Interests

  • General

    I like soccer, videogames, movies and just hanging with friends. I am a big fan of what my teacher Mr. cornell said at my highschool graduation, and I quote: Would a good America support maximizing profits from our planet's resources regardless of environmental degradation? Corporations export factories and jobs to Third World countries, exploiting workers and causing great harm to local environments, at times receiving tax breaks for doing so. Corporate farming practices may keep food prices low, but cheap food has a price. That price is being paid by the horrible suffering of animals and the catastrophic damage done to your planet's land and seas. Would a good America have a government that seems to be more interested in serving the needs of big business than the needs of the individual? The number of registered lobbyists in Washington, D.C., increased from 16,342 in 2000 to 34,785 last year. That is 65 lobbyists for each member of Congress. No wonder oil companies are given huge new tax breaks at a time of record profits and credit card companies are helping to write new bankruptcy laws. Enron could not have perpetrated its energy scams without the help of new legislation enacted by our elected officials. Many agencies, created to protect public interests, are now headed by former industry lobbyists. Has America ceased to be great?The media, by all accounts, is controlled by four or five major corporations. The next battle - one that is currently being fought - is over the freedom and flow of information on the Internet. I hope you will seek an in-depth source of news that pursues truth and presents all sides of any issue. Only then can you decide for yourself - and this will take much longer than 30 seconds - what parts of America are good and what parts need to be fixed. I've always told my students that the most important thing they can take from my class is confidence in their ability to solve problems. The solution to any problem, regardless of how insurmountable it may seem, begins with the smallest step, the smallest of beginnings. Take that step and see where it leads. I have painted for you a world in crisis, but it is not a world without hope. Crisis is opportunity. Even the smallest moment of your lives is an opportunity for you to shape the world around you. In the words of Margaret Mead, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." The way in which you live your lives impacts the world every day. ..

About me:

I'm currently Attending Lynn Benton Community College and will be transferring to Oregon State University to finish up my Mathematics degree. I Hope to be a math teacher, and not take my self too seriously while I'm at it. If I could do anything I'd like to be a Film Director and create all the movies I have always wanted to see but have never been made. I hope that I never grow up because I don't ever want to think that being a child is a crime. I'm probably a hard person to get along with because often I think I'm right when I'm probably not and I can be rather stubborn. I wish a lot of things in my life were different but I am not really in the mood to change them. Being Vegetarian leaves me with what most of my friends call "a very bland diet" and my favorite food is Bow Tie Pasta with Pesto sauce and black olives and artichoke hearts and garlic.

Who I'd like to meet:

I would really like to meet Thomas Jefferson, the guy wrote the declaration of Independance. He was a player... Quote: "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed, But when a long train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them uder absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw of such Government, and to provide new Gaurds for their future Security..."
