Was this war evitable? Was Bush supposed to declare war? Is our government running the way it should? Well in my opinion we are falling down an abyss and not coming up much. Have any of you notice the price of gas at least in Miami, FL 6 months ago was 2.56 to 2.70 at most, but now it’s $4.20 and up what is this. And milk is also around there.
The title says it all; and I want you to know that most of the stats that they keep putting out are not true. Most of the African Americans I know are NOT voting for Obama because he looks like them. Then again most of the African Americans that I know are not college educated and automatically fall into the I'm-voting-for-Hillary-cuz-she's-a-Clinton category. Is that sad?
We Americans tend to be proud of ourselves thinking we have the best government in the World, and then we start a war in Iraq with the excuse that "we have to save the people from Sadam and give them a democracy" when in reality, we don't have a democracy ourselves.
You may have heard about the recent violence in Kenya, including a church burning in Eldoret, and 350,000 people displaced (according to Newsweek). Here are five ways you can help the Kenyan people during this time of crisis.
1. World Vision: Donate to emergency aid disaster response. World Vision is an excellent humanitarian and child sponsorship organization.
2. Kenya Children’s Fund: Donate or sponsor a child. Kenya Children’s Fund is an excellent child sponsorship organization located in Kinyago-Dandora in Nairobi, Kenya--one of the regions affected by the recent violence.
I sponsor 18-year-old Faizo through this organization. I’d like to share some quotes from his letters with you. He wants to be a doctor, which he considers "a marvelous career." His role models are his teachers, who "are sharpening my mind to be full of knowledge, so that one day I could help my society in rebuilding it." He also writes, "I don’t know how I can express my gratitude to you but I’m really happy and glad."
When my violin teacher went to Kenya with Kenya Children’s Fund, she introduced music to their schools and ran a photojournal project.
Calling all Democrats! Calling all Republicans! Calling all of you conservatives and undecided who reside somewhere in the middle! Take a seat. It’s powwow time! Come election day, whose name will you find on the ballot?
I would hate to be president; to be under so much scrutiny. One minute, the public loves you, and the next they hate you. Everyone blames you for the problems with the beaurocracy/democracy and all the other "-ocracies". You make one choice that can't be undone, and at first the public backs you on it and supports it.
I voted in Arizona in the 2004 elections. Never one for large crowds, I opted to use the early, mail-in ballot. I did miss out on getting an “I voted” sticker of my very own, though.
After coloring in little circles next to the names of potential judges, senators, sheriffs, presidents, et cetera, the only thing that remained were survey questions.
(Paraphrased)
Hillary supporters argue that if she’s too lenient, she’s seen as a typical push-over woman, and if she’s too tough, she’s a witch. “It’s hard to be a woman in politics,” they argue. “No one will take you seriously.” Women such as Margaret Thatcher and Indira Ghandi seem to have accomplished being major heads of states despite being a female.
