Academic Goals

My academic goal for this semester is to come to school everyday on time. I want to improve my being here because last semester i was not here because of medical issues. I'm going to wake up early and leave my house at 7:30 to be on time. Even if I don't have time to get ready afer taking a shower i will leave at 7:30. My personal goal is to walk everyday for 30 minutes. I will do this by getting home, change my clothes and go straight to the park. Last term i did not complete my goals because i had medical problems

Vietnam Moratorium

1) What further questions/comments do you have about this historic event?

To me this historic event is repeating itself with Afghanistan and Iraq. The U.S. had went into Vietnam to "save" the Vietnam people. Vietnam was a communism country but that all changed when the war with the U.S. changed everything. The U.S. were seeing countries become communism and they didn't want communism they want capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations. The U.S. want to stay number one and these are my comments on the Vietnam Moratorium.

2) One African American veteran said of his experience in Vietnam, "Why should i come over here when some of the South Vietnamese live better than my own people back in the States". What do you think he meant by this?

To me he meant that the colored people should not go to Vietnam and fight other colored people. He also meant why should he fight in this war when the Vietnam people get treated better than his own people back home. These people have done nothing to him or anyone else fighting this war. This was not his fight it was the white mans war and they had no business in Vietnam. He also meant he should be back home fighting the people he was working for, so his people would have a better life and stop being treated wrong.

3) What issues do you believe should be marched for today (perhaps similar issues that were marched for in 1970)?

Things that should be marched for today is the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I say this because the U.S. are still sending Mexican American and African Americans to the front lines. The U.S. has no business over there and the only reason they are retaliating is because we went over there first trying to change things. I also think we should march for communism so everybody gets equal.

4) BONUS: For the girls who attended the forum, please reflect on your experience. What did you think of the speakers and/or film? What further questions do you have? What feelings did you leave with?

The film was very interesting because it showed me how that day was. It was a friendly march until the L.A.P.D went into a big crown and started hitting people and throwing tear gas into a crowd with men, woman, and children. It was sad that they had to slip through holes in the fence to avoid getting trampled on. This act was very unfair and inhumane. I have to questions

Do you believe that animals can predict disasters?

There are many arguments that suggest that animals hearing disasters is foolish. On the other hand there are many who say that animals can predict disasters. The people who say animals can predict disasters have run various test on animals, specifically elephants. There is a test where an elephant is placed on a platform that vibrates. They had did very low vibrations, vibrations that even humans could not feel. They would know the elephant felt the vibration by training the elephant to touch the right pole if the elephant was eighty percent right.

Another way they know that animals can sense disasters is because of the Tsunami on December 26th. Elephants in Thailand were wailing wildly and running for higher grounds, herds of antelope in India stampeding to get away from the shoreline as fast as possible; flamingos who were mating stopped and fled the Indian coast.

The third way that some animals can predict natural disasters is that they "hear" infrasound. Infrasound are sounds produced by natural phenomena, which can be earthquakes, volcanoes, and storms, that the human ear can not hear. Infrasound gives some animals a chance to flee before a natural disaster happens. The facts that are in this article indicates that I do believe that animals can predict naturl disasters.
