True
Be true to yourself
-not sure.... =(
This year's political race is... interesting to say the least. Each of the presidential hopefuls keep thinking that people will vote for them because they are someone else. In the democratic side, the two front-runners are trying to portray themselves as Bill Clinton. Hillary, portraying herself as being with experience and being able to bring back the glory days of the Clinton years. Obama seems to be trying to portray himself as a new Bill Clinton, as the "new person." The republicans are worse, they've basically only come short of calling themselves the re-animated corpse of Ronald Reagan. And I'm not really sure of when they're gonna pass that line. Why don't these candidates campaign as themselves, rather than the re-incarnation of someone else?

Mystique of nature
"Everything changes, just some things faster than others"
When you were like.... 5 and you stared into the starry sky, didn't it hold such.... wonder? A place thought unattainable and then dream about. And then, compare that to now. True, it may still hold a capture over you. But it's not the same is it? You know what is out there. You know how it would look, and in many cases, what it's made of. By this, knowledge is a double-sided blade right? To know something that would make life a little less exciting. "Oh! there are tiny little lights in the sky!" to "Those are made up of hydrogen and helium in a constant..." In this case I guess knowing something makes it more... attainable, but also less amusing. I'm not saying knowledge is bad, but isn't it best to let a child dream about what lies beyond, rather than squashing their dreams before they can come into fruition? I know one thing. When I was young, I had my brother and parents describe what everything was, and although I found it interesting, I have to ask, what would I be like had I actually been able to get to that stage?

Who we become
"...If along the way you act like someone you're not, pretty soon that's who you become"

America is known as the land of the free and the land of the brave. The land where civil liberties abound, but apparently that's not true. When we torture people, what are we doing, we violate civil liberties, the same civil liberties that these terrorists are violating themselves. If we act like them, how long will it be before we truly become them?

Satire of the Week
"What's the point of waking up every morning looking at the sunrise if all you see are clouds?"
Petition against the chemical Dihydrogen Monoxide
Although many people may not know it, a chemical called Dihydrogen Monoxide has wreaked much havoc on the people of Earth. This chemical has been able to spread everywhere, and has a near 100%, if not 100% rate of addiction and later, dependence. This petition is to ban the producing, the selling, and the transportation this chemical by the year 2009.
The following are several reasons why this chemical should be banned
- Over 98% of people die less than a week after consuming this chemical
- The gaseous state of dihydrogen monoxide is one of the largest contributors to global warming, even more than carbon dioxide and methane
- A recent study shows that dihydrogen Monoxide covers almost 70% of the earth, as opposed to Carbon dioxide which only makes up 13% of the atmosphere
- Dihydrogen Monoxide is one of the primary reasons for the occurrence of storms
- Due to solid Dihydrogen monoxide, much of our fresh water is unattainable
- Dihydrogen Monoxide accelerates the spread of malaria, because they create special conditions which are favorable to mosquito reproduction
- The Chemical has been shown to play a major role in some volcanic eruptions, making them more violent than they would have without Dihydrogen Monoxide
- Dihydrogen Monoxide kills more people every year than guns do
- The main chemical in contaminated drinking water is Dihydrogen monoxide
- This chemical is also the most abundant chemical to cause acid-rain
These effects are things that should not be taken lightly, and the government should help enforce new laws against this chemical. We must be kept safe, and therefore we must immediately ban this horrible chemical.
