around thinking about every little thing that could go wrong. To live our lives to the fullest‚ we must first get rid of that fear. Worrying solves absolutely nothing.

“Is it Really a Time to Kill?” Alvanti Smith PHI: 107 Victor Reppert September 14‚ 2009 To sentence someone to death for a crime is not justice. It is state sanctioned killing.

False Times Frederick Douglass once said “ America is false to the past‚ false to the present‚ and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.” In my opinion I feel that Douglass is saying that America only chooses to accept the glorious past‚ ignores the mistakes made both in the past and present‚ and thus chooses to work toward the future with the same blinders it has used to understand the past.
