You did say something about posting the paper up here. Is it too long to post here? If so and if you still want to then make a blog page and post the link. I would be interested in seeing a $50,000.00 speech!

However in regards to this post about the speaking competition, i have to thank everybody who replied to the post and helped me because the speech i wrote and performed won me a $50 000 scholarship to university and i could not have done it without all your input. So next year i have a chance to study at a university that was originally out of my budget as it was private but now its all my dreams come true! thanks everybody!!

And unless I missed it, (sorry if someone did) AiDS in many Third World countries, or even those like South Africa which could do a better job of controlling it if they excepted condoms prevented it and Western drugs can help rather than thinking going with a virgin will cure you. Of course then the West should make the drugs cheap and available. There’s the Catholic Churches teaching too but we won’t start on that. : )

It is interesting to read that alot of people have suggested things like everybody get stuck in their own world and thinking that “it wont affect me” because being ignorant to what is happening in the world around is definitely dangerous!.

That is one of the diseases I have that is terminal. CA-MRSA will have out killed AIDS by 2010. The problem with CA-MRSA is no one understands it when poeple come into the hospital ceptic so they die, and there is no cure for it as it is a superbug that devours antibiotics for lunch!

I would say the greatest danger is each individual becoming so sucked up into our own little worlds that we are not willing to stand up for justice, equality and a right to basic living standard. This is what allows governments and businesses to mistreat and overlook those wihout power, because they think no one is willing to risk their comforts for others. (kind of like screamingly wonderful says)

There will always be a class struggle. There will always be corruption in power. There will always be fundamentalism in Religion…. these things will always be, and are a trouble to our world yes.

The bottom line, we were created to be care takers of the earth. When we start believing that…AND acting in that way (EACH ONE OF US), only then will we see improvement… the greatest danger is man’s apathy to his spirit and the neglect of his responsibilities.

In my opinion, the greatest danger to the world is an apathetic attitude towards world problems. The “it does not affect me so, I don’t give a ****” attitude.

Now this is the right attitude!

But, if I can’t blame Bush, the second biggest danger to the world is religion. Religion causes more blood to be spilled on this planet than any other force.

Our civil liberties have been erroding for years prior to Bush even entering the white house. Our government is as corrupt as any other and that is what will happen when you give one person more power than any other, you can’t expect him to have integrity too…. We have lost (and are losing) civil liberties because we allow it to happen. THere are many MORE people who say, ‘I don’t care what the government does as long as I can live my life’, than those who say, ‘I live my life in accordance with what the government does’. There are lots of ways to get involved and how many of us are? How many of us sit on the web and complain about the way it is, but do nothing to change it?

Taylor: maybe you can change it with your paper! Good luck.

The Iraq war is a mess the the USA is in.. IT’S GOING TO HURT US. An Iran war is going to hurt the USA. Our civil liberties are highly eroded under Bush. These are facts I agree with 100%. Plus, Bush let an American city sink Atlantis stile into the gulf of Mexico. He also doesn’t read.. and thinks that we all come from the great blue pumpkin (pray to the pumpkin, my child)…… But all said and done, he is not the end of the world.

But, if I was living in Canada, I would not care at all about American politics. The only reason I care about these things is because I am an American.

Yes, but let’s be totally honest, Bush is first and foremost a local act of stupidity. An act of stupidity that will (I hope) resolve itself in about a year.

In the big picture Bush’s stupidity is a localized event that only hurts the USA. As much as we want to believe otherwise Bush is not a global scale disaster.
