Music Lyrics

And "I'm Proud to be an American"
The reason I picked this because during the war, before all the hate the soldiers got from people, is that they were proud to be an American and fight for there freedom, and also stop Communist on there track.

No Handlebar by The Flobots

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

{VERSE 1}
Look at me, look at me
Hands in the air like it's good to be
ALIVE
And I'm a famous rapper
Even when the paths're all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome

I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

{VERSE 2}
Look at me,look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future

I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

{VERSE 3}
Look at me,look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
ALIVE
And on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handle bars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

Tweets of JFK

Here are some tweets that JFK will had tweeted

Media cover war

Today in our time, the way they cover the Afghanistan and Iraq War is full out. They talk about every action the military takes, how many of our troops have been killed or wounded. They also talk about how some action hurt the people around the towns they are station in and they also name the worst part to be in the war. During the Vietnam War it was both similar and different because of the people involved, when the killing happen in Kent College Protest news everywhere talked about it, because the people of the United States during that time, had more of caring for world peace than we have now. Also during the time of Vietnam the technology wasn't that advance, it took 12 hours just to listen and see what happen in the other side of the world. Now we could just instantly get a notification in Facebook, Twitter, via phone, or email.

MLK and X

These two Giant in the civil rights movement has been compared for lots of reason. MLK had his idea of Civil Disobedience, which he says that we can not solve a problem with a wrong solution such as riots or fights, but in peace by talking or keeping our mouth quiet. While X idea was that to get something we must do anything necessary, meaning that he will do anything to get the respect for all African-American if it means doing a wrong to get a right. When it comes to which idea gets the job done, I will say both. I easily sit down and chain myself but the question is will anyone pay attention what am I doing, while I can hold a riot and let the whole world know the problem going on.

Meritocracy

I believe in this idea, that if you worked hard enough you can achieve anything. Reason why i believe in this idea is because it has been proven lots of time. But during the film of "A Class Divided" it had a little effect on my idea. Just because the teacher said that Blue eyes were superior than Brown eyes, it changed every little kids mind, Kid with brown eyes acted silly or unresponsive just because this huge idea was dropped on their head, while the blue eye kids just began answering each problem without any hesitation and getting than right. But on the next day when the teacher flipped the table saying that Brown eyes are superior than Blue eyes it changed everything, the blue eyes kids couldn't answer any of the question from yesterday, while the brown eyes did. The whole idea that depending on your position of wealth, race, gender, or anything else can affect on how you do certain task or job.

"I Am" Poem

I am a white freedom rider
I wonder what other whites think of me
I hear my name being slandered
I see the beautiful countryside
I want peace
I am a white freedom rider

I pretend all their strikes don't phase me
I feel hatred
I need this to be over
I worry I won't make it
I cry for freedom
I am a white freedom rider

I understand that I am not wanted here
I believe in equality
I dream of unity
I try my best not to strike back
I hope this will end soon
I am a white freedom rider
