One Mind, One Vote

Should there be literary tests? Tancredo seems to think so. However many Americans would have to disagree. Though understanding literary tests can provide a better understanding of the government body, the knowledge of the three branches won't change the fact that a democrat supports healthcare so as to help those with disabilities such as down syndrome, being blind, or being deaf; whereas the republican does not. Having knowledge does not always mean that the best decisions will be made for the nation. Compassion and sacrifice must be given to the people as a whole, no matter if they are illiterate because they are still human with human needs. Everyone should think of what is best for their community not just themselves.

"Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts."
- Margaret Drabble

Since the beginning of time, there has always been a structure for the way life is supposed to be given by the superior being(s) and/or nature. Society has been made to shape the ideas of the superior(s) usually holding no sense of right or wrong. Society's "one mind" has been centered on the mind of others instead of our own and what may actually be in our best interest. If you look through our history of war, media, human behavior many people are followers not leaders. In the past; communist China, the next generation's down-heel spiral following the lives of movie stars and rappers, even the constant gossip are all things that have yet to go out of style. Therefore this quote by Miss Drabble speaks only the truth about the past, present, and likely the future traditions of the world's inhabitants.

Comments on Using the R-word

If Rahm Emmanual did in fact say "f**king retarded", then Sarah Palin did deserve an apology from him. People who are retarded or who have any other disability don't choose to be that way and have to live the best they can with it. However the word retard itself is a condition not a insult. It is often portrayed maliciously towards those who are considered "stupid" or an act that is considered stupid, which is why many people resent the word. There is nothing wrong with the word "retard", it's just the context that many people use it in that makes it wrong.
