New 5 Dollar Bill's "Counterfeit Proof"

The government has just released a new "counterfeit proof" 5 dollar bill into circulation. Now i ask, is there really a need for this? Who is seriously gonna counterfeit 5 dollars? Our country is in the middle of a big economic problem so shouldn't the government be trying to figure out how to help people make money so we can get out of debt instead of worrying about making new money. If you really do research on our economy and look below the surface you'll find out that the worst counterfeiters in America is the government. Our country is constantly makin new money in the mints and we don't have the gold to back it which is why our country is in an economic problem to begin with. So in essence, the new bill is already counterfeit as is most money in circulation in our economy, but as long as it was printed by the government then it's not a problem right?

Money Is Freedom

This Tuesday, a 15 year old girl in our town was found raped and dead in the basement of her house. Police have arrested her 25 year old cousin and he was charged with rape and murder and set on a $500,000 bail. Meanwhile in Philadelphia on the 4Th 3 men were charged with armed robbery and given a $200,000 bail. The problem i see with this is that the law is basically saying that if you try to rob someone at gunpoint and you do no physical harm to them then your gonna have to pay $200,000 for your freedom which in all is fair because you didn't harm anyone and might not have had an intentions to do so all you did was commit robbery and used a weapon as a threat not as a way of harm. Now we look at the case of this girl who was raped and murdered at 15 and the murderer only has to pay $300,000 more for his freedom then the armed robbers. So the law is basically saying that a life is only worth $300,000. I feel that there should be now bail for committing such a terrible crime anyone who takes a life should have to pay with either a jail sentence of a death sentence not a sum of money. If money can't buy you love than why should it be able to buy you freedom.

Out of the few movies that i have seen this month, i must say the "27 Dresses" should get two thumbs up. It was cute, yet not so much a chick flick, cause trust me all my guy friends went to go see it. It relates to real life and how the perfect day should be so perfect. The main actress had played an amazing role, she was always planning other peoples weddings as you could tell by her closet because she was invited to every single one that she had helped planned out and kept every single dress that she had ever been in. She is in love with her boss, then her sister comes home and destroys her whole life pretty much by dating then marring to her one love. Of coarse her sister insists on her help to make her wedding as perfect as it could be. As jealous as the one sister was she continued to help her sister in her "faithful marriage". As soon as the plans and the preparation became over-whelming, she blew up on her sister and ruined her big day. At the wedding reception she had shown pictures of her sister in numerous lies and all of her " boy toys". As you know, the wedding was off and the sister was miserable as the other sister was happy because she wound up FINALLY kissing the man that she thought was her everything and there was not one spark during the romantic kiss.
Pope Benedict has made the "thou- shall-not" list longer for the catholics. Genetic manipulation, pollution, mind-bending drugs: They are among the issues the Vatican is focusing on as it looks at what constitutes a sin. Drugs, pollution and DNA are now stated on the list. The original deadly sins include lust, gluttony and greed. The Catholic Church says pollution, mind-damaging drugs and genetic experiments are on its updated thou-shalt-not list. Last year, the Vatican addressed the problem of highway accidents, issuing a kind of "Ten Commandments" for drivers against the sins of road rage, alcohol abuse and even rudeness behind the wheel. This is really the continued process of massive mind control and the church ought to be talking about how to create value in ones life instead of telling people how they should live. The truth is WE ARE ALL GODS and the church would never want anyone to realize that truth.
Monday, March 10, 2008 in Westchester NJ, a young teen was caught with marijuana ( or a blunt/joint) by his father. The young teen said that he had bought it in his schools library for $20. The school suspended the young teen for 9 weeks. The school wouldn't have known that the teen had the marijuana if the father did not go to the school about it.Many of his neighbors heard the case and believe the suspension is too long and they've begun a petition asking school officials to reconsider. No further news was found on this article.
ABC news had just stated that Governor Spitzer has been linked to a high-end prostitution ring."There are published reports that Governor Spitzer has hired a top New York City law firm to help him navigate this crisis. This is a stunning twist for a man who at one time, appeared to be destined to run for the White House. Now, Eliot Spitzer is fighting for his political survival.Democrats were flummoxed by today's news. Sources for both parties agreed Spitzer has got to go. A Spitzer resignation would make, Lieutenant Governor David Paterson, the former state senator from Harlem, would be the state's first African-American governor.
Over the past month i have went to see a couple of movies, one of which was absolutely horrible. The movie Cloverfield. This had no good script reasoning, no climax and it was just BORING! The actors and actresses did not know what they were doing, it was like they had grabbed people off the street to make this film. I suggest that no one spends nine dollars a ticket to watch this pointless, horrible movie.
