Common Sense

There are two paths teenagers are expected to take. Number one leads nowhere. Teenagers are expected to wander around with their "friends" causing trouble and destroying things. They are suspected to smoke crack and take other illegal drugs. There are also two types of adults. One type tries to get them in trouble by catching them red-handed. They put it in peoples heads that all teens are evil-minded and do things behind their parents back. The other type simply doesn't care. The other path goes like this:

Today the primaries take place. Jake Towne is one of the underdogs in the elections, but he won't give up in his fight to help PA. He is more popular than anyone expected. One of the big races in PA is Specter vs. Sestak. It's going to be a tight race. Many people favor Sestak because Specter changed parties in order to be re-elected. Another race is Onorato vs. Williams. The winner of this race will face the winner of Rohrer vs. Corbett, my personell favorite being Rohrer. Go Sam Rohrer!

I hope the pheasants that roam around here stay. We have a great time spotting them.

On May 5th, Cinco de Mayo day, 4 students at Live Oak High in Morgan Hill, California were sent home for wearing American flag t-shirts. A school administrator approached them and ordered them to turn their shirts inside-out because they might offend Mexican-American students. When they refused, they were sent to the Principal's office. When he told them to take the shirts off, they didn't wait around any longer-they went home. Obviously word got around, and the next day Mexican students exited the school, found some Mexican flags, and got police to escort as they marched around the school chanting "Si se puede"-We want respect. Apparently, we need to hide our patriotism. Do most people even know when Cinco de Mayo day is? And now we can't even wear our country's colors because we might start a "racial war".

The writers of the Declaration

America was founded on a basic Biblical principal that the Americans of today have strayed from. The Founding Fathers incorporated the Bible into the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Almost everyone in those days believed there was a God, even though some chose not to submit themselves to him. Up until the Civil War it remained that way. Then people started going downhill. After 1900 the Bible was not quite a foreign language, but close to it. Now, everyone thinks of the Bible as the "geek's"book. Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists get more respect then us. Why? It's not like Islam is peace loving (ha ha). Everyone is afraid of them, therefore they get respect.

Just to let everyone know, I by no means support Al Gore or global warming. That ad just won't go away. I recently did a post on warming. Google must be big global warming supporters. Please take the ad away.

Huh. Global warming is one of the most far out, stupid, and anti-christian subjects discussed today. We had one of the coldest winters and the heaviest snowfall ever in eastern PA. I don't see how that be global warming! God has proven it false many a time. Why, just a while ago, someone went to Antarctica to observe the glaciers melt. He froze to death. Ironic, huh?

American youths are becoming more and more dependent on their parents for everything in their daily lives. There was a time when a boy could survive with his knife and fishing pole for the whole summer.Adults didn't worry about the child's safety unless he wasn't seen all day. An example is Tom Sawyer. Though fiction, Samuel Clemens must have gotten the idea somewhere. Nowadays most boys (and men) can't even catch a fish (I'm happy to say I'm not one of them!).
