Hey

I officially love my English class. It's the best one I've ever, ever had, minus Ms. Fitz's class because I never really appreciated her the way I should have.

My teacher is so awesome. We have the best discussions, and he never puts anyone's ideas down - just tries to make whoever is speaking think harder and more critically without seeming to take sides, although we all know he's probably the most liberal person in the entire school building, not including Nick and Alex who are communists.

Anyway. Does anyone else think we should be spending more time thinking about the freaking economy and the war than about whether or not John Kerry was under fire when he saved that guy in Vietnam?

Sorry. I'm becoming rather politically opinionated.

I know! Besides the lives that are being put on the line every second of every day for yet another stupid war, we have to waste so much breath arguing over such crap like that . . . And the sad part is, people will probably support Bush simply because they become convinced that Kerry really wasn't under enemy fire!

Grrr.

But thanks for that quote - as part of my english homework tonight, I was supposed to find a quote about war . . . And man, you came right in the nick of time! ^_-

Hah, that was lucky! That was a quote I saw in the Flanders Fields Museum in Belgium. Or at least I think it was Belgium. Anyway, the whole museum is in French, German and English, so it gave me a headache to read all of the quotes and stories on the walls. But this one really stood out, so I copied down on the back of my hand.
