The letter

Back in world war 1 the letter was the only way to communicate to the people back home.  This could cause many problems and frustrations, such as the long process of the mail getting sent or the person could die but the person receiving the letter might believe they are still alive. The letter getting sent through the mail is a long and tedious process, it could take months back then to get a letter from the sender to the receiver.  Also in some cases the letter would get sent and the solider would die but the receiver would get it thinking the solider is still alive.  

A great loss

The war that had the highest amount of deaths and wounded men was world war 1.  This most likely happened because the weapons were not as developed and the soldiers fighting in the war would run in to the battle with out thinking.  The tactic of the war at this time was to wipe out as many men at once, in doing this it cause a greater number or casualties.  By having so many deaths in one war this probably caused a population decrease.

Jan 14: Reason for this glorious day postponed but will prevail and restore power to the native people.

Jan 15: I will not alter the constitution. Committee of Saftey needs to be put out, but we fear bloodshed. Will protect the people first.

Jan 16;  Truck of arms for insurgents stopped by police today. Only one injured, but distracted most from from the speach letting them know the temporary end of the monarchy

Jan 17:  To avoid any collision of armed forces and perhaps loss of life, I do, under this protest, and impelled by said forces, yield my authority until such time.

Funding Violence and the Destruction of Lives

According to the SOA "In Colombia and the Andean Region, our taxpayer money is paying to escalate a civil war, displace hundreds of thousands of civilians, strengthen a military with a horrible human rights record, damage critical bio-diversity in the Amazon basin, and more." That fact alone should be enough for the American people to up rise against the government running a terrorist group like the WHINSEC. Joseph Kennedy is mentioned as being a critic among others, but what has really been done about this group in last 59 years of its existence? After multiple investigations and public scandals (1984: CIA manual for training the Nicaraguan Contras in psychological operations was discovered; It's a big public scandal, 1988: As a result of a June Congressional hearing, prompted by allegations in the New York Times that the US had taught Honduran military officers who used torture, the HRE manual surfaces for the first time., 1991: An investigation by the DOD, and the list goes on) how is it that they still exist, or at the least have not been revamped completely? Everything the government and military does that is unethical is considered as classified for our security. The real reason for all the cover up is because they need to maintain a false trust with the American people, so they won't question what they are doing, such as killing church officials, peace group workers and civil rights members. This is easily done by the government because America is one of the most overworked countries in the world. No one has time to demand that the government make wise ethical choices, because they are too busy working (both parents mind you), raising kids, and being super consumers because that is what we are best at. There is hope with SOA out there and political opponents to WHINSEC but it will take the American people to really put this group to rest.

BED BUGS ATTACK!!!!!!!

 In April of this year the New York Times printed the headline "Bed Bugs On the Rise in New York City". They began with explaining exactly how tiny these creatures are in order to give the readers that creeped out factor. You can't help but feel helpless when faced with something so tiny you may not see it. They then followed this with a reminder of the childhood rhyme "Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.", making you wonder if they really were sharing the bed with you then. At this point they go on to explain that this terror to society was all but extinct in the U.S. for the last 40 years and asks why they came roaring back in the late 1990s. Now they speak of the EPA and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention as acknowledging that there is a problem with bed bugs and that they advise cleaning around crevices and frequent vacuuming (sounds a little bit of weak advice for a problem that is worthy of New York Times headlines).

They were making this out like an epidemic, but it was far from it. But, it made a great story from a sales point of view! Everyone is creeped out by them and even more so when an article is telling you that they can be found in a 4 star hotel room. If you owed a paper and had to choose news stories by relevance and most valuable information for your reader, bedbugs probably would not have made the cut. Pretty sure this yellow press was meant to get people into frenzy and tell all their other friends to read the article too!

Maybe Apple suggested they write it in order to sell their app Bed Bug Alert....

Gaming could potentially help others learn because in this day and age technology is becoming more and more used instead of books.  More of todays teens and younger kids are more interested in technology then a book and by people using games for learning it will hold the attention longer which means they will learn more.
