Global Warming: Fact or Opinion? If you were to leave your front door open in the winter time‚ would you heat up the outdoors? Or perhaps someone told you that a cow ’s fart increases the annual temperature.

Martin Gottfried’s portrayal of American drivers in "Rambos of the Road" is only partially accurate (Gottfried‚ 2005‚ p.474-476). I have had experiences with both considerate motorists as well as aggressive motorists. This article looks at the angry drivers without even considering the more passive ones. In Gottfried’s conclusion he states‚ "It seems to me that it is a new America we see on the road now. It has the mentality of a hoodlum and the backbone of a coward" (Gottfried‚ 2005‚ p.476). Though

My vision for America is that I could see peace for this wonderful country‚ and great minds‚ and the future for mankind.

We would lose our families and misunderstand how this path we still take will affect us. So basically what I am trying to say is that mankind needs to change its path and make a new one. We need to start over again so we

The Boston Massacre‚ the said “start” of the revolution. What really happened? We know 5 died‚ 2 injured‚ and 2 mortally injured. And even before the Massacre‚ there was a fight between a colonist ropemaker and a solder. What we don’t know‚ is who shot first? Did the Captain order fire? According to a Theodore Bliss‚ “I did not hear any Order given by the Captain to fire”. This is a debated theory.
