Four Things That Make America Great

Having the opportunity to travel to some of the world recently after being dismissed early in 2005 and decided to go to Iraq as a consultant. In Iraq I had the opportunity to travel to other Middle Eastern countries and many countries in Southeast Asia. During the trip, I try take the opportunity from time to time to observe and try to understand the cultures that surround me in places I visit. Thus I gained a different perspective on my own country and have come to a conclusion. There are four things that make the United States of America a great country.

The first two are an integral part of the First Amendment of our Constitution. The first is our right to freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment. I think most people in the freedom of expression U.S. means little more than you can say whatever they want without having to worry about being sent to jail, while it is something sincere and not a vision disturbances. However, this amendment has given us a press corps that is free to give us a detailed and accurate presentation of news events (in most cases). This is not the case in many countries around the world when governments take the liberty to edit the news does not own purposes.

The second thing is the separation of church and the state is also protected by our First Amendment. This was originally important to our founding fathers because of their religious processing the Church of England and motivated many early settlers to move into a great unknown "New World" to practice the religion they wanted. Separation of Church and State means the government is not entitled to any input whatsoever in the actions of any true religion. I believe this amendment has kept the problems emotional belonging, out of politics in our country (mostly) ... Many countries have "national" religions written in their constitutions and really do not know what to do with those who are not part of it and not deviate from the religion of nations feel excluded and out of touch. In many cases this leads violence of various types and sizes often hear on the news.

The great thing is our third Copyright / patent laws that have given people in the United States, with the possibility of the "American Dream", allowing inventive or creative people to develop their full potential by allowing them to profit out of their creativity. In many countries, copyright and patent laws are lacking or not taken seriously, giving people an incentive to put their creativity to work for themselves, it is not likely to be the benefits.

The fourth thing is not so much of our laws or the Constitution, but how our country born from a diverse collection of countries around the world, our ethnic diversity. When traveling around the world in places like Southeast Asia and the Middle East that is a very diverse group of people. In fact, segregation is a natural state in the world, well, it was more a natural state of traveling around the world more difficult and limited to a few brave souls. We have only traveled the world en masse during the last 100 years at most. Therefore, most of the world is ethnically diverse and the U.S. is great. What have you done for us? It has brought together a diverse group of people with different thoughts, ideas and skills and will, through of our copyright / patent law, to develop the technologies of science and medicine that we have access today. The copyright and patent laws have increased considerably to our standard of living in the U.S. as well as the living standards of people around the world.

These four things, while they have made our country great they also test us every day with people practicing their freedom of expression and causing friction in their communities. With politicians trying to push religion in the rolls of government (and vice versa). The laws of copyright and patents have significantly increased our cost of the things we buy every day. And our ethnic diversity is often under fire because of our tendency to inbreed the segregation often leads to violence due to extreme racism. But we must continue struggling to keep four things in our country strong because they have done so much good for us. In the upcoming election, the candidates views on these four things and vote accordingly. These issues are not usually discussed by the candidates, being overshadowed by more pressing issues like global warming and the war in Iraq, and therefore will not be easy to determine. However, it focuses on these issues will give you an idea of ​​whether the candidate has an understanding of how the U.S. have reached a high status that has the world and can continue to keep these things in our country strong.

Apples to Apples is the wild, award-winning card game that provides instant fun for 4 to 10 players. Open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. Everyone gets a chance to be the judge.

Apples to Apples is an award-winning party game that will have everyone laughing. We had a blast playing this game and think it is a perfect game for a "board game night" with friends and family. It is quick to set up, easy to learn, challenging, and a whole lot of fun. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } img.withlink {border:1px black solid;} ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.think { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; border-bottom: 1px dotted #000000; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; } td.glance { height: 100%; background: #9DC4D8; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; } The party box includes over a thousand cards for many card combinations.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Quick set up; inspires quick thinking and creativity; fun for whole family The Bad: Not as fun without at least five players; subject matter targeted for mid-teens and older In a Nutshell: Quick-paced board game requires just a minute to set up and will have everyone laughing for hours At a Glance Ages: 12 and up Requires: At least four players Smart, Award-Winning Fun Apples to Apples has won numerous awards including "Party Game of the Year" by Games magazine and "Mensa Select" by Mensa International. And for good reason: it involves quick thinking, humor, and strategy. For teens, the game teaches them to think about how different things can be compared to one another and how analogies are formed. One of our criticisms is that although the game states that it is designed for ages 12 and older, many of the subjects are clearly for older teens. Hilarious Comparisons and Analogies The name of the game is a play on the phrase "apples to oranges," and the game is about making comparisons between different things. General game play is as follows: players are dealt red cards which have a noun printed on them, and the judge (a different player in each turn) draws a green card on which an adjective is printed and places it for all players to see. Each player then chooses a red card they are holding that they think best describes the green card. The judge then decides which adjective she likes best. The fun is in the variety of unexpected comparisons people make, sometimes apt, funny, creative, or simply absurd. For example: people might match "Awkward" with "Oil Spills," "My First Kiss," "Dandruff," and "Gold Chains. " Or: "Painful" with "High School Reunions" and "Regis Philben. " Strategy comes into play since, because each player takes turns being the judge, you begin to pick up on the preferences of each player and tailor your choices accordingly. Players can also try variations on the basic game play. For example, instead of choosing the most apt comparison, players might try choosing the red card that is least like the green one. These variations keep the game fresh and interesting every time. Conversation Kick Starter Part of the fun is in standing up for your choices. For instance, you might discuss why you think "Regis Philben" is painful, or segue into a discussion of the embarrassing situations you got into on your first day of school, or your first kiss. Apples to Apples excels as an ice breaker and promotes a good amount of social interaction, as many conversations will be kick started thanks to these little cards. More Players, More Fun Although the box states that the game is playable with just four players, we found that the game is a lot more fun when there are at least five or six players. This increases both the frequency of funny answers and also requires players to refine their strategy a little more. Once we got going, hours passed, and it was only the lateness of the hour that reminded some of us that we had to go home. This Party Box set comes with more than 1,000 cards total, and will entertain for a long time. Additional expansion sets are available to further increase the variety of word combinations. What's in the Box 756 Red Apple Cards, 252 Green Apple Cards, card tray, quick play rules.

Description

Megan Nicolay revolutionized the T-shirt. She repurposed it, reinterpreted it, reinvented it—and created the #1 craft book in the nation, Generation T, which continues to dominate. Now she explores new ways to slash a tee, scrunch a tee, and sew a tee with Generation T: Beyond Fashion. A collection of 120 projects for every occasion, it takes the humble yet ever-malleable tee in dozens of new directions—from baby gifts to pet accessories, stuff for the home, the car, the road, the boyfriend. The rallying cry is: Don't buy; DIY. The result is hip, imaginative, crafty, and very green. There's a basic primer on techniques—knotting, sewing, braiding, lacing—plus a full tutorial on embellishing. And then an amazing range of projects. There’s fashion, of course: all-new halters and tank tops, sexy gaucho pants, a baby-doll dress, twisted shrug, and hooded scarf. But also baby gifts: Jumper for Joy, Baby Back Bib, Wild Thing Blankie. Home décor: plant hanger, wine cozy, toilet seat cover, ruffled apron, and Spastic Plastic (grocery tote). Grill mitts and bolo ties for the guys, doggie tee and stuffed cat toys, a steering wheel cover for the car, the Ants Go Marching (picnic blanket), and Beach Bum (beach caddy). Projects range from the simplest no-sew to intermediate, and all have easy-to-follow illustrated directions—plus, how to throw your own Tee Party. Time to get your craft on.
