In this statement, the president first says we need to control our borders better. Just recently we've added more technology and more workers to help with our border and illegal immigrant problems. Second he thinks if no americans want a certain job we should bring in workers from other countries to fill the job. The press release pretty much says the same things over and over as they allwayz do.
I think it is great that we are upgrading our border control and keeping track of illegal immigrants, but I do not like them offering other jobs to people in other countries, if they were allready in the country i could see, but dont call people in to work.

government detainees

2005-11-15T12:15:00.000-08:00

In my opinion, these detained "terrorists" should not receive any rights that a US ciizen would get b/c 1.they are not US ciizens and 2.they are not on american soil. It's ashamed that we have people trying to protect our country at any meens possible and people qeustion them.It's like people don't care for themselves or hyeir fellow americans, but if somhing were to happen to them or their families they would want something done immediatly. Here are two sites to check out.

governer results

I'm upset not mainly that kilgore lost, but that i think people in certain reigions don't look at the canidates or their opinions on things, that they just vote for a certain political party. I think that to be able to vote people should have to give a good reationale of why they want to vote for that party and that would cut back on all these people that jump around their beliefs so much.

the debate

2005-10-10T11:30:00.000-07:00

It seems that both candidates were well prepared for what came at them as far as questions. Kilgore seems like he wants to perserve virginia and kaine wants to change it and i dont like change. The only thing i agree with kaine on is establishing a law against abortion. I do however want the death penalty in virginia. So i belive that mr kilgore would get my vote because he doesnt want the death penalty abolished.so yea-thats about it.

government responses to katrina

2005-09-08T12:12:00.000-07:00

ok-lets take a second to reveiew whats going on-we've had one of the biggest catastropies in american history-people are trapped and the government is trying to get everybody out by force. The way i see it is if people want to stay in their messed up homes, in messed up conditions, they should have the right to do so. Also why is it taking congress so long to decide wether or not to give the money for the releif fund, what are they gonna do-just act like it never happened and just leave a part of our beloved country left all to hell, I meen what does it take to get these snobby rich congressmen off their butts to do something usefull for our country. I meen it isn't like they are afraid of it being rejected by president bush-he has allready said as soon as it hits his desk he will sign it. Another thing, if the mayor is trying to remove people-why isn't mrs. hot shot governer either aiding him and helping him or stopping him-is she scared-if she is she shouldent be in office.But you know-until somebody takes charge of the situation it isnt going to be handled-so somebody needs to step their game up or resign so we can get somebody else to do it.

Gas Prices Webquest
Names Jeff Rosson and Jonathan Clayton
Mr. Daly
9/2/05

1.Research the impact of Hurricane Katrina on gasoline prices. Why did it cause an increase in gas prices? What are some problems that this increase may cause? What are some things that are being done to control costs?
Type your answers here….because new orleans is a major port in bringing in gas and the damages in the gulf of mexico didn’t help any.increase in gas prices will eventually cause inflation on most everything.president bush opened up some of our countries oil reserves to help with the prices of gasoline.
2.Research current gasoline prices across the country. Write a summary on why some states or areas have higher gasoline prices than others. Think about the area's location and population, does that affect their gasoline prices? Include current prices in your explanation.Type your answers here….3.o5 is our national gas average,but around charlottesvillle most gasoline distributors are selling at 3.30 a gallon.the reason is we need more gas b/c of our population and the effects of katrina also helped in our gas raise by cutting off how we get most of our gas
3.Describe the changes in gasoline prices in the last fifty years. Type your answers here….if you take into effect all of the inflation that has occurred in the past 50 years gas has not changed that much,but if you look at it the other way we’ve had three major gas price increases-currently, around WWII,and in 1973 when war broke out between isreal and arab nations.
4.Compare gas prices around the world. Do certain regions have lower prices than others? Which countries have the highest prices and which have the lowest? How does the current prices in the United States compare to the rest of the world? Type your answers here….some countries have their own oil and can produce their own so they don’t have to pay that much-the more oil your country produces-the more likely your gas will be cheaper.The UK is charging 5.64 which is the highest and the lowest is in venezuela.The United States is in the middle as far as gas prices are concerned.
5.Write down or copy/paste the URL of the websites you take information from so you can quickly go back to it if you need to to prove your point. Keep a list of the websites you visited to hand in.
Type your websites here….money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/price.html

divided they stand

2005-08-30T08:52:00.000-07:00

in this artical you can tell that peter galbraith doesn't like president bush.But, in this artical they can agree on one thing,the bush administrations brokering the iraq constitution,helping to make iraq stable and possibly save the country. In galbraiths opinion iraq is allready divided and not that the constitution is dividing them, which is what what most american critics think.He says,"Iraq was not created by god.It was created by Winston Churchill".now i dont know exactly what he meens by that but it doesn't sound like he is very happy with what the brittish prime minnistor in WWII did by creating iraq. But back to an earlier topic, Galbraith and Bush both begin their analysis by taking a hardlook at real iraqi society-but i agree with the writer of this artical(dabrooks)that when thes two agree, somthing big is happening.
