Is Intervention The Answer
I believe that countries like the US shoud get involved intervention realated to other countries that are at risk of genocide. I believe this because thousands of peoples lifes are at risk because no one is willing to stand up and fight for the little guy. I think of it like bullying. People always say its bad and that if it happend to tell someone that is able to stop it. So why not applie it in this case? The minorities that are at risk have basicly nothing compared to all the lucuries we have. I defenetly do not want to see another Halacouse of another Rape of Nanking happening in my life time or my kids life time. I rather take action now and prevent and protect those that are in danger of it.

Evolution vs Religion Teachings
In my opinion neither evolution nor religion should be thought in the public schools. I belive that it may offende students that belive in evolution or that practice other religions. I personally do not believe in evolution, so that is why I think it should not be thought. It should be up to the student whether or not they want to learn about evolution. There are some students that do not belive in religion. So those students should be the ones taking a evolution class if they want to. Also, if any of the students feels offended by the evolutionary teachings in a school they might be able to sue the schools under "Racism". Even if the teacher did not mean to offende anyone, sometimes there could be a miss understanding.
Prohibition and Roaring 20's
Prohibition
Practice Religion, that's what were throught
Over practice religion

Betraide there Holly Loard

Inresponsible

No sins are allowed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roaring Twenties
Rebels
Out
All day and night
Reveling more than what they should
Interacting and enjoing life
Nineteenth amendment not so
Great
Talking about alcohole being bad for you everything ends up
Worst
Everyone out and about
Not caring where the boos is coming from
Taking the risk either way
Ignoring all the laws many
End up in jail
Serving many years for a couple of bucks
