Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Journal Article 1


I was reading the New york times and I caught this article about some of the poorest people in coutries trying to find work in some of the ric hest places. A man who is trying to help this effort is Lant Pritchett. Pritchett has alot of ideas for these poor country workers but his main idea is "Let my people come". Now that is not wrong at all he just wants poor people to have jobs and be able to provide for their families and have money for a home, food, and clothing. But the only problem is trying to bring poor people into a rich people envirnoment. The poor people have families and this is not like a a free easy pass for these families to come to America. I think that Pritchett has good intentions but he must really think about what he wants to do more because this not only like degrades the rich people or at least some but it might even degrade some of the poor people trying to fit a stereotype.

TV 2 (DEF READ)

The State of Union speech was really really inspiring and uplifting i believe. I really liked the immigration plans he has for America he really uplifted many opportunities for people around the world. I also liked the education policy he was brought with the deduction and help he hopes to give Barrack Obama really has made in very clear that he is not trying to avoid the health care issue as a matter of fact he almost faced it head on. I can not really say anything bad about this speech he is also trying to help the women. He tries to help so many people and he wants everyone to have equal rights. He also talked about deduction from the government like you do not do that but he did he said that they will cut what is not needed and keep what is needed. Barrack Obama has seriously motivated many people to and given me as a person almost like a new light of hope for America to be at its best once again.

Class Discussion 1

Today we were discussing about how today the voting rating has gone up in the past 3 elections. The only ting is, they have gone up in the presidential election which yes is important but the elections that matter is the state senator's or state representative. I believe that people have the privilage to vote and they should really take advantage of it because people that do not vote come into discussion where maybe they could have made the change and they try to put in their two sense. I honestly hope that the voting in America will increase not only in the presidential elections but like the elections in states for a mayor or state senator.

TV 1



I watched some of the Colbert Report but what really interested me was the section on Andre Bauer. Honestly he really did get blasted on they pulled in a whole new wave on embarassing him. Bauer was trying to say some things on the umemployment problem and his reaction to this is pretty clear he almost compares the poor and umemployed to pesky animals. I personally do not know what Bauer is talking about I also believe that he should stop talking because the unemployment problem is pretty harsh yes, but if he was the duche without a job he would be one of the people trying to get a job like the people he likes to call "vermin" so much. Colbert also brings in how a conversation was brougt up about Bauer and his religion. Andre Bauer is a Christian and thats fine. But comparing people to animals and making yourself seem better then another hman being, I may be a bit to young to perhaps understand the government and politics but that does not seem like a christian man at all.
