Workers rights my foot.

It's Tuesday. Unusually cold out this morning, feels nice. Hasn't rained in 2 weeks. The last few days at camp haven't gone well. The white men have been withholding most of the food for themselves, it's becoming too hard for us West Indians. Robert died last Wednesday for trying to steal some food for his son. Poor man was whipped to death. Last Friday big freight derailed half way down the track, slid down the hill into camp adjacent ours. Rebeca's hut got slammed in, deaths in the hundreds. Most of the overseers aren't even recording it, and leaving their town's work for us.
Wednesday, wife's not doing well, she got a mosquito bite, high fever, probably malaria, the kids aren't taking it well. We asked the doctor to help, nothing we could do. Asked a local witchdoctor, trying some ballistic medicine. Jerry got in trouble for dropping a cart, no food for 2 days. The man won't make it that long.
Thursday, medicine not working, doctor says it made her worse, she won't be alive for much longer. Don't what i will do. Jerry begged the overseers to give him a week without food for enough to feed his kids, he was denied, and whipped. The man is losing his mind, told me he was plotting suicide if his kids don't make it.
at least 5 days since last entry. Lost track of days, Status : lost hope, Jerry has commit suicide, wife is dead, my kids are losing hope, i'm pretty sure i am too. Our camps running out of food, so they cut our food, i can't afford to feed myself, gave it all to my sons.
Day... The end. It's dark, I don't know what happened. Everyone outside is dead. Woke up from some screaming about a mud slide. I'm the only one alive in my camp, buried under mud, a broken arm and 2 broken legs. No hope for survival. Goodbye, world.

Twitter

The country of Hawaii was ruled by Queen Lili'oukalani from 1863 until 1893.  On the year 1893, her throne was overthrown in a passive takeover by a small group of Americans. The Queen gave up her thrown in order to avoid bloodshed, but protested in hopes to gain her country back. What would it be like if she had a Twitter account over the few days in which her country was overthrown?

The Americans threatened us with war today. I'm giving up my position in power to keep this country peaceful. I am in need of support for my protest against these savage actions.

Keep up hope! :) but the america's wont listen, our country is confirmed to be annexed into the united states. i got many letters considered we fight for our rights. please don't send these letters, I would rather lose our country rather than disrupt our peaceful society. good night everyone.

Yellow Journalism

"The Swine Flu Pandemic! What can YOU do?" Quoted from a newspaper article in April 2009. This classic piece of yellow journalism manifests like a man with a good hand in poker throws all his chips in on the second bet. "The Swine Flu Pandemic", anyone could tell you these words are absolutely ridiculously exaggerated. This article makes the swine flu look like the black plague, when the disease only killed about 11,000 people, and the black plague killed over 70,000,000! The article pertains to the Spanish-American war because it blows the story out of proportion in order to rally people of their country into a patriotic mood, one needed to win a war. How do you get support for the swine flu? you tell everyone it's much worse than it truly is, and wait for the concerned people to start following suit.

School of Americas

The article involving this topic is what i refer to as a bias load of one sided information. The article only mentions one side of what the school causes and adds no information on their goals, how often they are achieved, their justification for what they do, etc. So i looked at some other articles alike this and guess what i found? The same things again. I had to look through three pages to find an article that even mentioned what the School of America's aims to achieve! Now while i agree the country could find stronger ways to spend its tax dollars and the School of America's has many flaws, i believe they deserve a fighting chance and a mention of their side in these ridiculously bias articles. The School of America's is out to protect the US and citizens of other countries in dire need. The S.O.A. overthrows strong governments to avoid countries becoming too strong with insane dictators mistreating citizens of their country and possibly threatening the U.S. The S.O.A. is an organization to protect us from conflicts like the ones in Iraq, where we ended up losing over five thousand troops. Now that i have made my point about the aims and goals of the S.O.A. My reasoning for support on shutting them down is their goals are flawed. Sending people of a country to overthrow it with US military tactics is mainly used to resolve dictatorship problems in countries. The problem is giving foreign people military tactics to overthrow a government means they are strong enough to rule that government, which simply cycles the same problem, and we're forced to send another group to infiltrate the country in order to get that person out of power. The S.O.A. also carries with them another problem. After a leader is taken out of a country, how does its people react? Take for instance when president John F. Kennedy was assassinated. How did the US react? Thats right, the country became a yellow journalism filled chaotic mess. These are my reasons against the S.O.A. and their flaws acts of "service".
