Beautiful Flying Creature

If I could be any insect it would be this beautiful butterfly from Brookside Gardens, Maryland. This amazing insect can fly which is one reason I would love to be this insect. It is also unique and being unique is something I would want to be in the insect world. Also since butterflies go flower to flower pollinating they get to see all the different kinds of exquisite flowers there are.

Horribly Assasinated

"Martin Luther King Jr., Don't stand on the balcony of hotels. It' too risky with you being a speaker for freedom of African-Americans!" This is exactly what I would tell Mr. King. He was such a great influence on the people during the time of slavery. He could have done so much more for the African-Americans if he wouldn't have been assassinated innocently standing on a balcony of a hotel.

Freedom

Black History Month teaches everyone what the African-Americans had to overcome. Being kept against their own will, forced to work day after day, and sometimes even mistreated is what the African-Americans were put through during slavery. It shows us that we should love each other. It shows us also what the African-American's ancestors did to make a better life for the the future African-Americans. Black history is completely positive in the world today, because it helps us realize that no matter the race we are equal. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for what he thought the African-Americans deserved, freedom.  He would be proud if he knew we had a month dedicated to celebrating the freedom of the slaves.

iPrank

The best app that I have came to use the most is "Tunee Music." It gives me free music to download onto my phone with a wide variety. It's the best music app I've tried which makes it my favorite since game apps aren't my thing. The weirdest app I have found on google is called "Werewolf Detector." Yes you read it right. This werewolf detects werewolves, but wait there's more! It only works on a full moon, how not cliche. If I were to create an app it would be called "iPrank." This app would give you funny things to do at different places. Places like: Wal-mart, elevators, etc. It would give you pranks or jokes you could pull anywhere, anytime.(Unless you're a scardy cat)

ipods and ipads. Hassle or helpful?

Elementary teachers have been in a classroom with wild little kids, but high school classrooms are another level of craziness. High school students would be tempted to listen to music, play games, etc, which would distract them excessively. Then again iPods and iPads can also be good learning tools sometimes also. There are apps that we could use for maps in geography or apps for math, but I think they would be more of a hassle than a than helpful because most of the high school students would get distracted.

The Chaotic Country

Mexico is currently chaotic. Rival drug cartels fight for regional control while the Mexican government tries to reduce drug trafficking with the drug cartels. The drug cartels revolt against the authorities and kill and kidnap people for ransom money. Arrest of cartel leaders escalates drug violence while the cartels fight for territory control where they traffic drugs into the U.S. . President Felipe Calderon is having a hard time with stopping the importing of drugs and the violence going on week after week, which is the main goal he has with Mexico. Since Felipe has took control 28,00 people have died. The main drug cartels are The Beltran Leyva, La Familia, and The Gulf. The U.S. is partly responsible for the violence in Mexico. Ninety percent of the firearms originate from various sources in the U.S, seventy percent of Mexico's narcotics flow into the U.S., ninety percent of cocaine in the U.S. comes from Mexico. After tons of violence La Familia wants to demonstrate that they aren't responsible for the criminal acts federal authorities are reporting to the media. They said for the whole month of January they would not kill. By letter, emails, and the media, the truce has been spread to the citizens. The current state of Mexico, in my opinion is out of control and I think they need to protect the innocent people as much as they are trying to reduce drug trafficking. If I was in Mexico I would try to get to a safer place in Mexico or try to escape to the U.S.
