Words of Inspiration!

    Lt. Col. Chamberlains speech was definately inspiring. He just went out and said how he felt, emotions and everything. I think there was even a few tears. Thats a man right there. Saying words of inspiration to keep his men going, hes smart and knew that would happen. I believe a moral idea can win the war, if you put it in your head that you will succeed then you acomplish what is on your mind. I know those men must have felt Lt. Col. Chamberlains emotions and sincerity, wanting to let them know that he knows how they all feel and will stand by them till the end. Thats what a true Liuetenant does, Guides his soldiers under his wings, but reminding them that he cannot do it alone. They must work together.

Reality < Stereotypes

Why do we live in a world thats not even reality anymore. Stereotypes. they surround every corner no matter what is said. All these years that have passed before us, have been filled up with stereotypes, from religion to race. No matter what the deal is, there is always something behind it thats not quite the truth. We all grew up with stereotypes thats why they surround us no matter where we go, and we hear them so often it almost sounds like the truth. How many of you thought black people, no matter what, will always love kool-aid and fried chicken? How many people believe that all irish men drink a lot and beat their wifes? How many people believe just because someones Arab their automatically assumed to be a terrorist? LIES! STEREOTYPES! Its time to take the stand and change all of these lies we've been through in our lives. Its not real, its not reality.

History as we know it.

Does history matter? If History didnt matter we wouldnt be here right now. We make history every day and it will always matter. Every step we take, and every word thats spoken makes history. History is what made everyone who they are today, where we are is from history. Everyones grandparents made history that has caused us to take their role in the world and create our own legends and paths. Everyone matters and everyones voice counts, no matter if your president or your walking to class, because of every small movement we make it causes something to happen in the future. Which will soon become history.

Government "sugarcoating"?

   I think that the government has no right to teach younger students lies about history. History is history, its happened in the past, therefore you cannt change it. I dont see why the government has to sugarcoat all our history to make it look like were the good guys in everything. They never even show how we got defeated or the real Christopher Columbus. Its ridiculous how much the government tried to cover up to make America look good. I mean sooner or later were going to hear about it, like in my United States History class. I just cant believe that 16 years of my life was sugarcoated facts. We shouldnt be taught sugercoated history, because its not the truth.
  Even though some, or a lot, of it will be negative, it still is history and cannot be changed no matter how much someone trys to cover it up.
