unit 5 #1 "the richest people in our country"

The richest man in our country is by no competition, Bill Gates. Bill Gates earned his money fair and square, he is a computer genius. I totally envy him, he was a Harvard dropout and still is worth about $93.1 Billion dollars. Bill Gates is the father of Microsoft, the man practically created computers. He totally work for all the money that he has acquired. Him and Paul Allen can sit there and build a computer from complete scratch. Bill Gates has enough money to where he can totally enjoy it, but he does a lot of charity work as well, actually this school is funded by bill gates, the computer that I am typing on was given to me by Bill Gates. That man is the Jam-splatsta as far as I'm concerned.

Unit 2 #7 When is breaking the law justified?

Through out history, there are many governments and rulers that have done their people wrong. Most of the time the citizens of the corrupt countries could not to anything about it, That's what makes the American revolution so special. The colonists told Britain that they were not going to take it anymore. When is breaking the law justified? When the government is not up holding its citizens natural rights.

John Locks ideas on liberalism greatly influenced the political minds behind the revolution. His theory of the "social contract" implied the natural right of people to overthrow their government, should those leaders betray the historic rights of Englishmen. The colonists were getting tired of the empire and its rules and regulations, The Navigation Acts and The Stamp Acts and The Townshed acts were not fair at all. There was no way we were going to be a British cash crop forever. The colonies formed the Continental Congress as a provisional national government. We fought back at lexington and we declared our Independence. The British were not going to give up with out a fight, so war was declared. We fought really hard and with the help of the french, We WON. with the signing of the Treaty of Paris the British gave us all land west of the Mississippi.

The U.S. government has come along way since the American revolution, but the ideas of the revolution have greatly influenced our government. Now government wrongdoings are known as scandals. Just recently the government operated Police force has been accused of using unneeded violent force even if the suspect is not violent or resistant towards the officer. One officer broke a woman's cheekbone while hitting the suspect, he did not face any discipline for his crime. six months after the woman was hurt, witnesses said the same cop kicked a man in the face as he was trying to surrender. Once again the officer was not disciplined.

After a P-I Investigation was conducted they found out that the Seattle police force had not disciplined any officers for unnecessary force in over 18 months. During this time there was over 161 complaints of force. This raises the question of "Is the department more interested in protecting officers from being held accountable for their actions, or protect their citizens from harm?" Well legally, It is not the officers job to protect you. Their job is to uphold the law. There was a federal Law suit. The girl that had broken her cheekbone got her money, but there was still no discipline of the officer. The chief never issued a final disciplinary act.

So when is breaking the law justified? When the government does not uphold its citizens natural rights. weather its because of taxation with out representation or unnecessary force, when your governments is mistreating you, you have the right to stand up and say "We are not going to take this."

Unit 4 As. # 1 "Fights"

Um, One time my so called friend named Kelly. She was trying to date one of my ex's, He was my first real boyfriend so naturally I was pissed. I asked her not to date him and she still did, so I stopped talking to her, I didnt want to fight. Kevin (my ex) pretty much made kelly hate me, she thought that she would never compare to me. Kelly even had the nerve to break in my myspace and wrote on my page that i was a whore and just alot of immature stuff. I continued to not speak to her, she was acting like a child. eventually her and kevin broke up and kelly apoligized. I never really forgave her

Unit3 As#1 "Growing up"

unit 2 As# 6 Boston tea party reflection post

http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/teaparty.htm

The Boston Tea Party, although an act of agression was carried out quite peacefully. Everyting was planned and carried out with army like precision. No one was hurt in this process and only a single lock was broken. The only thing damaged was the tea throwing over 300 boxes from 3 diffrent ships. the colonists dressed up as indians, (which i presonally find funny).

The colonists were just simply tired of england using them for its profit. and something need to change.
