Politics and Other Events Issue 3
THE DIFFERENCES OF PEOPLE
Everyone has different views. Different perspectives of things, different personalities. Different Political views, different looks, and so many more differences. We have seemed to accept these differences for thousands of years. At points there were either arguments, murders, and other tragedies. And there still are today. But, many people in the world are still not accepting people for who they are.
Slavery started in America in the 1600's, and spread throughout the world. It was a sick, terrible thing. The only reason for slavery was of people's skin. Just one trait seemed to make all of the difference.
Not until the 1860's this controversy was fixed. But then- we faced a greater issue- equal rights. Blacks were no longer in slavery, They were treated badly. Others treated them like a different species, like they weren't human. They were hopeless, beaten, and even killed. Then one corageous man took the stand and brought hope- Martin Luther King, Jr.
People everyday are being discriminated just because of being different. Every single day. We must all take the initiative and stick up, and show that it is okay to be different- with a different political view, different personality, different anything- wether it is a good or bad choice- gambling problems, mental issues, being smart- you are who you are, and that is you. Stand up for who you are. No matter what difference you have.

Politics and Other Events Issue 2
Recently,(aout 3 days ago while preparing for this issue), I viewed Invisible Children's newest 30 minute documentary on Kony titled "KONY 2012". It wasn't too long, and not too short. I thought it was the perfect length. Anyways, it was about Joseph Kony and the rise of his army, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
According to Russell, the foundation's founder and current owner, Kony has been kidnapping over 46,000 African children and been putting them into war. He has turned the little girls into sex slaves, and the boys into war. Russell also mentioned that he is doing this for no cause. Kony has been doing this sick-minded act for over 26 years. The problem is- he's changing tactics.
We all have remembered the terrible 9-11 attacks in New York, and the cause, and of course the effect. It was because of Al-Qaeda thinking of America as "bad people". The effect was a wake-up call to America. A wake up call saying that we can stick together in the toughest times, and we can pull through and leave the bad things behind, while still honoring the unfortunate and the heroes. But Kony has no cause. He is not "jealous" of other countries. And when, or 'if' he is taken out of power, what will the moral
, or the effect, be? What lesson will be learned?
Invisible people are expecting the US Government to take care of this situation. I believe that Invisible Children are not thinking the whole event through enough. They are looking at only the pros. If we take Kony out of power, will someone even worse take power of his previous position? Take Al-Qaeda for example. The moment Osama Bin Laden was killed, someone worse took his position. And what are the Invisible Children expecting? Are they trying to save the kids? How will it work when the kids are the troops? Can you imagine our troops, taking the innocent lives of kids forced to do this intolerable act just to take 1 man out of one position?
We've all heard the saying "one man makes all the difference." And it is true, in this scenario. One man has supposedly kidnapped and controlled 46,000 kids. One man has created a world-known scenario. One man- has caught attention of the world, and will be known forever, with the others who have made a good or bad difference: Gailelo, Thomas Edison, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Mother Teresa and many, many more.
Recently, Jason Russell, the founder, and current owner of Invisible Children Inc., got arrested. He was arrested for public nudity. He is in the hospital because of a supposed 'mental illness'. That goes to show that he might be crazy.
Is Kony really real? Is Osama Bin Laden really dead? Are what people of great interest say really true? For example, the US Government. They hide many things, and could lie for reasons. But one defender of the government could give a defending reason. When something true said is told to the government, they could say it is false to calm down the people. And tax is basically more money for the government. So could Invisible Children be doing this just for money? Wasting time with false propaganda?
Invisible Children only donate 31% of donations towards their 'cause'. If Russell is so dedicated to his cause, how come he is putting less than half of his time and money towards his 'charity'? Lots of people in his organisation are giving 100% of their time and money towards this, when Russell should be the the one doing it. 31%. That's less than half. Coincidence, right? Government's tax just for money? Could this just be for money? Could this really be happening, but he is just informing people and taking all of the money, while others actually donating for it, are really just giving Russell money? We might just never know.
So basically- could Invisible Children just be a charity to 'donate' indulgence to Russell?
We just may- or may never know.

Politics and Other Events Issue 1
Here is issue 1 of a new series called "Politics and Other Events". This issue is about the Utah Caucus I attended Thursday, March 15. They gave information at first. We did a prayer, and then the chairman introduced himself. He then put up positions for candidates.
First one was Chairman. The current chairman was nominated. That was it, So obviously he was chairman.
Then, the position for Vice Chairman was open. 3 or 4 people were nominated. It was interesting.
Then, they opened state delegate positions, and about 6 or 7 were nominated and 3 won.
Then was county delegates. 3 won.
That was basically it. It was very interesting.
