Always in a Hurry (Week 17)

An 81 year old man was cited this month in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He claimed that a 54 year old women was walking too slowly. Therefore, he nudged her while in his vehicle. However, he did not just nudge her once but two times. The woman was injured but not seriously hurt.

Why are people so crazy? Where could this man possibly have been going that it was so important that he had to nudge this woman out of his way? In general, today's society is much too quick paced. Also, many people have the "the world owes me" mentality. What happened to the days of pedestrians have the right of way, leisurely strolls, and working hard to get what you want in life?

Needy Women (Week 16)

Fifty-three year old Drew Peterson will appear in court due to charges of killing his third ex-wife Kathleen Savio after his fourth wife Stacy Peterson went missing. Prosecutors say that the defendant killed witness Savio to prevent her from testifying in the case of Stacy Peterson's disappearance. Savio was found in a dry bath tub with wounds to the back of her head. Now, Peterson is engaged to his fifth wife. She is a twenty-three year old Chicago woman.

Why in God's name does this twenty-three year old think it's a good idea to marry a murderer? He's already been through four wives proving that he's not husband material. Also, he's a violent MURDERER. How can a woman be so needy and naive? This is absolutely outrageous and makes women appear to be dependent to the point of stupidity.

Muslims vs. Americans (Week 15)

Muslims in the Middle Eastern countries are being misinformed. The Middle Eastern media is feeding them blatant lies about America and what our country stands for. They claim that American product names mean things that degrade the Muslim people. Also, leaders of these nations are feeding their people wrong and violent messages about America's intentions with the Muslims. They are also teaching their kids at a young age to despise the American people.

I think this is absolutely awful. How can a people be so brainwashed? However, I think it is important to understand that this is not the stance of all Muslims. Not all Muslims are bad people who share these same skewed ideologies. It is important that we as Americans teach our children this. Also, it is important to keep them accepting and understanding of all cultures and backgrounds.
