Should Obama go ahead and close down Guantanamo Bay? I actually don't think he should. Where would all the prisoners that are there go? If that could be cleared up, maybe I would accept his proposal. But, according to the news, it will cost some amount of money to do so and it is actually effective. I do not understand the reason behind this. Sure it cost money and prisoners have been treated badly in the past, but its ok. Seriously. We need to just keep this thing going and make sure the bad guys don't get out and continue to plunder and pillage the any more establishments. They are being treated better and it keeps these terrorists from doing any other harm to any other nation. Maybe we are doing other nations a favor with Guantanamo Bay. We just need to keep it up!

How would you react if you were forced to get up later for the school day? How would you react if your whole day's activities had to be rearranged in the next school year? Well fairfax county had their meeting on monday, and they deicded that the idea was not worth putting into effect. The board decided that they did not full think things through. The funny thing is, that they are the ones who wrote it up in the first place. Apparently, they have a weak spot. I thought the idea was stupid in the first place. All hell would break loose if this were to happen. They believe that students would go to bed at the same time if the times were to change, but they are wrong. About 80% of the students would stay up later and get just as much sleep at night. I really have no idea what these people think that they are trying to do. STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE ERVERYONE ELSE. I enjoy my after school activities and gettting home at a decent hour. If the hours were to change (even though I won't be here next year) then after school activities would go completely out of whack...I don't want that to happen, do you?

Question: Should D.C have the right to vote in congress? Well...apparently the government thinks so. The legislation to give D.C. a representative in congress has passed the Senate. However, there is a tag-along with this bill. Utah gets another congress person and D.C. will not be allowed to control its own gun situation. Do those really go together? I think not. The utah thing, sure, but the whole gun thing does not. Personally, I don't think that D.C. should get a congress member. I don't understand the reasoning. New York City is larger than D.C., yet they don't get a representative. If we give D.C. some voting righs, should we also give indian reservations voting rights in vongress too? It is a city. Sure its a district, but COME ON...its a district. There is reasoning in that last sentence. The NRA has threatened and flexed their muscles at the latter of the part of the bill. After I read that the NRA was saying something, I scoffed. I personally do not like the NRA. They are really an organization that bullies everyone around. They bullied Bart Stupak from Michigan and threatened to not allow him to get re-elected. Seriously...stop being stupid and put all your energy that you put into threatening, into something productive. Arts and crafts may be a better use of you energy. This issue makes me really mad. I just don't get some people's reasoning!
