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.

Should U.S. citizens be forced to give up their civil liberties during a time of war?

        I beleive that citizens should be forced to give up their civil liberties in a time of war. I beleive this because the United States gives us our freedom and rights. The government keeps us safe and makes sure that our nation continues to thrive. When another country threatens our safety or our governments safety, they need us to stand up and help with the war effort. Whether it be to fight the war, or to work in a factory to support the military, the citizens should do this in order to defend our freedom. The citizens should do what is necessary to keep the freedom of the United States.

The Maine is sunk by Spanish Ships!

Spanish Ships Sink the Maine!

      Yesterday, the U.S.S Maine was sunk off the coast of Cuba. It was reported that the four Spanish ships surrounded and attacked the Maine. The Maine was sunk in less than an hour and the entire crew was found dead. Neither the Spanish ships nor the government had any reason to attack the U.S. or the ship. When will our government finally decide to strike back? We must rally our troops and attack the Spanish for what they have done!
