Weekend post- Poetry
Falling up-Shel SilverStein
I triped on my shoelace
And I fell up-
Up to the roof tops
Up past the tree tops
Up over the mountias
Up where the colors
Blend into the sounds
But it go me so dizzy
When I looked around
I got sick to my stomach
And I threw down

Many peer pressure moments are put on teens. NOt so long ago I was asked to smoke and I was almost put into a situation where I had no choice. But as quickly as I could I left. Things like this shouldn't happen to teens at all. Things need to change. If you're a teen that needs help click here

Weekend Post- Update in Afgan
It seems that today Gen. David H. Petraeus, the head of the U.S. Central Command, said the battle being fought in the Taliban stronghold in Afghanistan could last 12 to 18 months. I feel that this is reasonable. A war this big for us is not supposed to take 1month or so but up to a year and a half.

Weekend Post- Women in the Winter Olympics
Some Women are finding it a problem that there is an event in the Winter Olympics that both genders can participate in and have before. Not much has been done to end this problem and I believe that will continue to be the case. Do I agree? No. BUt that's just how things go.

MLK.
This is part of the famous "I have a dream" speech. This speech has unified many black people across America before I was born during one of the worst possible times it was to be black. This speech helped lead the rest of the way to our rights and I am very thankful that he put his life up to do what he believed was right. In memory of what he has done for all black people I give you this to read.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
