Should the driving law be changed?

Filed under: should the driving law be changed — peaceandlove at 2:03 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Right now, people are trying to decide if the law that you have to be atleast 16 to drive should be moved to age 18 or not. There are many car accidents involving young teens so there is a consideration to make the law a couple years older. I do not think that this law should be made. I think this becasue many kids that are 16 or 17 have jobs that they have to go to. If they dont have a ride then they wont be able to get to work and they wouldnt get paid. Also, if the law is changed kids might drive anyway just becasue they dont care, and then get arrested. Do you think its fair if the law is changed to age 18 in order to drive? Further more, there would probably be more problems then good things if this law is changed. I really hope that the law is not changed becasue i would like to drive as soon as possible!  Do you think it would be better for kids to start driving at age 16 or 18?

Think about things

Every day on the news we are hearing horrible stories about people losing loved ones, horrible accidents, murders, rapes, robberies and many more. When we hear these things we just say,”oh how horrible”, and then let it just go over our heads. But, have you every put yourself in those situtions? Imagine that a horrible thing like that happened to you. What would you do? How would that affect your life? If you got robbed badly or if one of your parents died, your whole life would be ruined. Many people dont realize how serious these situations are and that you have to be very careful in life so these things dont happen. I would always just read things in the newspaper or hear things on news and say thats so sad or thats horrible but then i put myself in that possition, and pictured my life if these things happened to me. Be more careful in life, and imagine your life in horrible situations. How would you feel?

1st public library

Filed under: 1st public library — peaceandlove at 8:20 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2007

In 1731, Benjamin Franklin opened the 1st US library in philadelphia. His library started to become known in about 1732, and by then that library company was getting many books. By 1741 the library also included books on history, geography, poetry, exploration and science. The succsess of his library made other librarys in America to open. Benjamin came up of this idea becasue he was a printer, a journalist, a scientist, and a librarian, so he put all of his ideas together and opened a library. If Benjamin Franklin had never opened this library in the first place we problaby wouldnt have a library. People wouldnt be able to go get books, or study, or even use a computer if they didnt have one. Furthor more, Theres many libraries in the world, and if he didnt open the first one we would have no libraries. Thanks to Benjamin Franklin, we have many wonderful libraries to go to every day if we wanted to.
