U.S. Invasion

There are three major points within Michael Walzer's poignantly written article in the March 20th issue of the New Republic. Walzer wrote concerning the U.S lead roll in establishing a no fly zone in Libya. Walzer states in his First point, "it is radically unclear what the purpose of the intervention…" He goes on to state "the attacks don't have what we should have insisted on from the very beginning…"He finally suggests, "The U.S. should have never invaded Libya." The U.S had no ligament reason to interfere with the Libyan rebellion. If the U.S decides to over throw Qaddafi we would need ground soldiers. Of course they do not have them because they are fighting in Iraq. One may infer from the article that neither France, Britain, nor the United States really wants soldiers there.

The rest of the Arab nation is staying out of this intervention. There is no help coming from Tunisia or Egypt. Even though the U.S has invested so much in to Egypt's army they have no help from them. Like Michael Walzer stated "That is a very bad sign, for the attacks will undoubtedly kill civilians, and these will be innocent men, women, and children, Arab and Muslim, killed (again) by the French, the British, and the Americans."

And the oscar goes to....

Did anyone see the academy awards? It was probably exciting waiting for a favorite nominated actor or actress to receive an award. Now one more question; of the many people nominated, how many were minorities? People may say that is because minorities have not made any movies worthy of winning an academy awards. Why is that? It is not the Academy Awards’ decision to make movies. Is it that Hollywood just does not like telling the stories of minorities? Anyone who is reading this is thinking about all the minority films they have seen.

Look at a so call back film pick up on this. At the end or throughout the movie is there some white person is saving the lower class poor minorities. Like in the movie dangerous minds. A white teach from the suburb saves the day.It is like a bad cliche that people keep saying. Like a superhero the white hope saves the day. For example  in the movie  avatar  Jake Sully a white male that works as an inside man for the army to destroy the natives land changes his ways and ends up saving the natives. African Americans are almost always depicted either poor, poorly educated, in drone need of help, or doing something illegal.

"Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke"

Every day thousands of teens wake up afraid to go to school. Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students, and it has everyone worried, not just the kids on its receiving end. Yet because parents, teachers, and other adults don't always see it, they may not understand how extreme bullying can get. What do you think of bullying in schools?

Two of the main reasons people are bullied are because of appearance and social status. Bullies pick on the people they think don't fit in, maybe because of how they look, how they act (for example, kids who are shy and withdrawn), their race or religion, or because the bullies think their target may be gay or lesbian. One of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is relentless. Most people can take one episode of teasing or name calling or being shunned at the mall. However, when it goes on and on, bullying can put a person in a state of constant fear.

Guys and girls who are bullied may find their schoolwork and health suffering. Amber began having stomach pains and diarrhea and was diagnosed with a digestive condition called irritable bowel syndrome as a result of the stress that came from being bullied throughout ninth grade. I sometimes spent my afternoons hungry and unable to concentrate in class because he was too afraid to go to the school cafeteria at lunchtime.

Bulling is terrible and needs to be stopped, more needs to be done about it. It shouldn't be tolerated. It has led to children bringing guns and other weapons into schools. It has also led children to suicide.

Take Them or Leave Them

The dream act would open so many doors for illegal immigrants and, change the United States for good. No doubt this would make the U.S. more diverse but is this good. Should we let immigrants get a proper education? What are the pros and cons. The big question is do they stay or do they go.
Personally I support the act. Immigrants are going to come to United States if we want them to or not. So why not give them a good education and a job. If you think about it we can really benefit from them. I don’t feel as though it is fair if a person is born elsewhere and then right after comes to the United States. Raised here but can’t get a fair education here. What since does that make. To make life a lot easier for all of us just let the people go to school.


