No need to fear technology. Billy Joels song,"Technology", was a threatning way to veiw the rapid pace and growth of technology. One main enemy can put all technology to an end, Electoromagnetic Pulse or E.M.P. for short. E.M.P. is Much like the shock wave of an atomic bomb but without all the death, fire and brimestone.
With the rapid growth of technology cutting man power, makes some people feel threatened or spooked. But, in actuality it is making life easier for people to cut the crap we don't like to do in life out. Even with A.I.(Artificial Intellegence) programs making computors human like, there is no suprise there, are'nt we all trying to creat another us, there is no need to the ever changing technological world. E.M.P. can put an instant halt to the evolution of technology. From computors to the programs that run subway, to the fuses in your house, all are affected by the shock waves, would render the world primal. In all seriousnous, people have become so adapted to technology, it would be more frightening to have no technology as opposed to feeling threatend by the growth.
If you ever fear technology just think of the comfort it has given you. Or, have comfort in knowing that people can end it whenever we choose. That is the balance in which people play in the world over all things.

Oppressing the rights!
http://www.litmuse.net/prompt_rights
oppressing the people! With today's growing society, more and more laws are being created to regulate the citizens.When does Majority rule reign over Human rights?
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that all humans are entitled.
There are many political views on when and how these right are distibuted. Which is a form of oppression in its self.Take for example, the case in Miami, which was a wide spread view to abolish public discrimination based on sexual preference.
The majority of the people said,"that was rightous" but, the oppressed minority had to group up in communities to escape there oppresser's. Forced to hide in order to come out. At this point, people need to realize when they are just being plain assholes. I'm not gay but, I believe that whoever makes you happy at the end of the day, you should'nt have to hide your way of life just because the majority of people think of it wrong. In this case and every preference case, should be thrown out because the punishment is worse than the crime.(like a whole lot of other laws if you pay attention).
It is true on one hand, that it is a genetic error to be homosexual. The human race would end if we do not approcreate.But, as long as the majority of people are straight, then let the minority and the oppressed be as gay as they want to be. It will have some negative affects on society but hell, just about everything these day's does in some way or another.

You got Jacked!
http://litmuse.net/prompt_hijack:
When being hijacked the United States deals with terrorist about like salt on a slug. If put in a situation as an airline being hijacking, How would you deal with the problem? For Example, " A wonderful day for flying", the captain say's over the intercom. Smash!Bash!Screams!, and ten minutes later, The terrorist have you at gun point at the helm of a jet.
The terrorist yell," Tell your president we will crash the plane into another build unless they release Hobjobdobdiddlibob Muhammad from prison". As the panic sets in, you suddenly realize the situation is in your hands.
Here are somethings to consider, Throughout the ages of war and power, there has always been terrorist, Like being hijacked on a plane. Then why over time have people felt a need not deal with a terrorist? as opposed to trying something.The current policy for the United States even Say's "We do not negotiate with terrorist".If thrown into a situation I bet your now willing to try and strike a deal.
You have to play with terrorist like a chess match, make a sacrifice then capitalize. Capitalize! is'nt that the root of America? Maybe instead of saying we won't deal with terrorism( which will happen either way wheather you do anything or not) Why don't we try things from the diplomacy side of things.
To handle the situation at hand, instead craching into another building uselessly, Tell them we want the safety of the people and give them what they want but, with a little twist.( An espionage approach) Give them the prisoner back with a bomb straped to him, the ol' two negatives make a positive. Now you own the situation and demands. This crazy illusion of a plan would most certainly be better than doing nothing at all.

A Little About Me
My name is Michael Purvis, I'm a nursing major in persuits of many goals. My first thought about college was, "God I'm going to be here for a while". If I had to give advise to any of my other classmates I would advise them to persue what makes them happy and don't waste time chasing money, if your good at what you do, you'll make plenty of it. My experiences in life range from one end of the prespective to the other, but I have found that with modivation and a little education you can acheive any dream, regardless of how much cognitive thinking you where blessed with. I train and socialize dogs for the time being because animals are more pleasent and more fun. I battle hours between Work and school but but good ol' happiness and well being can't be replaced as my top priority.

What is Right? What is wrong?
http://litmuse.net/prompt_right_wrong:
What is right? Just because you see somthing as right, does'nt acually make true.
There are two main types of rightness or wrongness, do you view a topic somewhat wrong or do you view as absolutely wrong, a relitivist or a absolutist. Take marijaunna for instance, Many people see as an absolute drug only to wrought your brain over long term usage. Then there are people who see it as a life saver, a means to safely divert reality to somthing more pleasent and passive. There are many ups and downs to foriegn substances in the body. Do you immediately jump to conclusion without truely knowing the facts or do you make an assuption to what others's tell you. The best way to find out is through knowlegde. If you are curious as to where you stand look into the facts and make your own opinion.
In dealing with right or wrong, Take yourself out of the equation and view it as a whole, Meaning don't look at from your point of view but look at as a relitivist point of view.(Put yourself in others shoes) Your past can somtime misconstrew the true meaning of right and wrong.
For example, if a man/women is a cancer patient going through theropy, the doctor decides to precribe them a mild drug for nuesia and dizziness, even if they where against that particular drug in the past they now seek comfort from it, change the preception of right and worng. To truely determine what is right? or what is worng?, education and knowledge will lead you in the right path.
