"Books"

"What is the most TRANSFORMATIONAL book you have ever read and why?"

 I don't read if I do not have to, so this question is particularly hard. If I can cheat and use a movie based on a book, I would have to say, Forrest Gump. Between Buba and Jenny, Forrest Gump showed to me that not everything is permanent. It also showed to me that life could throw basically anything at you, from weird love complex to being drafted. Forrest, in his own somewhat childish view of the world, I found related to me the first time seeing the movie as a seven-year-old, as I too, didn't really understand what death or love was. It really is a great tale and I would recommend it to anyone of all ages.

Museum of Tolerance

Last Friday, we went to the museum of tolerance. Yes, it was moving. Yes, it was hard. Yes, we became waterfalls of tears. My great-grandparents having been in the Holocaust, it profoundly affected me to have seen all the atrocities that happened and how they did. Entering the museum, the first thing that caught our attention was a large spiral in the middle of the building. Later as we went down the spiral, we saw pictures of people along the sides. Our tour guide, Walter (who's daughter owns the Hawks), was an old, crippled man from Chicago. He had traveled to Europe to study the Nazi history, visiting sites such as Auschwitz. In his words, "All these pictures you have seen. All these pictures of men, women, and children. All these people were survivors of the Holocaust. All of these humans were a side-effect of what men can do to their fellow men."  The last sentence hit me like a brick. History has a tendency to repeat itself. Take the world wars as an example. Or th...

Bill Of Rights on Mars

Hi Kylizzle, As we get closer to the inevitability of humans on Mars, we have to think about how they behave themselves. Of course we currently are under the bill of rights so we do not need to worry about how our problems, but who knows what issues they will face? As such here is my solution to this issue. The Bill of Martian Rights. 1. Freedom of speech, religion, press, pettition, and assembly. No one wants to be oppressed. 2. No one will be denied of vital resources. It's not earth, they need H2O 3. All must have the right to communicate with earth. Imagine you have family on earth, wouldn't you want to see them? 4. All must have the right to a space suit. You need on to live. 5. Due process. Law must apply 6. Prohibition of excessive bail. If people are poor on a new planet, we can't tax them for stealing a loaf of bread. 7. Civil Jury If someone does murder another, they have the right to a jury. 8. Search Warrants must be granted. If one h...

Independence

Waz goodie Kylizzle, When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for me to dissolve the bands which have connected me with stereotypes, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I should declare the causes which impel me to the separation. Regardless of where you're from people will have stereotypes for you. Myself being french, I have been called "The flirt monster" which as flattering as it sounds, it isnt great. I right now can think of 10 sterotypes regardless of the the country you give me which might be hilarious depends on how you look at it or might also be offensive. Myself being half german I have been called a nazi before which as one could expect isn't a great feeling. Anyway I've decided to "declare indepence" from these stereotypes.  Bye kylizzle.
