SHOOT FIRST?!

Western democracies were supposed to defend the individual against the power of the state. Demo. governments place strict limits on the use of force by agents. The investigations these people must be put through after harming a citizen is OUTRAGEOUS. IT SHOULD BE!! I think if ONE man is running from the cops, 2-3 cops should stop him. If the man is bigger than maybe more force will be needed, but punching and kicking is ridiculous, especially if the culprit is NOT resisting anymore. 

MEAN PIGS. 
but at the same time, cops aren't out to get us all. They mess up too and probably do the same shit we do. It's just their job to protect and serve. plllssssb.

MONUMENTS ARE AWESOME!

I love the way monuments are both patriotic, frightening, and heartwarming. 

Unknown Soldier: I've seen this and it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I'm not a fan of war but that doesnt mean that i dont respect the men that risked or lost their lives in any of the wars. 

AL GORE? PUHHH

Al Gore believes that global warming is a moral issue. Al Gore seems to be a very passionate person. I'm not sure whether he is just whacked or if he is really nice? He seems to not care whether you like him or not, he just wants you to be kind to the planet. I bet Al Gore LOVES The Grateful Dead. :-D He makes a nice connection to the Chinese word for Crisis. Explaining that it means danger as well as opportunity really pulled at my heart strings a bit. More and more species are becoming endangered, or will shortly if no one steps up to help fight global warming. He makes great points that procrastination will always be the thief of time. I think that was an awesome point.
