My Opinions

Hi! First off let me introduce you to my part of the cyber universe. May it always be strong.

World Issuses

I know that I should have like everyone else posted something after 9-11 but it was just too soon for me.
I did not have family or anything like that with 9-11 or its victims, but as an American I felt like I was stabbed in the heart. Nothing had ever or will ever (god willing) happen like this on this kind of scale. Even when the Japanese attacked they did not target the innocent, the cilvilions. This type of horror and anger had not been felt before by us.
We did not think anyone was stupid enough to go and try this. I knew something might happen but this never. I as an American knew as I watched this on T.V happen that these people who did this were going to be very sorry. I knew that they would not get away with this. I knew this because look what we did to one of our own who blew up a building. They had (and still have) no idea what we would be capable of doing of going how far to reach some kind of justice for this.
People have tried before and failed and so must they now. We were and still are really ticked at the people who did this. If we have to I know that somehow we will find these people and make them regret what they did. Because just like the Peral Harbor attacks had awakened us so has this and this time I think we will now sleep with our eyes open to quote Former President Roosevelt "They have awakened a sleeping Giant." 
 
The world may be in tromoil but these are just phases and phases will pass and the world will find a new peace that will last.

My Opinions on Current Events

Today the 9th district of federal court has made the Pledge of Allegiance unconstittional as such it is to be illegeial to have the Pledge recited in scholls in the following states:Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington state.

In a 2-1 decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ( news - web sites) said the phrase "one nation under God" amounts to a government endorsement of religion in violation of the separation of church and state.

This person who fought the plege is an athesist. Although I do not have a disliking to athesists in particular this one irks me. He is a laywer who was upset to find that when his daughter was saying the Pledge that the words "under God" were used. He felt this to be unfair and decided to fight it.
 
I have known people of different faiths even athesists who just go ahead and say the pledge they don't mind the words "under God" they don't think anything of it.
 
 By the 9th district saying that the Pledge is Unconstitutional it can effect even the Congress, The House of Representatives, The Constitution itself, our courts, the inaguration of the Presindent, hell even money becuase it has the words "In God we trust." This ruling has really ticked off the country. The entire Congress upon hearing this ruling went outside and said the Pledge. They said that they were going to say the words "under God" and if they were to be arrested then go ahead.
 
The House said that this ruling could make the entire govement Unconstitutional becuase the word God is in just about everything including the Constitution which gives them their power and our rights. This is an extreme movement of Polical correctness that just is insane. The miovement now is to repeal this law before real damage can be made.
 
 I am all for rights for everyone but hell this is just insane. The polical correctness movement has just gone way too far. First they say you can't have Christmas parties or prayers now they say we can't have our Pledge of Allegiance. This has just gone way too far to comprehend. What next we can't say hello because it is deemed unconstitutional. I thought this was America the Land of the Free not some Nazi country where we can't even say our Pledge of Allegiance.

It is now 06/26/02 and the world is wondering is Arafat still going to be the Pallentinian president. Will a new attack happen on July 4 and is Bin Laden really still alive and ready to attack agian. These questions plus the new coperate scandal (Worldcom)  has griped the country today.
