Carter's Conserve Energy Plans

I disagree with Carter's conserve energy plans because i fell they are not realistic. One thing he wanted to do was convince people to stop driving so much. This would never work. As long as there are people living in America the will be many cars on the road. Also, many large companies ship many of their supplies by road. Decreasing their driving would decrease their income. Telling people to stop driving would dramatically hurt the US. Taxing gas would also hurt the US. Carter's plan to conserve energy is not a plan that could help Americans' problems.

Protest Song

BRIGHT EYES

"When The President Talks To God"


"When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it"

This song protests against president George Bush. The wirter disagrees with many things that the president did at the time and asks way is does it. The writer talks about how we are sending young people away for no reason to fight a war over oil. Also, he discusses how the president does not fix problems in the United States.

Womens Rights

I feel that today in our country that women are still not seen equal to men. women still get treated different in the work place. stats show that women clearly get paid less than men. Also, we still not have had a women president. this clearly show that women are not equal to men still after all these years.

JFK Field Trip

1)One thing I learned about JFK on this trip was that he recived many gift from rulers outside of the country.
2)My favorite element about the trip was all the exhibits that were presented around the museum that we could look at and read about JFK's life
3) I feel that we did not have enough time to look at all the exhibits
4)I feel that JFK was one of the best presidents of all time. He tried to get many different thing passed while he was in office, but this thing weren't passed until after his death. the acts eventually helped the USA in a positive way.

The Butter battle book

At the end of The Butter Battle Book, i think that the battle between the Zooks and Yooks will end. I think that the Zooks and Yooks will finally that they are equally as strong. No matter what kind of war weapon the one builds, the other will build the same thing. The Zooks and Yooks will never become friends but they will not bother each other any more even though they are very different and they disagree the way the other lives their life.
