The U.S. has over 3,100 military bases all over the United States. Ithink it might be a good thing for so many of them because we are prepared for mostly anything and we have plenty of back up. I don't however agree with the fact that they are sending in so many of our troops into war that we aren't even winning. They just need to let it go or at least make an agreement with Iraq.

I think that the government should spend more money on the country instead of using it on military forces. They should make it so that they can get as many people off the street and feed the homeless. If we spent more money on trying to educate people on tobacco products and other harmful drugs, then people might be better off. All this money goes to weapons and funds on military forces and we aren't even winning this war. It upsets me that people and getting killed and hurt on the streets when the government could be stopping this or at least trying to.

*PROTISTS*
SUMMARY
A protists is any of a group of eukaryotic organisms belonging to the kingdom Protista according to some widely used modern taxonomic systems.

*MAJOR GROUPS*

Animal-like Protists:

• Their decomposer's and symbiotic, are disease causing.
  
• Their consumers, hypertrophy's, unicellular and are classified by movement.

Plant-like Protists:

• They produce oxygen, autotroph, and they are the first on the food chain.
• They are multicellular (algae) and some are unicellular-phytoplankton.
• They produce 1/2 of the worlds oxygen.

Fungi-like Protists:

• fungus-like slime molds (reproduce via spores) and water molds and downy mildew (flagellated cells)
  
• Their decomposers
  

*LOCOMOTION*

• The way protists move is sarcodines (pseudopod) which are false feet. Flagellates ( whip-like structures) Ciliates which is hair-like paramecium, and sporozoans which don't move on their own. They need help from water or other stuff.

*Reproduction*

• They reproduce with their mating tubes.
• Again, highly variable
• Asexual by Fission
• Mitosis, offspring identical
• strepto- long chains

*Benefits*
* Some of the benefits of the protists are they clean the water by eating and breaking down the toxic waste and other bacterias that can be very harmful. * They are in your lungs and they help break down the mucus and stuff in there.

*Problems*
Some organisms can be harmful because our bodies aren't used to them. There is bacteria based organisms that carry diseases and other harmful bacteria. Also without some types of protists and organisms, the world and Eco-system cant function properly. The protists break-down certain things in water that is harmful to us and makes it better.

WHEN I AM GONE.

I want people to remember me as a good person, not someone who broke the law and was a liar and a thief. I want people to celebrate my living not my death. I want people to mostly be happy at my funeral. Even though I am dead, People can be happy that I was alive. Theres a certain song that I want played there but I cant remember what its called. I hope to accomplish in life is have a great career that I love, have a family and a nice place to live with plenty of money. I want to live the big life. I was both liked and disliked. Nobody has everyone they know and don't know like them. Someone had to not like you. The number one thing in my life was my family. I would take the bullets for my family anytime anyplace. I made things happen in my life. No one did it for me. I didn't do what I loved the most but I did do something I loved. Remember me when I'm gone.

I think that if people want to do art of themselves of other people in the privacy of their own homes then it should be fine. If their trying to do it in public then I would have to disagree. I don't know about you but I am sure that I don't want to see naked people around town. I feel like its uncomfortable to see and very disturbing.
I am against public display of bad images and language. And also sencership should be done too. Younger children watch t.v. and don't need to be introduced to inappropriate language and images. I don't mind it for myself or other older people because I am used to it but to younger people shouldn't. They also have parental control too so if parents really didn't want their children to watch stuff then they'd put parental control on t.v. and on the computer and sometimes on game systems. This is my statement about sencership and parental controls.

ABORTIONS?

I think that it would be a good idea for parental consent because its a very dangerous procedure to do. Your life is also in risk, not just the baby's life. Only if the woman is under 18 should parental consent be required. If your over 18 then your parents aren't legally responsible for you anymore. It's a very difficult decision to make and it can be a life changing experience and it probably would be good to have support with you instead of doing it alone. Parents have a right to know where you are and where you are going because you are their responsibility and they love you. In some situations it may not be any of their concern like if you are emancipated or if theres another personal reason behind it.

I think I would vote or Marijuana to be legalized because I love Marijuana but theres also some bad things about it to. But I'll tell you why I want it to be legalized.

Cannabis does have harmful effects yes, but it's not anymore harmful then alcohol of tobacco.
Cannabis also has a ingredient in it that are indeed beneficial. It even helps patients that have Multiple sclerosis. Its really not that bad. A bad thing though about it baing legal is that it might be harder to get the good stuff because people would be buying it so much. Its probably the most used drug around. I love marijuana and I wish it was okay to smoke without all the bad stuff.

Well I would rather have my child come into the world the way they were naturally suppose to. I wouldn't want to make a mistake on my baby and hurt it. I think it might be cool though to have a Genetically Modified child because they could be very successful in their lives and be healthy and strong and do good. But I also believe that my child will do just fine in their lives by coming into the world naturally without any nicks in the procedure. I think that my children will be successful if thats what they want and I will be here for them no matter what.
If I were to do so then id try my best to make sure that the depression and heart disease and all the other downers get out of their genetics. I will love my kids no matter how they come out though.

McKinley Reflection

1) The thing that I liked the best about the experience was that we got to hang out with younger kids and watch how smart they are and videotape them on commercials.
2) Aspects that were difficult for me was to make them listen all the time. I understand that they are only in 3rd grade and it might be hard for them but it was hard for me too. Also it was difficult to adjust to the surrounding of little kids.

3) I think that they may benefit to us being there by maybe wanting to do something like that when they get into high school. Or maybe that made some of them want to be a movie star or actor. I think they may have learned some good thing from us being there.

What I really hate is when people talk "crap." I hate it because all it does is start "drama" and nothing but trouble. Throughout my life iv had my share of people talking crap. sometimes you can get used to it but I really cant. It sucks. I hate when people talk about how they hate how fake people are when really they are the "fake" ones. I hate when people talk about themselves all the time and brag about all the girls or guys they been with. I hate how people talk crap to you and cant back it up unless they have their friends with them. I hate jealous people who try to break your relationships just because they want to be apart of it. Its normal to be jealous of people but compulsive jealousy is bad. I hate when people prank me or call and hang up. Theres a lot more that I hate but this should be enough.

What or who I really love is my boyfriend Robby. I love him because I can talk to him about anything and everything and he'll always be there to listen and give me good advise to get through hard times. I love him because hes sweet to me and he cares about me. Throughout our relationship, people really didn't want us to be together but we stuck together through all the good and bad times. We have great and bad memories but all of them were worth every second of them. He really is the sun that brightens up my day. I really love him. I may only be 15 years old but who ever made an age up that you cant be in love? No one did so no one can tell me I cant love.

Three things you value: an object, a relationship, and an idea.

Something I value is my house because i look at all this bad weather and all the storms and i couldn't imagine what id do without shelter. I feel bad for the people in Africa and all the poorer countries that don't have food OR shelter. That makes me value my home more then a lot of other things.

The relationship I value the most is the one I have with my boyfriend. I am grateful for the times i spend with him and all the time I am going to spend with him. He is the one who brightens up my day and makes me smile. Sometimes we don't always get along of agree about everything with each other but we still love each other and respect each others opinions.

An idea that I value is my invention that I am going to create. I would really like to share it with you but then you might steal it and use it for your own and get rich. i will say though is that it has to do with tattoos and the ink. I am going to make good money off this idea and many people will be more satisfied with their new tattoos. My idea will work out for everyone in the end. :)
