Amnesty International

Whenever i hear the name Amnesty International, only two countries come to mind. The U.S, and Mexico. Their as i hope you all know, a large debate regarding weather or not these aliens should be welcomed into this country. Up until this summer i was indifferent on the issue. That was until i was in Israel this summer that i was sent on a "Tikkum Olam" mission or a "Fix the World" mission to go help college students outside of the capital buildings in Jerusalem, play with Sudanese refugees. I had no idea that people all the way from Sudan, which is on another Continent. When i got their everyone knew that they were thankful that they had arrived in you could say the only secured country in the Middle East. Their lives had been changed significantly. I compared that situation to the one at home. Why couldn't we just let all people in. Yes, our lives will change to, their will be more Spanish everywhere. But the isn't the essence of America just a big melting pot?

You dont Know What You Did Last Summer?

Technology's advancements have never failed to stir something up. Its no difference when it comes to a protein induced memory lose. Weather its a car crash that injured a love one or you were hit in the face with a baseball bat, their are things all of would like to forget. Well i say too bad. These incidents in your past are exactly that, your past. Your past makes you what you are so by erasing your past you have erased something you will do in your future, like maybe smash a bat into the head of the person who hit you. I strongly am against memory, it would probably get out of hand, like a lot of other things in the modern world, and people would use it for smaller accidents, such as the baseball example. Who knows, maybe this could get so out of hand that a government would use it on people who saw things they shouldn't have, or maybe people would use it on government officials who saw something they were not supposed to see.

Your invited to Josh Saitelbach's Bar Mitzvah, 9-11-04

We all will forever remember 9-11 as a turning point in American history. For my family when we were assigned 9-11 as the date when my brother and I would be Bar Mitzvahed we didn't know what to feel. At first we joked about it. Because we are not active members in our temples community, we assumed that they gave us this date because it was a "reject" date. After about 3 weeks of family meetings and deciding what was the best course of action regarding our Bar Mitzvah date, we came to a conclusion. We were given this date because we had to continue on as normal. We couldn't change our date because we as a family, apart from having to coordinate a 200 people ceremony, we needed to do it on a day when the world was changed, and have a smiling face. This shows our strength as a family and as citizans of America, if we are all strong then we cant be divided.

White House Hires the Best (looking)

To the new White House Deputy Press Secretary, Dana Perinos, looks is not the only thing that landed her the title. While we would like to all criticize the president once again for hiring the wrong person. In this day and age its embarrassing how many American people know so little in regards to our government. Maybe having an attractive woman answering Americas questions will help create an interest. I'm all for hiring the best candidate for the job and in this case with such little involvement from the public, our government needs to do all it can to spark even a glimpse of attention.



Our past White House Deputy Press Secretary, Tony Snow, is suffering from cancer. His background as a television anchor definitely helped his ability with evading questions and not letting the presidents image slide further.


The trend beginning is not all bad. Good looking people are not always bad people in politics, and they are not always the wrong choice for the American public.
