Weekend Post of March 26.2010_ Poetry

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend. - By Adrianne S

This Poem By Adrienne S. is very metaphoric and inspirational. The poet compares friendship to many regular and normal things. Some of these things are gates and flowers. I like how the authour made the poem relatable. I think the author went within her soul to figure out the true meaning to a friend. Friendship is an in-depth relationship. I believe that friendship take a while to build. Talking and listening are required from both friends and also the same amout of equality and loyalty.

Dr. Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King Jr. was known across the nation as a great hero and a great leader in the civil rights movement. Because of his popularity among Blacks, his life, family, and home were constantly in danger at various times. He was threatened, harassed, arrested and even jailed. In January 1957, nearly 60 blacks administrators met in Atlanta to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Martin Luther King Jr. was elected as president. A few months later he met with vice president Richard Nixon when they were celebrating Ghanaian independence. A year later, Dr. King and three men who were civil rights leaders, were given awards by President Dwight Eisenhower.

One of the America's described America is considered to be beautiful.The other America contains every race other than whites and in this America the people live in poverty.
I think Dr. King meant that in his version of America everything is right and there is NO segregation or racial barriers. I think Dr. Martin Luther King jr. is trying to say that this America should be more like the other America.


The Two Americas

Based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, he believes there is two Americas. In simplicity, Dr. King means that one America has an abundance of jobs and opportunity for its citizens. On the other hand, he speaks of the lack of respect for African- Americans and how African- Americans have no jobs and even if they do have jobs, their pay is severely low compared to white people. Today, I do think that racism is still about in the world, but we do not see many cases of racism today. -

In addition, the majority of all people are given the same opportunity when it comes to jobs. Due to the recession the country is in now, there are not as many jobs which means that the country is not really overflowing with an abundance of milk and honey. Similarly, the other America today is poor. The Declaration of Independence says that all men are created equally, so why should anyone be treated differently.

The debate over health care reform in the United States centers on questions about

* whether there is a fundamental right to health care,
* who should have access to health care and under what circumstances,
* who should be required to contribute toward the costs of providing health care in a society[1][2],
* whether the government should support health care commerce by forcing citizens to buy insurance or pay a fine,[3][4][5]
* the quality achieved for the sums spent,
* the sustainability of expenditures that have been rising faster than the level of general inflation and the growth in the economy,
* the role of the federal government in bringing about such change
* concerns over unfunded liabilities.

Health Care Reform Pros and Cons 2010 and Constitutionality of Healthcare Bill Explained. Many Americans are trying to weight he health care reform pros and cons in their head. This is hard to do, as there aren’t many people out there – politicians included – that have actually sat down and read the 2,300 pages plus of legislation.

To many, healthcare reform as passed on Sunday carries more cons than pros. The cons are the cost – how are we going to pay for this? Why would I get fined if I didn’t elect to get healthcare coverage? What if I can’t afford the required medical policies? Will my doctors change?

Other cons include resistance from the general public, showcasing that the passage of Obama’s health care plan wasn’t what’s best for America. In addition, not a single Republican voted for the bill in the House – showcasing that the effort wasn’t exactly bipartisan.

The pros are somewhat subjective. The proponents of the legislation say that the bill will bring insurance to 32 million Americans that currently don’t have access to coverage. The way the bill is structured is supposed to bring down the nation’s deficit by billions of dollars (the key word there is “supposed” to – what are the chances that this thing will work as planned?)

In addition, the bill is supposed to cut back on Medicare fraud and waste (there’s that word again – supposed to), and reign in insurance companies.

Thousands strip for nude Spencer Tunick photo in Sydney

More than 5000 people have gathered in front of the Sydney Opera House to be photographed nude in the name of art and diversity today.

A pregnant woman was among the first group of Australians to take their place on the steps of the Opera House just after dawn in photographer Spencer Tunick's latest installation, Mardi Gras: The Base.

Mardi Gras festival executive producer Danielle Harvey said 5200 people, including sportspeople, doctors, teachers and retirees, had lined up to take part.

I think this is very crazy and awkward
