Mccandless vs. Treadwell

While in class we tried to compare Into the Wild to Grizzly Man. I really think this is just like comparing apples to oranges. Novels and Documentaries are not the same, When comparing things i believe you can only have one variable . I feel their are two variables in this case.
1. How you portray the story. One chose a movie, the other chose a book.
2. Different people created the movie and the book.

I think that the only way we could compare these logically would be to have either Karckour or the other guy create both stories for different people. Though i see how the stories relate, i don't feel they are comparable.

Happy Holidays!

Watch Them Disappear!

While browsing a magazine for holiday gifts, I came across this odd one called, Uncommon Gifts. Little did I know I would find my blog post in this, I searched the magazine for anything I could give. I came across this mug, called the "disappearing Civil Liberties" mug. I was completely shocked. 

 Could we be really making a profit off of something so drastic as disappearing civil
 liberties? To be honest, i don't see this as a bad thing, It is almost like that show on
MSNBC, how to catch a predator, The police forces say that people who watch
that show are more likely not to commit that illegal offence of i

nappropriate

sexual
 consent with a minor. Maybe if this mug isbegin used on the congress floor,
people will notice the change that has been occurring. The coincidence, once the
 liquid cools, the rights begin to reappear, Hopefully our world will began to cool

 down too.

Political Compass

After being introduced to the Political Compass, i found it amazing that this short quiz could determine my beliefs. I knew i was more to the left than the right just from analyzing my self. However, i never knew that i was MUCH more libertarian than authoritarian. Maybe this was just a way to stick it to my parents, Just like Chris Mccandless right? I also found it interesting how they have the 2008 presidential candidates plotted. I though for sure that Hillary and Obama would have been more to the left, it almost upset me because i had already associated them as more liberal. But i cant really base my decision off this one graph right? After all it was a short quiz and it can give you an idea of where you stand. But its only an idea. 

America, a Big Melting Pot

We as Americans pride our selves with our diversity. After all we are one big melting pot. However Much of the time I find that that is not the case, we are not as diverse as we would like to think. Classes do much more than sperate wealth, they also separate culture and beliefs. Their is a Korea Town, China town, and a Little Italy, by calling America a "big melting pot" we should only have one lets say "Korinaly Village". I do believe in individuality, we should all be able to let people know where we came from, if we want to call america diverse we cant belittle ANY groups of people. None. Gays, African Americans, Islamic, or even Latinos. Different ingredients in melting pots mix cohesively, just like we must do as people of the same nation. Instead maybe we should change to motto to this : American A big pot, with the heat turned off. (so nothign mixes together).
