Final Editorial

We live in a world where power is everything, where freedom is everything. Yet in are world today we are starting to see things differently. Since the current election of the new president, are world has become a like a main event at a carnival. Like at any good carnival, it is designed to make people laugh. When our political and economic standing came to a crash, we became the laughing stock of the show.

We live in a world full of false promise. Since the day Obama took office he has promised us reform, hope, structure, and peace. We have yet to see this. We have begun to question the ring leader who has promised us the show of a life time, and has yet to deliver.

We live in a world full of hope. We watch as his promises of a new health care plan is lighten up in lights at the carnival, only to have the current pulled back to show us a show that’s not everything its hyped up to be. We have been hoping for so much more. We believed that there could be more.

We live in a world of fear. As the ring leader tries to recover his faulty promise of a good show we start to see his true colors. In the new plan everyone will have to serve in the military for two years in a foreign country. This puts fear in people’s hearts. This is not the show they wanted to see.

We live in a world full of lies. We are starting to see that we only looked at the picture of the show before we walked inside the tent. This show is not what we wanted. No one has yet to read Obama’s entire health care plan. Every time congress votes, he adds more pages. One part of the plan gives Obama all of congresses power. Did they skip this page? I hope not.

We live in a world full of uncertainty. We walk out of the show wishing that it could have been better, wondering what to do now. The ring leader only smiles, wave’s goodbye, and encourages us to come again. We are pulled into a promise that in the end we never received. If we agree to a health care plan that no one will read fully, that no one cares to understand, then why should we vote for something that we know nothing about.

We want to live in a world where we are safe. Where we know we will have are basic freedoms. We want a world where the government stays out of our lives. We ask only for the comfort of respect and honesty. We don’t want the government to decide are lives. We want to live are own.

We should always question that which others except.

  1. What military plan are you referring to that will require everyone to serve in the military for two years? I haven't heard anything about that.

  2. The government tends to be a reflection of its people. It's hard to pin point one single person as the source of the issue, he's a bullseye that serves as decoy.

  3. Its written in the bill that everyone will serve in some sort of branch of the military. I have no idea how they would break it up for army vs marines, national gaurd or navy. And of cource you havnt heard about it. No one has bothered to read his bill. Educate yourself and you'll see it in the bill.
