It actually doesn't matter to me if Senate hearings are aired on television. It dosen't matter to me at all if shows should be aired on television as long as it's interesting. If it's interesting, then I'll watch the show. If it isn't, it might be to someone else, so I just don't watch the show and watch something else.

I don't think there really are limits to what is aired on television. People rate things like movies and tv shows as "G", "TV G", "PG", "PG-13", and "R", but that doesn't stop teens and children from watching certain things. Most parents don't monitor what their children watch anyway. Plus, it doesn't even make any sense to rate things if people aren't going to monitor wath is being watched on television. If people don't spend time reading the rates, then why waste your time trying to make the rates.

I think the Twilight series deserves this award because I don't like to read books, but this book actually changed my mind and kept me up all night reading to see what happened next.

For Memorial Day, parents are off work, and kids are out of school in our community. So, for this day we all get together and have a cookout, or we visit the memorial in Downtown, Baton Rouge to see the names of the soldiers that died in a war. I think it is both a day of respect for american soldiers because we always keep those family members in our hearts, but a day off from work because some people are just selfish and don't do anything on this day.

I would come up with a list of ideas. Then, I would post my ideas on any social websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Bebo, GMail, Skype, Oovoo, and Ustream. I ask everyone to vote for wich idea they like the most, and wichever idea has the most votes wins.

Secede means to take away from membership in a federal union. I would be scared if my state’s leaders were considering secession today. I would would be terrified if our leaders were talking about making schol all year long. If I were afraid of that happening, I would probaly pass out if the leaders were talking about secession.

If I had the chance, I would get everyone to sign a petition stating that we citizens belive that secession is unnecessary. If we seceded, we would loose everything. The U.S. would no longer have a future. To make things worse, all of that hard work we went through to become a nation would just go to waste.

If the U.S. ever finds out if there is going to be a new ruler in a country, we could make a deal with that country. We could lend them a lie dector if they don't have one. If they don't have one, then we teach them how to use the one we gave them. If they do have one, we could tell them they can use it to se if the new ruler's intention are to help this country, or hurt it.

This would be a great idea. Its is a way to find the perfect ruler for your country. It's another way to spread peace. Also, you won't have to worry about making a mistake and picking a bad person like Hitler.

I think it was called "the shot heard around the world" becuase it was probably a figure of speech to say either there was a war between people from both sides of the world or the war made it to the news that was worldwide.

I don't think presidents should get involved. It's like getting involved in gossiping. The more you get involved, the worse the situation gets. If our president has something to say, then he/she need to keep it to themselves.

In addition, the president should be worrying about helping and improving our country. The president should be worried about other countries when dealing with buying and selling goods, or trade. Other than that, the president shouldn't worry about other countries except ours. It's the best way to prevent drama between the countries.

I think good can come out of a disaster like this, but not much. Even though a lot of people died, at least some people and small families survived the sinking of the Titanic. At least some people got the chance to go back to be with their families. Yeah, more people could've escaped, but  at least people survived.

I do admit. The comany that built the ship were a little cocky. Since the company viewed the ship as "unsinkable", the company decided to keep a very small amout of life boats onboard. And when the Titanic actually sunk, only some passangers made it. But, some is better is none. It actually could've been worse. There could be a chance where no one could make it.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
