What Should News Sources Do

What news sources should focus on are the important issues of this nation and the facts behind the stories.  For instance, why in the world does the Union Tribune (San Diego) have a Tijuana section?  Tijuana is in Mexico!  Not the United States.  This action alone, in San Diego, has lead to the loss of a lot of faithful subscribers.  If the newspapers want to stay around, they need to start focusing on actual problems of this nation and report facts and hard evidence.  Does the Oregon newspaper have a Canada section?  Negative.  People who subscribe to the newspaper are getting extremely sick of the liberal bias and the unnecessary and unreliable stories and reporters.   

My Source of News

The majority of news that I receive is either through the newspaper or a news channel.  I do read a daily newspaper and have done so for the past few years.  I think naturally, people pay attention to stories that are of interest to them or where they live.  Myself personally, I pay attention to political news, global issues, anything related to war, and to what the new liberal minions are saying about the conservative right.  Therefore, depending on where my interests are being demonstrated, I follow world, national, and local news.

Why Should There Be An NRA Museum?

The NRA has been a major part of the U.S.A. ever since 1871.  It began as an organization that helped train out troops better after the Civil War.  Then the grounds were used for training our troops for WWII as well.  Throughout it's existence, the NRA has contributed to the sport of hunting, law-enforcement training, rifle clubs for universities and colleges, the Boy Scouts, and most importantly, defending the 2nd Amendment.  In this day and age, the NRA takes a lot of grief from the liberal media; which portrays them in an extremely negative light.  On the contrary, the NRA is just protecting the 2nd Amendment that is our civil and human right.  In addition, the NRA has done a lot of positive things which never get reported; due to the contradicting it would bring to the media.  Therefore, the museum needs to be established to show the public what the NRA truly is about.  

Museum Visit

The museum that I visited was the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  When you approach the museum you drive in a half-circle into a parking structure; where you park your car and catch an extremely smooth shuttle all the way up to the top of the hill, where the Getty is located.  As the shuttle takes you up the gorgeous, scenic hillside, you can look out the window and see the gorgeous L.A. landscape.  Once you are up to the top of the hill you exit the shuttle onto a gorgeous Greek-like architectural mansion.  The exit of the shuttle up the marble stairs passed fountains is very relaxing and gets you into the relaxing mood that one needs to be in order to enjoy a museum.  The museum has different buildings that have multiple wings inside that hold various exhibits.  The museum is set up with different wings that have topics of artifacts, paintings, readings, and furniture that are set up randomly.  There was not chronological order to any of the exhibits which made it all a little confusing.  To finish the museum experience, they drop you into a beautiful garden experience with a gorgeous fountain.  Overall, the museum was gorgeous but the lack of organization within the exhibit was very confusing.  

The Effect of An Apology

What effect would an apology have on this situation?  Absolutely nothing.  The time has come and gone and the Civil War and loss of more lives than in Vietnam, should have shone the world that we, as the United States, are sorry for our institution of slavery.  If the United States apologized for slavery, would the Chinese and the Japanese have to apologize to each other?  Would the ancestors of the Jewish Community want an apology from Egypt?  Would we have to apologize to Africa as well?  The idea of an apology only makes the matter deeper and much more unnecessary in this time period.  In addition, the truly sad and disgusting part about the idea of an apology for slavery, made by the radical lefts such as Jesse and Al, is the fact that they don't even care about the apology.  In fact, their agenda is not to push for reprimands and an apology; but to force this topic and issue so much for the purpose of being able to play the race card once again and show the world how bad "whitey" was and continues to be.    

Apology Topic

My incident in question that "involves" an apology is the topic of slavery.  In this current day and age, all of the radical left African Americans, such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, all are still highly involved in the topic of slavery.  How are they involved?  They are insisting that the United States apologizes for instituting slavery.  Why?  Just another way for the liberals to feed their agenda and pull the race card out once again.  Were the hundreds of thousands of lives lost during the Civil War not enough for our wrong doing?  Was the battle at Gettysburg, still to this the day the highest causality battle fought on U.S. soil, not enough to reprimand our wrong doing?  According to the radical left, it is not.  The comical issue about this argument is the general public never hears about a large portion of the "slaves" that were treated as if they were part of the family.  The slaves ate at the same table, were educated in reading and writing, had free time, had a salary, and respected their "owners" immensely.  Don't believe me?  This issue will be covered in my paper and I will use examples of famous Americans, such as a few of our Founding Fathers, to dispute the radical left's agenda of saying that all the slaves were treated terribly.  I am very excited for this paper and cannot wait to start researching the topic more.        

Music and Critical Thinking

In the area of Music, critical thinking comes into play a majority of the time.  When it comes to Music Theory, one must be able to analysis the chord structure and relation between the notes before being able to understand what is happening throughout the piece.  Being able to understand what is happening in the piece is extremely important because it relates to how the performer is going to perform the piece.  In addition, when it comes to individual instruction, the whole hour is critical thinking.  Of the course of the hour long lesson, the instructor breaks down every technical passage and makes you think of what every limb, muscle, and bone is doing during that passage.  Critically thinking about the basic movements exhausts your brain and really trains you to mentally focus.
