It honestly wouldnt be any different from what the government and legal system is doing right now. When the police decides to pull over an individual and randomly search their vehicles its because of probable cause which is just another way of saying resonable suspicion. If the government feels there is something an individual is doing that is a threat or can impact our community in a negative way they have probable cause to spy, monitor, or do what ever to set the issue straight. They don't just randomly pick a person and montior them, they do have reasons or causes to do so. Just like in banks any time a specific amount of money is added to an account, it is reported to the authorities, that is how most people whom steal money or randomly come across a large amount are caught if the money really isn't theirs. I mean if you have nothing to hide, then why would you have a problem with them monitoring you?

As much as it hurts now to have one, I would have to say that I would rather have a lousy dad, instead of no dad at all, but some dads are so lousy that it is just the same as not having a father. Growing up for twelve years barely seeing my dad, having my father break promises consecutively, telling me he loves me, but then turns around and does almost any and everything to make me feel as if he could care less, and above all putting other children before his own. I know my dad cares for me and loves me, but the way he shows it is so hurtful. Some dads use the excuse that they don’t know what to do or they are doing the best they can. Well I say, IF LETTING OR SHOWING YOUR CHILD THAT YOU LOVE THEM EVERY DAY IS HARD, THEN WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU HELP CONCIEVE ME? If a dad doesn’t have a job, does nothing throughout the day, then why is it so hard for him to pick up a phone call and just say hey I was thinking about you, wanted to check on you, or just wanted to let you know to have a good day? Why can’t he attend one school function or performance you have? Using the excuse, “Oh I don’t have any money, or a ride”, oh it is so unacceptable. If it’s free what’s stopping you? I’m pretty sure someone else is going to see the child perform even the mother. How hard is it to make an attempt to ask for a ride, at least then the child will know you tried. The thing that gets me though, is lousy dads seem think they do nothing wrong, but when another man, or step dad comes into the scene they get upset, because it seems like the child is loving that man even more. Think about it, if this new man is coming, showing love to the child, being there for the child, showing the up most support and respect to the child, then what would you expect? The bible says to love thy enemies, and one of the commandments is to honor thy mother and thy father, but there is also a saying that goes, “It is best to forgive, but that doesn’t me to forget”.

As bad as it may sound or seem I would want so bad to turn my spouse in, but because of where I grew up and my past, I couldn’t. Like the old gang quote, “Snitches get stitches”, for me that quote is true, but to a certain degree. Where I’m from, turning in anyone from your hood, block, city, crew, etc. would be just the same as trying to kill one of your own family members. Once you have grown up for your entire life living this way and dealing with things like this, it is so hard to stray away from it and some what scary as well. You never know who is watching, listening, or hear about all you do, so you always have to watch what you say and do. If my spouse were to tell me they have committed a murder, I would keep my mouth close, but I’m not stupid. If the police, FBI, or any other authority as such came to me, called me in or questioned me, I would sing like a Canary. Everything I was told I would tell them, yes with hesitation because I know I have just crossed my hood, block, city, crew, etc. but honestly I just can’t take the fact of going down over their stupidity.

Personal pursuits are what help us to become who we are, and known for. We set standards for ourselves that only we can and are willing to go after. Yes we will get a sense of fulfillment and feel accomplished, but who’s to say that that fulfillment and accomplishment doesn’t lead to us advancing into the world of common good. Our personal pursuits teaches us valuable lessons, it is always said that you can only learn from your mistakes, and that is true, so within our personal pursuits if there is ever a mistake or a moment when things go wrong, all we can do is learn to keep it from happening again, and deal with the consequences of what happened. Learning from this, can help us learn and advance higher in the common good, because now we then know not only how any typical person that has been living life by common goods would handle a situation, take care of a dilemma, or deal with anything, but we know an alternative to that or those ways simply from our own personal experiences and lessons from our pursuits.

Shakespeare’s work should still be studied in high school. Not only is he as a person a part of our history, but his works is as well. Many theatrical play writes, directors, and even theatrical teachers use his works as reference and inspiration. Learning it in high school helps to expand our horizons and think deeper about little things. Seeing how Shakespeare used everyday life, and emotions to create stories and plays that are significantly similar to what others go through each day can help us to better express ourselves. It shows us that there are other ways to view the world, and there are more creative ways to show how we view our thoughts and emotions. Just like History, Math, and Science, are taught to enhance our intelligence, studying Shakespeare’s work can do the same as well.

Let's be honest with ourselves and each other for a minute. Does it really matter who we all think should be president, or whom we vote into office? Personally I don't think so. Both candidates have strong and weak view points on different issues we have, and both have answers that seem to work. NEWSFLASH!!! So did every other president we have had for the past whenever years.

I hate to say this or to be the one to say it, but honestly I can't wait for this election to be over with. Constantly it is said we have a voice, unless you're eighteen sorry, but you don't. What I really want to know, is what are these two men saying that I haven't heard before? Are they or are they not giving me answer to my "problems" just like the early presidents?

Truthfully I don't know who should be president, but if I was force to choose I would choose Obama, and on a honest note, the only reason would be because he is a democrat and I consider myself one as well so his view points are somewhat similar to mine.

I feel it would be better to be well respected than to be wealthy. There are so many great things that come along with respect that you won't have when you're wealthy. With wealth you have do deal with all the people who are out there to get theirs. Relatives you've never known before start calling or showing up at your home, companies you were once involved with start calling trying to collect money, and creditors as well. Being well respected on the other hand has so many more pluses to it than negatives. Yes there are going to be people that don't respect you, and you aren't going to respect back, but for the most part those who do respect you, offer you things like friendship, they can help you get a job, which can lead to you being wealthy, or even make you wealthy themselves because they respect you so much to do that for you. Part of growing up is to be respectful, and most times the outcome will be you will recieve respect. Well, with wealth most of the time if you give money how many people do you really expect to give it back or more?

Saying schools kill students creativity seems a little shallow. If anything, I would say schools do tend to limit students creativity in different areas, as well as enhancing their creativity. Students creativity isn't dead, it is very much alive. Many of us make a big deal out of the little rules that are placed upon us, which makes it seem as if our creativity is revoked, thus we try our best to find little ways to work around them. I agree some of the rules that we have to follow do seem a little out of the box, but one thing we need to remember is they are made for a reason. If a student is really as creative as they say they are, then why can't they just find another creative way to express themselfs as and artistic individual they are?

Personally my overall feelings on the subject are that schools don't exactally kill creativity. We are the ones that kill it! It's not hard to step out and be an individual within specific guidelines. Showing who you are and what you are about doesn't just depend on what you dress like, or look like, it's more about how you present yourself, how you react in a situation like this, and how we handle it.
