To whom it may concern;
After reading about President Carters idea to save energy, I agree with the issue. I agree on the idea of the Department of Energy, which coordinated programs that would figure out ways to save energy and promoting it. I also agree with the idea of driving less which can not only save fuels but the environment. Also the National Energy Act is very effiecnt because it again promotes saving energy. The one that does not make sense is Nuclear power because it is not safe and was proven by the accident at Three Mile Island when radation was released.

Get Up Stand Up
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Preacher man, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold; '
Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh! Stand up for your rights.
come on!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Most people think,
Great god will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. jah!
Get up, stand up! (jah, jah! )
Stand up for your rights! (oh-hoo! )
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up! )
Don't give up the fight! (life is your right! )
Get up, stand up! (so we can't give up the fight! )
Stand up for your rights! (lord, lord! )
Get up, stand up! (keep on struggling on! )
Don't give up the fight! (yeah! )
We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a
Jesus' name, lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty god is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah! )
So you better:
Get up, stand up! (in the morning! git it up! )
Stand up for your rights! (stand up for our rights! )
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (don't give it up, don't give it up! )
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up! )
Stand up for your rights! (get up, stand up! )
Get up, stand up! (... )
Don't give up the fight! (get up, stand up! )
Get up, stand up! (... )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! /fadeout/
The song "Get Up Stand Up" by Bob Marley has a lot to do with rights. The song has to do with blacks not getting the rights the need and deserve. This song is telling people, mainly blacks, to stand up for their rights and not to give up. I think this song really gave people the idea that they could stand up and not give up on what they believe in.

Men vs Women
In 2010 a lot has changed with men and women. Men and women are close to equal. They are not completely equal but they are close. More women are CEO's and Presidents of company's today now than ever. But still some families look at men as the bread winner and women are stay at home moms. Men and women both have equal job opportunity's and rights. The biggest difference is the way that some people look at women. Some people think women having rights is wrong still in 2010. I have to admit that in our past election I was rather surprised to finally see a women run for president and make it as a far as she did. I did not think i would see that this early in my life time. The part that shocks me the most though is that most of our government is men, and their still is no part of the constitution that has a women right amendment. So all in all woman's rights are close but not equal to men, yet.

JFK Musem
1) One thing i learned about JFK was that he didn't really think that he was going to be a president and it was more likely to be his older brother than him.
2) The part of the trip that I found most interesting was in the museum with his wife's things and the things from when she traveled to different countries.
3) A suggestion would be to extend More time in the exhibits and less on things that we already know. Something I was really hoping to learn was more about his death.
4) In my opinion JFK was an excellent present and in his presidency did a great amount to make him one of the greatest presidents. He saved the world from the Cuba Missile Crisis. He did a lot to help end civil rights, the laws weren't passed until he had passed though. He also started a plan to send a man to the moon which happened 6 years after his death. In his span in presidency he did more than most presidents do in a whole term.

Butter Battle Book ending
After both sides go back between getting the bigger weapon both sides will come to realize that the fighting needs to stop. They can't have a war over toast. So they grow up and make a promise and the wall will come down. And the toast will not matter and zooks and yooks will stop judging and eat the toast the way they want with out judgement.

Causes of World War II Speech
Hello Americans,
I am here to inform you that the war in Europe is getting bad and may come here soon. We are taking steps to prepair for the worst.
We have tried hard to keep the peace by forming the Treaty of Versailles, this treaty for peace punished Germany by taking away all there war materials and making hte pay the $33 billion dollars in damage. We also created the League of Nations this was made to decide on important issues to help prevent war. We also had the Washington Conference with Great Britian, Japan, Italy, and France, where we agreed to not build any battleships for 10 more years. We had also signed the Kellog-Brand Pact, which is where 62 countrys promised to settle disputes peacefully. And our last effort toward peace is the London Naval Conference. This was also like the Washington Naval Conference, but this added submarines, cruisers and destroyers.
The war has begun for many reasons. Mussoli has taken of Italy and went against all the things we tried to do to make peace. Japan has also invaded Manchuria to gain land and resources, this went agains the kellog-Brand Act. Also Hitler came to power in Germany and and Mussoli had the same tactics. Hilter also wanst to make a "Master Race" and has violated the Treaty of Versaillies in many ways. Mussoli has also taken over Ethipia and the League of Nations has not taken action. Also Japan has attacted China Twice in 6 Years. The war offically started when Germany attacted Poland and Britian and France Fought Back.
After two years of fighting Germany has conquered Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, and France. France had barley escaped across the english channel to be safe. Germany and Italy also took over Romania, Greece, and Yugoslavia. Japan has also taken over Indochina. We have passed the Lend-Lease Act which says that we can give things to other countries but we will need them back. And finally, Germany has reciently attacted Russia and are inside there territory.
I have made my decision to not join the war until we are attacted, we have much to focus on in our depression. We will remain nutral until we need to change that. I still strongly believe in keeping the peace and we can be a strong example for other countries, again until we need to join the army.

Depression 2009
After reading "Depression 2009: What would it look like?", it made me think about going through another Depression and how scary it could be, this also scared me because I had never thought if it before. I honestly think that we could go through another depression. Then again, I don't think that the depression would be as bad as the 1930's. I think think the depression would be as bad as the 1930's because after the 1930's a lot of new systems were set up, like social security, which proved unemployment benefits, pensions, and disability payments, which can help a lot of people out. Also I think that it would a little bit easier because now banks have a system that even if the bank gets robbed your money is still secure.
My family would defiantly have to make a lot of sacrifices in order to deal with a depression. The first one would be that I would have to pay for a lot more than i have to now, like sports, food, and the money that I get at my job i would probably have to get more hours and cut down on my sports time. Another sacrifice that my family would have to make is that my brother would either have to get a job at college and pay for more of his tuition, or just come home. A lot of things would change if my parents lost their jobs both physically and mentally. First, I feel like the stress level in my home would go up with my parents worrying about how they are going to make ends meet. Second, I think that the unemployment check would go to food, and mandatory necessities and my siblings and I would have to 100% pay for everything we needed or wanted. A lot of luxurious would be lost.
According to the Author, Dreake Bennett, the world would look different from when it did during hte 1930's he states "the lines would't be outside soup kitches but a emergency rooms, and rather than itinerant farmers we could see waves of laid-off oicciec workers leaving home for foreclosure and heading for areas of the country werhe thers more work", in this quote he talks about differences in what would be bad during a depression. I honestly agree with him 100% I think it would be hard, but not in the same way as it was during the 1930's.
