Richard Nixon had a negative effect on the United States

 In my review of Richard Nixon, only a few main points stuck out. All of which were negative. The three main points of his presidency that I noticed were that he was a main factor in the public not trusting the government by his lying under oath. He also made the country look bad by Invading Cambodia. Further more, he wiretapped many Americans and groups who he considered his enemies which also made the public question the purity of the government. Richard Nixon therefore had a negative effect on the United States for his national and international corruption.

The ERA Did Not Understand the Depth of Their Wants

     The ERA is based upon complete equality between both men and women. Therefore, if the ERA were to fulfill their crave for equality, women would be called upon to do the exact same things that men can do. With this, women would be expected to basically become men, while still being women. This is obviously impossible, and so I do not support the ERA whatsoever. In my mind, they had a good purpose and wanted to do a great thing, but they did not think deep enough to realize what they were actually calling for. They were not simply calling for equal rights, but complete equality. Since I do not agree that the ERA should have existed in the first place, I clearly do not believe that it should ever revive.

Jackie Robinson

     I believe that Jackie Robinson was one of the greatest civil rights figure. With this said, I would not go as far as to say that he was the greatest. He did many great things and helped in a great way; but others did more than him. The many great things that he did include breaking the color barrier and even after his baseball career he did more civil rights work. Although he did many great things, you must remember the things that other people did that led to Jackie Robinson playing for the Brookline Dodgers. You must remember that Martin Luther King Jr. and many other people had fought for civil rights for a long time and that Branch Ricky was the man that brought Jackie Robinson to the Dodgers. I believe that while Robinson was a great civil rights figure, there were greater.

Ending to The Butter Battle Book

Neither the Yooks nor the Zooks knew who would drop their bomb first
But Van Itch shouted out with a burst,
"Surely the Zooks have made a better bomb than the Yooks!"
Of course this offended the Yooks, and every Yook came out of hiding looking for all the Zooks.
After a long day of fighting, they decided that the fighting wasn't worth it
They realized it was only about which side of toast they made the butter fit
But they knew they could never get along
So they decided to build the wall higher all year long.

Civilian Murders Always Unjust

       The act of a soldier killing a civilian is unjust. During war, the only people that they should be aloud to kill are those who are their actual enemies. Killing an innocent civilian is unjust even if it is a war tactic. Killing an innocent person is never just and when there is a war, the civilians would not expect to be killed. Although it does happen often, and American soldiers also take part in this act, it is still clearly unjust. It may be a good war tactic and would help to bring down the morale of both civilians and soldiers, killing innocent people will always be unjust.

Simpson episode review

part 1:       The producers of the Simpsons did a great job portraying the 1920s. Although there were a few mistakes, the accuracies of the time outweighed the fictional comedy. Many of the things that they showed in the episode were accurate, such as the speakeasy, the Mafia controlled supply, and the FBI getting involved. They also protrayed people dancing to jazz music while drinking. Some of thhe things that they added were the people running around fighting people all the time, that people made their own alcohol, and that people of the country wanted prohibition to happen. I enjoyed the episode very much, due to the fact that although it portrayed the 1920s very well, it also had a lot of fictional comedy.

part 2:       I feel as though the producers should have shown a younger crowd at the bar, this would have shown how the younger generation was shocking the older ones. If they had an episode showing younger people drinking at the bar with girls dressed as flappers, they could have had older people walk in and act totally astonished. This would have greatly portrayed how the younger generation was drastically changing what was normally done.