So let’s analyze the situation. The pros are act would give immigrants access to a greater educational opportunities and better jobs which means you can tax them. A 2010 study by the UCLA North American Integration and Development Center estimates that the total earnings of the Act immigrants over the course of their working lives would be between $1.4 trillion and $3.6 trillion. Also the dream act would save tax payers money. How you may ask a study shows that raising the college graduation rate of Hispanics to that of non-Hispanic whites would increase spending on public education by 10 percent nationwide resulting in incomes. The act would benefit the universities for the better. Lastly it would encourage them to contribute to the economy.
In contrast the cons are it was politically motivated by Senator Reid in order to gain Latin American votes in Nevada. Reid is currently tied with Republican challenger Sharron Angle. A second reason was insufficient debate on the bill before the vote. Some members of the GOP are concerned that passage would insight more illegal immigration. Others feel it is a step toward granting amnesty to all illegal immigrants.
So to summarizes you can infer that i think illeale immigrants should be entitled to a fair education. Like everything the act has its pros and cons but in the end I think that it is worth it.they are not hurting anybody and it would be a benefit for us if we passed the act.and because they didn’t more people will be denied a education and deported.so I will leave you this one question .Was it worth it?

All tea Over Borad

The name "Tea Party" is a indication to the Boston Tea Party, a protest that objected to a British tax on tea in 1773. The tea party does not have a leader or a plan it endorses reduced government spending lower taxes. The group is made of local groups that make their own platform and plans. People say bush and Obama is the reason for the party. Because the Tea Party's national figures Dick Armey and Sarah Palin, nearly all Tea Party candidates have run as Republicans, and almost 80% of Tea Partiers consider themselves to be Republican. Yet the "movement" is not a new political group, but simply a marketing tool for traditional Republican candidates and policies.

The tea party has a big influence on our government and how it works. They can’t elect people per say but they have pretty good pull in that area. Sara Palin’s one of the main supports. It launched its tour, as it has in the past, with her appearance. Why is this problem? She helps put who they want in office so they can keep control, they care about the rich whites rather that making the world a better place.

Take a close look at whose taxes they want to lower. If you fall under the category of rich love them. They could care less about the lower class. Along as they make their money they will fight to keep it. Even at the expense In just the last year, the Tea Party movement has become a driving force in American politics. From debates over healthcare and federal stimulus spending to voter mobilization for the midterm elections, Tea Party groups have not been shy about showing their anger at the state of government. Still, as a movement with a growing number of community organizers speaking with many voices, much of the country is left wondering: What is the Tea Party movement really all about?

Student Strike.....Not Such a Peaceful Protest

Police held off angry student protesters marching to London's Parliament Square on Thursday as lawmakers debated a controversial plan to triple university tuition fees in England. Thousands of students held demonstrations and sit-ins throughout the country, heaping pressure on the government to stop. Students marched through central London, banging drums, waving placards and chanting "education is not for sale," as weeks of nationwide protests reached a buildup. Small groups of protesters tore down barricades and threw paint bombs as police with batons fended off others in attempts to reinforce a security cordon near Parliament. Despite minor scuffles, the massive march remained largely peaceful. The vote put Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and other Liberal Democrat leaders in an awkward spot. Liberal Democrats signed a pre-election pledge to oppose any such tuition hike, and have reserved the right to abstain in the vote even though they are part of the governing coalition proposing the change.I'm on the side of the students. Education is not for sale. If the parliament raises the prices more students will not be able to get the education that they need.

hello 911......help...hello???......im sorry we are backed up today please try your call agin later

Camden City Council, as expected, voted Thursday to lay off almost 400 workers, half of them police officers and firefighters, to bridge a $26.5 million deficit. That’s about a quarter of the city’s entire work force. Five members of City Council voted unanimously to approve the layoff plan — two other members were absent. The cuts take effect in mid-January exactly how many city workers will be affected is still an open question, although nearly half the city’s police and a third of the firefighters are slated to go. Karl Walco is with the union that represents non-uniformed Camden city workers. “If we agreed to everything that the city proposed in concessions, it would only have a minor impact on the number of layoffs,” Walco told the council members. No argument from Council. They sat impassively as workers and residents alike voiced their frustration. When it was over, Council president Frank Moran suggested they’re not to blame. “We didn’t put a price tag on public safety. Unfortunately, the governor of the State of New Jersey put that price tag on it,” he said at the packed Council meeting. That price tag is $69 million, in transitional aid. Moran suggested that Camden residents should vent to Governor Chris Christie. After the vote, council members and Camden Mayor Dana Redd avoided reporters by going into their offices.
