More Middle East Trouble

The Middle East is once again going through problems. The Israeli government still backs its bombing campaign of presumed nuclear program in Syria. Now the United States has said that they have pictures of the Nuclear site and Israeli government has claimed they have a picture of the a North Korean and a Syrian who is head of the Atomic commission. The United State also has picture of Syria and the supposed nuclear plant and said that it has striking resemblances to the one in North Korea. In my opinion I think the United States should stay out any Middle East affairs like this since their last affair with the war in the Iraq.

Zinn Readings

My two Zinn questions are as follows:

1. What negative effects does making a corporation a person have?

2.What would Zinn think about the United States supporting kosovo independence?

Tipping Point

The chapter was very interesting and I learned a lot about tipping points. It was cool to learn about what worked with children and what didn't work with children. It was neat to heat about the different experiments that they tried on children to get them to respond to their show. It was interesting to see how blue clues is the ultimate show. After reading I learned about tipping points and found what makes a tipping point a tipping point a tipping point.

San Diego Puddle

A local San Diego politician had a run with a local police in a scandal that might cost him this election. He was caught taking a pee in his truck outside a voters house. John Hartley was deeply embarrassed by this act and sent out a letter with his formal apologize. John Hartley is running for City Council. The act was performed when he was going door to door to campaigning for himself when the urge to pee took over and he was forced to pee in his truck.

Slaughter House Five (Book Report)

The book that I read this week was Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I really enjoyed the book and could find no problems with the book. I really Liked his message on war and the different ways he used to describe characters in his book. The part that I really liked the best was when Billy was about the be the killed and the speech he gave before he was shot by the killer that he had fought in war with. Another interesting part of the book were the aliens and how they could time travel.

A Failed War

The Iraq war will soon be moved over to the next president to take over the United States of America. During his time as president Bush has made no effort to try and clean up the mess that is Iraq. Iraq has become increasingly unstable and are soldiers are becoming restless. Bush has made proposals for reducing the tours of duty that soldiers have to stay in Iraq but he has not given us any real solutions.

Bio-Fuel Solution or problem

My current event is about the talk over corn being the key to being oil independent. The article was about how much of a sham the talk about corn is. The article talked about how many countries that have switched over to using Bio-fuel have increased emissions. For example in the Brazil over the fact that its country can run over 45 percent of its country on Bio-fuel. The article talked about the cons of people switching to Bio-fuels. One example is the fact that countries that are switching to Bio-fuel are cutting down more of the rain forest to meet the demand of the fuel and the food supply. Besides the problem of running the rain forest into the ground using your food supply as gas isn't always a good idea. People needed to hop off the band wagon for Bio-fuels and realize that their is a better alternative that we can not exploit. The sun is a much easier place to fuel our cars and make a profit. What politicians need to do is stop looking at the quick fix which is Bio-fuel and look for the long turn solutions like solar energy.

Child Hood Dreams

When I was a kid a had dreamed of becoming a comedian(See also Scientist,Musician,Karate Kid,and football star). When I was growing up my parents has allowed me to stay up and watch Seinfeld and I had always enjoyed the part with Jerry doing stand up. As I grew up I carried out that dream of becoming a stand up comedian. In middle school was the first time that acted on my dream I performed a stand-up bit in front of the whole school. Come High School I decided to drop that dream I don't know why but I did. After watching listening to the speech form the professor it didn't make want to go back to my childhood dreams if any thing the speech didnt even show me how to complete my goals. I found the speech just to be about him and how he did but not about how we can do it.
