paper done

[amalthia]

I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, but I finished my paper and it's turned in. Now I just have to study for finals and I'm done with this semester.

I guess it's pretty obvious by now to anyone reading this that there may not be very many deep thoughts going on in this journal. Sometimes I have moments where I think of something important and then I get distracted with something else.

i'm a criminal justice major and I plan on becoming a police officer if possible when I graduate and just by taking these classes I'm losing my faith that the United States is a free country. Before this semester I never really gave it much thought, I really did just assume we had the freedom to live our lives without the government interfering. I thought that maybe the United States was the best country to live in, hell we have a ton of songs praising our "freedoms" but the more I learn the more scared I'm becoming of my own government. I think the Lone Gunmen were onto something when they talked about government conspiracies. I'm sort of the opinion that if you can't beat them join them. (referring to the US government.)

As it should be! But you aren't to fear them really, more like scrutinize everything they do. Esp with Bush as our president.

Never submit!

yeah Bush is a complete moran as far as I'm concerned, but sadly I don't know if Gore would have done any better. I hate that our choice of president gets narrowed down to 2 or 3 choices, and the third parties with excption to the green party, seem like they are on some Baptist agenda.

*nods* all to true. But hey but who said Democracy was fair anyway?

well I don't mind that it's not fair, but what irks me is that the government lets people believe they are free when in reality I don't think we are. One of my friend's spent a year in Spain and she said it felt like the government didn't intrude on her life as much as the US government does at home. I'm not what type of encounters she had with the government. :) but I'll take her word on it. :)
