American Republicans

Today in class we watched a documentary about republicans in the southern states in the US . It was made during John McCain's campaign and the election in 2009. We were shocked over how upset people can be when their favorite candidate don't win. Rednecks were crying in front of the camera when President Obama won the election. Old men explained how they only saw the number 666 when they saw Obama, and how they thought he is a terrorist. Someone even compared him to Hitler, and how America was going down now that Obama is president. They truly believed that he would do the exactly same thing as Hitler did. I can not understand how people can claim something like that. They just appear to be really stupid people without any knowledge about our world history!

Senior Project

In my English class we are now starting our senior project. On Tuesday we had to decide on our project. Mrs. Michaelsen told me that it would be smart to chose a current topic, so I chose to write about the climate. I will compare how America and Norway as a country, work to decrease the polluting gasses and other ways to prevent our planet to get in big problems later. I will focus on two agencies, Environment Protection Agency and Miljøvernforbundet, which are agencies working for a better environment in each of the countries. I think the environment is a very important to take care of, so that will make the project interesting for me to write.

American Health System

The American health system is a new form that will try to not "squeeze" the people. The way it is now, both the doctors and the insurance companies are trying to get the most money out of the people. The American Government think that the insurance companies have most of the blame. My information tells me that the changes will be mostly on the insurance companies, universal coverage, no restriction, lower costs, and exchanges, will be the main changes.
