Based on what we have studied I would most like to visit a European country. Most likely I would want to visit England because I have always wanted to see what it is like there. It just seems like an interesting place with everyone driving on the wrong side of the road and all that cool stuff.
In the past 2 weeks I have been doing all my schoolwork and getting ready for school to end.

The one-child policy is the population control policy of the People's REpublic of China. The Chinese government refers to it under the official translation of family planning policy. Basically your family can only have one child.
One thing I would do to fix this would be birth control for everyone. It would be expensive but it could in the future lower food prices/medical bills.

I definately think the Militants are to blame for the genocide in Darfur. They are the ones who are commiting genocide, so how could we not blame them. I also think that the UN is to blame because they didn't act.
The Belgiums are also to blame because they created the whole mess and just left the country.

My favorite band would either be Bullet for My Valentine or Breaking Benjamin. I like both of these bands because of the style of music they play. I don't really like the mainstream rap that is played on the radio so I listen to alternative rock/grunge music.In the past two weeks I've just been hangin out with my friends and goin to school. We've gotten back into the homework routine ever since Christmas break ended and the homework has been piling up. There's way to much of it. I've also been watching a bunch of movies and listening to music.

I'm not sure if I should talk about something random or take the directions literally and talk about freedom. But seeing as how I'm still a minor, I can't really talk about freedom.
I think I'll talk about socialized medicine. I believe that we should have a socialized medical system much like the Canadians or the French(in which both countries have a high life axpectancy then the Americans).
The only problem some people have wiht this idea is that is would lower medical care standards. But there is no evidence to support that. I myself think that America should have a publicly funded health-care system that every citizen gets.
In the past 2 weeks I have done a lot of homework spent a lot of time outside bla bla bla. You're probably not even going to read this "what I did in the past 2 weeks" thing are you?

I don't believe in arranged marriages. To me it would seem as though you have nothing in common. Basically if you marriage was arranged you wouldn't choose your spouse for who they are, but your parents choose them because of religion or some other stupid tradition. I don't think love can just be created like that, you need to find someone on your own.
Basically in the past 2 weeks I have been rushing to finish my science fair project as the due date comes up. I put it off till the last minute and now I'm in a bad position to get a good grade. I also have been hanging out with m friends more seeing as I got ungrounded.

I don't think global warming is that big of a deal. A degree here and there never killed anyone, and by the time the temperature rises too much we'll be living on the moon. But if the ice caps melt and it start to flood all of the land, then we're screwed. I don't even think we have a plan if that happens. I do agree with the laws that are being created about greenhouse gasses.
In the past two weeks I haven't done much besides music, homework, and watch movies. I've been very very lazy. Though I am looking forward to the Watchmen.

At Anderson we have about 30 computers in the library and an average 1-2 computers in each room. I'm typing this blog on my home laptop which I use daily. I own an ipod, an LG phone, an xbox, and my laptop. My laptop is probably my most important technological possesion because I use it so often, and it helps with schoolwork.
In the past to weeks I haven't been doing much besides hanging out with Joey and Lucas. I have also been listening to a lot of music and playing xbox a lot. I've watched a bunch of scary movies and a few comedies. My christmas break was fun and it was nice to not have homework for a couple weeks. Over the christmas break I didn't do very much. All in all it's been pretty fun.
