Equal Rights Amendment

1. I completely support the ERA. I believe men and women should be equal in every way. People tend to think women are all housewives, sitting at the home with the children. But this is completely wrong, many are as hard-working as men but have less of an income because of their gender. This ideology is completely wrong and should be banned with the ERA.

2. If it was revived today, I am sure it will be a huge topic with running candidates for political positions. But, at the end I'm sure the bill will be vetoed because it is not a big deal right now, women are given pretty equal opportunities as men, making people switch to more important issues instead of just the ERA.

Civil Rights Activist?

When you think of the civil rights movement, you go instantly to Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the leader of the moment as everyone would point out, but who was the true catalyst to the movement? His name was Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson is well known for being the first African-American baseball player, but there is so much more to him. He started off with such ridicule and hatred in the minors that any other person would quit and give up, but not him. He would do nothing to accusations, comments, even physical things such as spitting and hitting. As he entered the majors, he became one of the most hated people out there, with boos and yells as soon as he entered the field. What people didn't realize though, was that he actually had amazing skills. He wasn't just a guy playing for the Dodgers because they wanted to try an integrated team, he actually knew what he was doing and was good at it.

Where the civil rights comes up is that he himself was a non-violent protester throughout his years of baseball. He would keep calm under pressure and many people rioting against him. He did nothing when a rival team member sliced his leg open with their cleats. He kept his cool the whole time, and that's what makes him such an important person. By the end of his career, people praised him. They loved his abilities and cherished everything about him, with no prejudice towards his skin color. He revolutionized how people view African-Americans in the media, he changed how integrated everything can be, he revolutionized the civil rights movement.

Butter Battle Book Ending

Van Itch designed a new machine piece,
that combined all his designs and his wonderful niece,
the Wobble-tee-dees and Wonder-gun-tack,
were bundled together with wonderful nack,
what became a weapon of butterly demise
became a bundle of nothingly nothing,
and all he could think of was to severe all ties.

He ended the buttering fiasco debate,
and decided to put an end to the gate,
he became my best friend, and pulled down the wall,
Van Itch did everything to make him seem tall,
but when he died, his story went on,
and was told to me from my grandpa on the lawn,
he told me Van Itch was just an unstable man,
who didn't want anything but to recycle a can.
