The reason that I'm emailing this directly
to you is that all my mail is down right
now. I wanted to get this done and I have
already posted section C stuff but it did
not post it so here I am doing it again.

To me our world seems to have a lot of
conflict in it right now with the bombing in
the embassy, and the Pentagon. Also
with our problems with Osam Bin Laden
and terristic behavior. There seems to be
a lot more conflict than order going on
right now in the world as a whole right
now. I view our stereotyping of people of
who are different than us, if that be sexual
oriented or race, religion or values that we
have. We have all judged someone
before we got to know them if it was when
we were to young to know better or if
some still do it to this day. If that be the
KKK, gays, have a disability, homeless or
them being of a different ethnicity all
together.

But then as a Country I think there is
more order with us wanting to help one
another regardless of race, religion,
gender with what has just devastated our
great nation in our homeland. We have
people donating money for funerals,
building of new homes, time donating,
clothes and food. It seems as if us
Americans are doing everything we
possibly can for those who lost love ones.
We seem to be overlooking the prejudice
and helping if they were black/white most
of all "they were Americans that were
innocent" and that comes first.

Violence seems to be on the rise
through out the U.S. Prices seem to be
on the rise so that makes people finding
them more appealing, or needed. Like in
the poor neighborhoods people have to
steal to survive. Violence was needed to
give birth to the United States. It was
used to defeat the Native Americans and
keep them on reservations, free the
blacks and for many groups to achieve
equality here in the U.S.
