Getting cold

Frozen Spider Web!

The land of opportunity

We all complain about this country once in a while but this is still the best country to live in. This gives country gives a poor person the most opportunity to rise up. If you study hard and work hard, you can rise from poverty. If you are in China, all the studying and working hard may still leave you in the lower end of the economic scale.

Unless you are a old guy....like me.

For a young person, education is easily gained here.

I've been reading study guides on SAT. My brain just can't seem to retain the information. I can't seem to motivate myself in the van to read these mundane texts. I end up just watching DVD's. I was parked in Chinatown one day and noticed I studied alittle more.

Not only am i fighting cold and physical weariness but my true problem is my mental health. It is really hard to read when your mentally depressed. I've noticed if I park my car in Chinatown or bring out the book at the laundry mat, I actually would read it.

Anyways, having a hard time here trying to prepare for the Compass test.

Oh yea about aiding your brother

So, the debate came up, If your family member just committed a major crime, would you aid him in to get away?

For me, the answer is an unwavering YES!

I'm his brother or father or Uncle...whatever, my job is to support and love my family members. I'm not the police. Its the police's job to catch him.

There is one factor that would make me turn him in. If i'm pretty sure, if my brother was loose, he would commit the crime again.

I'm not condoning killing. I'm 100% against any man killing another man. But that is a "action". Once that happens he is still my brother. If I turn him in, I've just killed my brother. He would be sent to prison or executed.

We all have roles to play. My role as a family member is to love another family member. Unconditionally.

Suppose my brother is very anti abortion. He bombs a clinic and kills someone. I maybe horrified and my personal views on abortion are different from his. His action is wrong. But he is still my brother. He killed a man. But i'm not about to kill my own brother for his evil act.

Would you aid your brother who just killed someone?

On Halloween night, A gunman pulled up next to a squad car and opened fired on 2 police officers. One of them died.

A month later, last Sunday, a man walks into a coffee shop and shoots dead 4 police officers. One of the officers was able to shoot the suspect in the stomach. Last night, after the most frenzied man hunt I've ever seen, the suspect was found by a stolen vehicle and shot dead by a lone police officer.

A few things I found amazing:

The suspect with a stomach gun shot wound was able to evade the police for 2 days.

The 2 coffee baristas working, immediately ran out of the coffee shop. When they looked back, they saw one of the officers struggling with the assaliant. The 2 baristas then jumped into their car and drove off! They drove off accross the street and asked a man to use his cell phone to call 911.

Are you kidding me? There are plenty of stores and people around that strip mall! They had to jump into their car to call for help? What abou alerting the people in the stores right next to them?

The police were able to quickly identify who they were looking for after 6 hours. The suspect was able to somehow get to seattle. The police surrounded a house in seattle. They are 100% he was in the house. They even had visual. Some how he excaped that house!

So he is on the loose. Somehow, he was spotted getting on a bus to UW. This black man's face has a big mole. He is very identifiable. He is also only 5'7". You telling me, he was able to get on a bus and exit a bus bleeding and all?

The police found allot of blood at a park. Surrounded the park and did not find him

They searched other buildings from tips and did not find him.

At 2:45 am. A lone officer saw a parked running vehicle. Determined it was stolen. Then he saw the suspect walking up and shot him.

This guy really had a lucky time eluding the police. Remember, his was a guy shot in the stomach bleeding to death.
