Constitution Under Attack!!!
Two recent Supreme Court cases have served to virtually abolish the Fourth Amendment in the United States of America, with citizens no longer being “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures! America is a nation in mourning as a result of the violent tragedy in Arizona last weekend. This is an appropriate time for prayer and national healing. This is not the time to restrict the Second Amendment rights of Americans to defend themselves from unbalanced individuals.

Almost forgot.
We have spent a great deal of time this year studying about how people have worked to make the world a better place. In your posts today please describe how (1) someone from our readings; (2) someone that you know personally; and (3) you have made an effort to "light up the darkness." You should have at least one paragraph for each!
(1)A person who tried to make the world a better place was Chris MC Candle's. He made a journey to the wilderness to find him self. Along the way he wrote all his personal and social encounters of people he met in the way. But when people read his journal it details that he was trying to get away from the material world and the objects that controlled society like money,material things.He actually shows every one that the way to be truly happy is when they are sharing it whit others.
(2) Well i actually know a group of people who are trying to tell others about the things they eat like meat.(lol) the times when we hang out, i usually see them making posters and printing papers to warn people about meat and its origins. Its like they are activist against the meat industry , like I am an activist against the NWO and their plans. But that group of friends try to ligth up peoples mind to make them see how their food is being treated before it gets to their plate.
(3) Well i personally try to inform people of the coming doom that is the financial down fall of the U.S. But at the same time to make them open their eyes to hard reality that the elite are control freaks and want to reduce the population to a controllable number.At the same time understanding other that have problems, tell them that they are not alone, there is more like him/her. The way i tell people about so many things that are happening in the world and the real problem everyone should be facing, this is how i "light up the darkness".

March 1 .. work...
How did Don Haskins "think different?" Be specific! In what ways can YOU show the same type of courage that he did?
Don Haskins did not see the basketball players as white, black , he just saw their skills and the way they could preform team work.He did not felt intiminated by the other people that hated him for letting African Americans play, threat after threat he never backed down , because he wanted his team to get to the top he would not nothing stop that.
I would say that i could show that im not afraid of nothing that i love to do like speak my mind, freerun , inform other of world events. I pretty much dont care what other people say about me when i take action to prevent or to stop situations that could damage others or the community.Because reality is that people judge because they like to see the differences of others nwot themselfs.

Class work: thinking different
Please choose a person that we have read about this year who changed the world by thinking "different." Were they crazy, rebelious, troublemakers? How did they change things? What did they do to push the human race forward? How do you want to change the world? What do you need to do in order to accomplish that?{Extra Credit! Can you identify five people that were featured in this video clip?}
Many people who have ideas and the mentality to put those ideas forward to inchoet a new era of human migration. Not to other land or different places but to the britgh futere of prosperity, and equality. They do this not for fame,future or just to be in the spot ligth, they do this o that people can realize and think about the things that are occurring around the world in our community, country,continent. Chris Mc Candless was one of them he saw that people became dependent on objects except on each to succeed. He thoughth why to have things stay in places that just tell you what you are expected to be all to have a job , have a family and live.
But this is where he broke the chains and started to reconnect with actual human nature, to be free from any kind of trouble, and conflict that came knocking at the door. He isolated him self from anyone who would hold him back from his dream, to go to Alaska have his adventure and see the beutiful scene called Nature. while everywhere else people were letting their possetions own them , and get so attractred to the technology that blinds them. After his death and reporters investigators started to connect the pieces then, they relized that he left a message in his actions that said "Get out there and explore,insted of staying boxed in socety.

How did William Wilburforce embody the quote by Gandhi about 'being the change you wish to see in the world?
From the very start he decide to start a movement to stop and abolish slavery in his home country. William did not wait for someone else to stand up and stop the slave traders , no he Dedicated his life to stop that cruelty , in his mind he knew that no one would ever stand up and help the slaves. In his hearth he had the courage to help them because they are human too. He became the change, he did not care how many years it took to achieve this goal but he did it he help abolish the slave trade from England.

View this clip:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x9h-o8q9aa&safety_mode=1 And explain the social implication od Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s Arrested. What does it say about race issues in the U.S.?
The Race issue in America is increaseing but in my opinion it's the way people see it, the way they look at it.like a problem or a issue that cannot be solved because the idea of racism will be always alive.
