Freedom’s just another word and the $114.69 Speech Police

Freedom:

Fact: Americans haven’t had more that 60% people voting since 1968.  Ninety percent of Australians votes.

Claim: American are not living up to Democracy, and therefore are hypocritical when they fight for it.

Warrant: Elections help make Democracy

$114.69

Fact: University of Montana  set a $100 limit on elections.  Flint got kicked off for using $214.69.

Claim: The first amendment is being broken by limiting people on how much they spend on a campaign.

Warrent: Flint was kicked out of office and then sued the university because of the unfair treatment.

I Will Be President

Today, as we all know is a sad day.  My campaign manager has been involved in scandal and i have lost a loyal worker.  I am sadder and wiser because of this.  From this experience I have learned to monitor so employees carefully.  Although this disappoints me greatly i have become wiser because i have learned from this opportunity.

Mckibben

Mckibben talks about genetic engineering of people.  He questions whether making someone happier or more intelligent is really good.  It is human nature to question so if you make someone happy without them knowing why it could send them into a spinning time of questioning.  There is some truth to this fact because humans do question their emotions and we aren’t even genetically engineered.  If in the future human were programmed to be happy or intelligent they would not even be intelligent enough to answer the question of why they are so happy.  It is a strange concept of being programmed to be something or feel something so people would not understand why they feel something when they do However is everyone was genetically engineered then it would just be normal and no one would think anything was weird.  We don’t know what the future holds so we should go with the flow and see how things turn out.
