Congress's Arts and Crafts

Congress plans to do lots of cutting. Think of this post's title as a pun. It's not an artsy thing. Nor beneficial... or rather, HARDLY beneficial. Congress is thinking of cutting pay for our dear soldiers. I'll admit I'm not an extreme-ist when it comes to supporting troops, BUT I do support them. As I have stated, Congress wants to cut soldier's saleries, which I find, (excuse my language), is completely bull. Soldiers risk their lives for us, for our country, which ironically, Congress runs. (But without the people, who is there to govern?) Our soldiers, marines, air force, all of them, don't get enough pay already, especially considering the standards they live in. I believe that I have a better proposition; cut Congressmen/women's pay. They get paid way too much, coming from our pockets (our taxes). Which isn't fair. Especially when the soldiers risk lives for us, while Congress lives the good life.
Cuts have been made at our education system. In fact, a school I know have laid off (+-)10 teachers this year. One which does include the band teacher. Music shouldn't be cut from schools. Nor should teachers. Music is beneficial to a student's life. Music heals, helps escape, and brings joy. Studies show, students involved with music (very less likely the hip-hop/mainstream kind) have better grades, or are more happy.
Besides music getting cut, teachers are too. Teachers are VERY VERY VERY important. Without them, how do the students learn? Busy parents can't help. Extra classes require tuition, which many parents don't prefer. What does that leave? Less-intelligized students. Which, in the future, can lead to a low economy. Why? Well, let me be crude for a second. If these students, learn less, there is less knowledge. Which means, they won't comprehend as well of how to spend correctly, or save and such. Of course not everyone can do that, but just strategicially speaking of course.
Education is important, as well as music classes. Soldiers need pay. A good pay too, since they're risking lives. Let's cut something less needed, like the big, fat, juicy salaries that the Congresspeople get. They have more than enough. Actually, much agreeing with Jay Leno's joke, we SHOULD get a refund of our money everyday a Congress person DOESN'T work. I think citizens would love that idea :)

Ring Around A Rosy

Children song? yes, indeed.....meaning to it? quite interesting.....
This song's meaning is basiclly a lesson about the black death/plague. It was created to teach children of the middle ages about the sickness spreading across Europe. "Ring around the rosy" was when the flea bit you, there would be a mark, rosy-ish color that would have a ring aroung it. "pocket full of posy" is the line where the people of that time thought there was a cure. One of the plagues in the Black Death was airborn and rare because you had to be aroung someone sneezing or coughing to get it. And it made you die so fast, you didnt have time to spread it to others and people thought the cure was to sniff a posy pedal (a type of flower petal) and it can protect you, so everyone carried a 'pocket full of posy'. "ashes, ashes, we all fall down" So many people died at that time ( approximately 25 million people) that there wasn't much time to bury all of them, so they burned ALL the dead bodies. Fire=ashes, fall down=dead. End of explaination.....

Random Sayings

A bunch of random sayings that'll hopefully bring smiles to you :)

If adults don't believe in Santa, then where does all the Santa Mail go?
My favorite thing about gummy bears is knowing that they can't fight back when you bite their heads off.

People who say "nothing is impossible" obviously haven't tried stopping a revolving door with their hands.

Pigs can fly......in food fights

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross road WITHOUT being questioned of their motives.

Cereal is the best substitute for pencil shavings.

If you get to the point of obession over a person, the best way to somehow make a hobby out of it is to take pictures of that person and make it into your personal flashcards.

Life is too important to take seriously

My life is based on a true story.

Don't read beauty magazines, they'll make you feel ugly.

Don't insult the alligator until AFTER you crossed the river.

There's always light at the end of a tunnel, just make sure it isn't a train.

Hard work never killed anyone, but why take the chance?

Hollywood's Edge

HOLLYWOOD IS BIASED!
Thats right! Heres how..........

• Hollywood's "sexiest man, woman alive" is biased. It's actually just more of "who the world currently knows to be sexy". The people in the category have some kind of celebrity record on them, of course. All of them are some person that has been in a movie, show, etc....just their parts are different and might be smaller and larger than others.

But in honest terms, they couldonly use the current people they know. It'll be too hard for them to go down every country and whatnot just to find the literal "Sexiest Man/Woman" alive... That'd take too much work, time, and money.

Fair and Unfair

The world is biased, and I can state reasons.

• The poor aren't being helped much. Everyone wants to help the celebs, oh look! There's _______! No one cares about the poor. The poor is the people that can barely get throughout the day and you want to help the rich, who has tons of money to do whatever they want with?
• Car chases by police aren't fair in this world either. If it's a really expensive car, they don't pull out the spikes to stop the car immediatly, instead they wait and chase longer. But if it was one of those Toyotas or Hondas or Nissans, the police shoot the spikes immediatly. Once, there was a car chase and the suspect was possibly a celebrity. The car being chased went at 5 mph on a empty highway and yet, the police is just slowly chasing behind. (The chase went on for over two hours).
• People fawn over the rich. Go into a store, and if you dress like a poor person who can't afford to buy something in their store, no employee volunteerily goes to ask if you need help/helps you. Dress like a rich person, and the employees greet you warmly, tell you about promotions and other things. (This point really just is going back to the first point, but it has a story with it.)

These things aren't really fair. Refering to the third bullet point; My friend and I had once walked into a Coach store. She was in the rush that day and just came from a meditation class (which required a uniform) Her uniform obviously wasn't the most fashionable thing in the world, but she had her Fendi purse, as a gift from one of her other friends. Anyways, as you walked into the store, there was a person handing out coupons to everyone. She walks in and the person just barely looks at her, and turns away, but then turns back, eyes focused on the Fendi and finally "warmly" smiles and says "Welcome!"
