World War I, the treaty of Versailles has been keeping the peace in the world. Punishing Germany for their atrocities committed during the first World War. We took away all of their military essentials such as size, ammunition and artillery. We demoralized them with hefty fines that caused a recession to take place in the country of Germany. With all this we were sure that Germany would pose no further problems. We were wrong.

A few years after the treaty was signed, the country of Germany began to stir once more. With the rise of Adolf Hitler, Germany began to violate the treaty of Versailles by taking over the rhineland. They also increased their military forces and invaded France. Another trouble leading to the war is the Rise of Stalin and Mussolini. These two dictators look to control as much of the continent as they can, and they will stop at nothing to get it.

As the War stands now, we have yet to be involved. No we have not been harmed by any other country so far, and we will try our best to keep this country safe. Almost the entire continent of Europe is engaged in World War II. Japan has started growing restless by taking over manchuria and parts of China in order to expand their borders. Germany has invaded Poland and they have taken over France.

These events should prove that the United States of America should enter into World War II. Being one of the superpowers of the World, it is our duty to try to keep the peace in a world of violence. It will not be long before an attack is brought to our door step, we must prevent this from happening at all costs. Act upon others before they act upon us. We must go on the offensive in order for us to succeed in this war. If we do act upon our first instincts, it could mean the death of our nation.

Depression

Here in the 21st century, it is hard to believe that we could ever go through another economic depression as terrible as the Great Depression. It is somewhat possible for the stocks to crash in the manner they did back in the 1930's. However; there would be a few differences in society in the 21st century if a depression were to ever hit. We now have homeless shelters so there would be no "hoovervilles" going up. Also, the government gives out welfare checks to those who qualify, so it would be difficult for a family to starve. If my father were to lose his jobs we would have to make a few cut backs but not too many. Since both my sister and myself have jobs, so we would have to pay for our own food and clothes. My family would have to sell our cars and cut back on electricity in order to save money.
