Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: In the morning on my way to school I had no idea as to what was happening. When I arrived in my first period agriculture class the TV was on. Clips of the plane crashing played over and over. I couldn't even comprehend what was happening. A girl in my class began to cry, and so did my teacher. He seemed to not believe how cruel the human heart could be as to do something like this. I sat there stunned, this is America? Aren't we safe? Nothing like this is supposed to happen in America, I have lived here my entire life. This is not the America I know. I later discovered that America hate groups existed. I was disgusted at seeing five year olds saying how they hated America. They didn't even know what they were talking about! They are like that because that is what their parents tell them to believe! Why do they think we should die? Is it because we believe in freedom and rights, something they have never known? I soon became inferiated, I kept thinking about those people who hated Americans. Don't they know what we stand for? "That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights"(Declaration of Independence). After a while I began to not care, if they don't believe in freedom and liberty for all then they are surely gullible. If so they can never dictate anything. They will certainly meet their consequences with God. If they think they are fullfilling God's will then someone should send them a Bible. Why should I worry about giving them a physical punishment? They will get what they deserve, I rest it in the hands of God. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
