Is it our business? Really?




This assignment is to write about our opinions on the US' role in the world. Are we some sort of benefactor or policeperson? When do we intervene and how do we do so?

Do people usually like other people to be in our business? Of course not, that is why people get in so many fights about rumors being spread and others knowing something very private about them.
The US is a very powerful country with many resources others don't. But when does lending a helping hand become too much? Has America become a nazi in other countries?
In my opinion our lending hand has become a blessing to others and for others its become medaling. I feel like we use our help for good causes but when we stick our nose into something that is clearly not our business it could be a suggestive action just to get America's name out there and letting others know how 'powerful' we are.
I feel as though we are both a benefactor and policeperson. It seems when other countries across the ocean get out of control we feel the need to be the policeman and rescue you them for two reasons, our power being known and our fear of it getting worse. Most people want world peace and when things get out of control or chaotic we freak out.
But to also point out we've sent money, people, resources, food, and our country for poverty stricken and desperate countries. When other countries are fighting with each other that is when we shouldn't stick our noses into it. But if a country is desperate and needs a helping hand out of their crisis we should do so. for peace and another greedy and power hungry reason.
In other words, we should learn what's acceptable and not and when to stop medaling and helping when help isn't needed. We are all neighbors right? Shouldn't we give the right amount of sugar or milk?

barder the flying dog





When Jake first discovered the orange turban by a gutter one day he knew right away that it was special. and indeed the second he put it on his feet started to elevate from his bedroom floor.
Since then Jake loved going on midnight adventures with barder his 8 year old german shepard.
They would start at 10 pm everynight and fly for miles. sometimes they would pick up chinese food in china or tea in england if it was chilly. nothing ever went wrong it was always smooth sailing into another world. one night jake decided they should go to Poland. As always barded started running through the neighborhood and then one at a time each paw lifted off the gravel. One hour later Jake decided this would be a great place to stop he didnt know it but his turban was very loose and moving all over his head so barder lost his control and didnt have enough balance or power to land.
jake and barder layed there in peferct position lifeless until the sunrise, when an onlooker took a pictures of the unusual scene.

The man in a red ralph lauren jacket.
His childhood was filled with country club lavish parties with father and mother. Who were particularly popular with the other rich folk in their town Hartford Connecticut. His name is Benjamin Wilflock, his middle name Bartholomule, his friends called him bart for short. Benjamin's father was a lawyer for the biggest firm in town, and needless to say, they had money. Their house was 15,000 sq. ft "but it could be bigger in the tea room" Martha, his mother would complain to her stuck up pearl wearing perfect curled hair friends. On the outside benjamin and his clean cut ralph lauren wearing parents looked perfect. Perfect lawn, perfect house, perfect china in the dining room. On the inside it always looked like a home and garden magazine. But on the inside Benjamin witnessed more than the monsters in his closet. His father had a temper, no not a temper, a real big temper. He would abuse poor complaining Martha until she was black and blue. And that is why benjamin is cheating on his wife of 22 years with his boss's young 18 year old troubled...Son.
Benjamin has been seeing Vernin or Peter, which ever you perfect for a year now. Benjamin has been fulfilling Vernin's/Peter's burning flame for months. this satisfying relationship had to end soon though. Benjamin knew it had to. People were catching on to vernin's/peter's vistis to his office for hours. but the boy would go crazy and through fits when benjamin ever brought up the slightest idea, that this wasn't a good idea. his tragic love affair is ending. Benjamin had to ride the subway to his house instead of driving, just in case someone saw his car parked in the driveway. More lines were being permanently creased on his forehead as he began to get more and more paranoid someone would catch on. Back to Benjamin's journey home he goes through a turnstile with haste running to get home, he was late. As he looked up a picture was taken of him. A Spy Martha the 2nd hired to find out why he's been late for a year now. She might be surprised another woman thats distracting her chubby grey haired husband. Will she ever find out?
