A Modest Proposal on Gun control

Dear Diary,
Well its the closest thing I have to one.Anyways I would just like to express my personal feelings on a certain issues. Now that Halloween season is coming I imagine that New Orleans is becoming more and more chaotic. Local shootings is a terrible and sadly common tragedy in this city and we should address the problem at its core. We need to make private ownership of fire arms illegal. Now I know what my audience is thinking, if I had one. What about our most fundamental right as our americans descended from ancient four fathers? The right to bears' arms. Well what if I were to tell you, that the government has lied to you about the true meaning of that amendment. We are to form  gun unions or militia just like the National Rifle Association (NRA). Several militias is not only more social but more democratic as well. All these unionized militias will be able to keep America safe from any Redcoats threating our land. While I have faith that the state police will be able to regulate any unauthorized gun owners with utmost skill just as they regulate drug trafficking. Anyways its just a misguided oppion of mine.

Government Gone! Libertarians Around the World Unite!

 Attention Americans, do not be alarmed! The members of congress are not dead, they are just sleeping until they receive their government paychecks. This is very similar to when the Redcoats burned the White House down in 1995. Yet the people persevered without the government and won the war. Now I have seen the scared faces of the children leaving in a hurry for Fall Break and saying that Stephen Colbert is the only sane one left. But it is times like these I am reminded by the words of Thoreau "A Government is best which governs least." It   is time that we as a nation realize that the libertarians were right. All we really need from the government is a road to drive our SUVs down. I am managing not only to survive this supposed crisis but I was still able to hand my essay on time. And not only that But have kept my health up under a reasonable budget. A feat the government has been proven to not be able to. Bottom line, who needs the government; I do what I want!

Crossfire is back! by: Alliciyia George

So for those of you who haven't heard, Crossfire is back! I happened to catch an episode the other day, and of course the topic was the government shut down. I never saw the original Crossfire that we talked about in class, but this one seems very different. The hosts of the show consisted of one Democrat and one Republican- both women, and they had two guests come - again one Democrat and one Republican. Each person was able to make his opinion known as well as a case for that opinion. Disagreements were handled quite civilly and in fact all of the people seemed to agree with each other on majority of the issues and possible solutions at least partially.

Anthony Weiner

It has been my understanding that politicians try to like and identify with voters in order to win their favor. Therefore I would like to have a moment of silence for Anthony Weiner, who sadly lost the mayoral primary in my home state New York. Of course Anthony Weiner still lives up to his name and has reacted appropriatle to this pitfall. When haters got you down you just gotta raise dem fingers and get the heck out of dodge. To Anthony Weiner, I wish you luck with your lady problems.

Americans Have Such Short Memories by Alliciyia George

For me I was in first grade, but I still remember a time when people cared about what happened that day. But ofcourse, Americans have such short memories that is why we elected Bush twice. What is worst is that Americans think every nations member is as bad as ours. Some peoples past goes back further than 237 years. This is why are relationship with the Middle East is in the state it's in. Other wise we would know that the Iraqi Sunnis and Shias kill each other over events that took place in the 7th century C.E. We would be able to comprehend that Iran is not "unified" like America, and the Kurds do not identify as Iraqis unless it serves to benfit them.  

I guess what I am trying to say is it really should not have surprised me when the school forgot to put the flag at half mast this morning , or that I stumbled upon this article on about this 9/11 golf course sale in Wisconsin, and here is the link http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/golf-offers-9-11-discounts-article-1.1450671

In the article it reveals of a Wisconsin golf course $9.11 discount. Happy 9/11 Wisconsin golf enthusiasts!

Bashar Al-Assad

Everyone these days seems to talking about syria. From what I understand Al-Assad is the current president of Syria who is using chemical warfare on civilians who dislike his presidency, or terrorists. Al-Assad must be a common name as it reminds me of the modern warfare Khaled Al-Assad who was the fantasy president of  Russia. Besides their appearance both presidents seem identical in their policy-making. Call of Duty always seems to give a keen incite of modern events.

Thomas Joseph Lilly III

 I am Thomas Joseph Lilly III, but please call me Trip. I have recently gotten into the habit of using my full name as a formality. I feel a sense of pride in having an extra long name, size matters. The name Trip is used whenever you are the third in your family name. I am studying music in college as my own college and grew up in Long Island New York. One Interesting thing about me is I recently had an apple themed birthday party (the fruit) where I sat on a throne of apples all day and people would approach giving their warm regards. They were pink lady apples my favorite.
