Fort Massacure
I am against the government not persoing the threat to Fort Hood. They should have jumped on the situation at first suspicion. Also they should have at least put some extra guard at the fort. Also they would have been able to make contact with major Al-Queda leader, because Anwar Al-Awlak had links to Al-Queda.
The main reason, I am against what the FBI did was that it could have easily been prevented, and many lives saved. Around a week before the massacre they knew it could have happened. The FBI claimed they did not have enough prof to act. I think if it involves Al-Queda action should be taken into full concern. So lives can be saved
Also if the y had stopped it before it happened they could have gotten important information they could have saved lives by preventing other acts.
What if we went after the given information and they were not with who was planning the massacre? That would be better to be safe then sorry and we could have had some allies that was dangerous.
Precautions are better to be used then never used at all. Lives could have been saved if only the FBI took action against the threat. I am angry about how the situation took place because no one took action until several lives were lost.

Bombs or no Bombs?
I am against the removing of out Nuclear Missiles from Germany. This could put our nations safety at risk. This could also put our nations foreign relations at risk. Do we want to lose our freedom for something that could be easily worked out.
Our nation could be at risk of nuclear attack. Removing all warheads could cause Germany to build there own warheads in the same places and use them against us. Other US enemies could also build warheads that could be used against us. This will also put at risk of getting hit in other ways as well. Because we would have no way to threaten them and they would attack us.
Removing our weapons could also put our foreign relations at risk. This would occur because our allies would not feel as safe. This would make our allies, who do not have nuclear weapons, feal less at ease knowing they do not have protection.
What about relations with Germany? Well, they threatened to shoot us if we do not move them, so what would happen if we did not have weapons to put them at ease.
In my eyes the extra protection in Germany is a good think because it keeps and lets people know that we do not want to fight.

A Whole New Mind
I just read A Whole New Mind by Danielle H. Pink. Pink explains what Empathy is. He explains the Empathy is putting your self in someone else's shoes. Putting yourself in someone else's position and realize how they feel.
Some people say I am not very nice, and some people say I am a good person to talk to when they have problems. I wanted to see what one I was more like.
Pink discussed many other elements that are important in our life. This chapter just caught my attention more than any of the others. I took the EQ quiz that Pink suggested in the portfolio in the end of the chapter. From the quiz it showed that I am empathetic. You can see my score, and you could talk the quiz at http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/SystemizingQuotient/SystemizingQuotient.aspx.
Your score: 43
0 - 19 = low
20 - 39 = average (most women score about 24 and most men score about 30)
40 - 50 = above average (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score in this range)
51 - 80 is very high (three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score in this range)
80 is maximum
Please specify your gender.

Reflexion of Sophmore year
This has been one of the best years of my life! I made a lot of new friends. I met a lot of new teachers. I have had more homework this year than I ever had before, but I did not mind. I have just taken the hardest class I have ever taken, Pre-Ap Chemistry. I loved Key Club and Beta club.
I would like to thank all my teachers, especially Mr. Russell. He helped me threw Pre-Ap Chemistry. Without him being such a nice man I would have failed. Also thank you Mrs. Gillmore. For working with me this year, threw all my computer problems. I also look forward to being on yearbook staff next year. Also, thanks alot Coach Armstrong you are a great teacher and I loved your class. I also loved Desktop Publishing. That was one of the most fun classes I have ever had. You made the class fun Mrs. Crossett do not change anything. I really would like to thank Mr. Williams. He gave me the most fun and exiting oppertunity I have ever been in. I felt great being apart of somthing big, and I would love to be your sound man again next year. Mr. Goodwins class was the most interesting History class I have ever had. Mr. Robertson, thanks for all the help this you. If you were not such a good teacher and a nice person I would have failed. I would like to have you again next year. Thanks again to all my teachers.
I will never forget this year. I felt right at home when I first got to the high school. Again I have had a great year. Everyone have a fun and safe summer.

Of MIce and Men Review
Keep yourself out of trouble! That was the main saying George to Lennie threw out John Steinbeck's OF Mice and Men. This story takes place in the state of California during the dust bowl age. George and Lennie are cousins. They travel together from work camp to work camp. They are broke. Lennie has some minor mental problems. The two have been talking about getting a farm with animals on it. Lennie likes animals. He carried mice in his pockets but they kept dieing. Having killed many small animals, George would not let Lennie have a pet.
Later on, after a friend they made gave Lennie a puppy he accidentally petted it to rough. That play an important role later on. Lennie is a rough but really nice guy. This book has a surprising ending. You leave yourself thinking, I now understand.
This is a pretty good book. Very boring in the start. However once you get to the middle the story starts coming together. I recommend this book to anyone. You will understand the bad language once you get to chapter two. Enjoy your reading.
