Nixon

Nixon was good for America because he was such a crooked person. He enlightened America by being so dirty and underhaned. He was so bad he was good for America. He single handedley changed America's perception of the president. By humanizing the position of the president he gave America the truth that people aren't perfect and even the president can be repremended for doing wrong so no one is above the law. People began to question the government which I believe it is a good thing to question your government because you can't always expect them to tell the truth, they need to be questioned. Also he was the one who loosened relations with nations that we were in the cold war with. So he brought the tension within that situation down.

Equal Rights Amendment

I don't think it should be changed because just because it isn't a law doesn't mean it doesn't exist. People clearly know that women have equal rights. We shouldn't have to adjust a piece of America's history just so people are satisfied that it's written down. So no I don't think we should change it.

Jackie Robinson

I believe Jackie Robinson is one of the most significant figures in the civil right movement but not the most significant figure in the civil rights movement. I beieve the people who did the grinding boring legal work were the most important civil rights. Jackie had more public work but where the real battles were fought in the courtrooms by the NAACP. That's my take on Jackie Robinson's involvement in the civil rights movement.

The both stared at each other right in the eyes
You couldn't bumble either of these guys
They both were on edge who would strike first
It seemed as if an eternity had passed mother earth
Next thing you know both men had turned to stone
And there ended the coldest war the world had ever known

Do you think bombing cities/civilians during wartime is a fair/justifiable act? Why or why not?

No I do not believe it is fair because in cities people should not be punished just for living in a country who's government wants to go to war but not necessarily the individual wants to go to war. People may be completely against a war yet they are still killed because they are nationality profiled. The after effect of bombing also destroys a country economy, increases poverty, and next to death the deformation of parts of the human body can be horrific. So it is in no way justifiable.

10 questions i might ask.
1. Was your diet a factor during the depression?
2. What was the worst thing that affected you personally?
3.Did you ever miss a meal?
4. Did you know anyone prospered during this time?
5. Did you ever see something of this magnitude ever happening to you?
6. Were you forced to ration your money?
7. Did anyone significant in your life die during this period?
8. Who do you know was the most effected by this?
9. Do you think it affected immigrants more?
10. How was the job market for you during this period of time?

I don't believe that civil liberties should be given up during a time of war because it undermine the rights that we are fighting for in times of war. Should they have to enforce loyalty? I think if they 100% want/need itthey would have to enforce because otherwise it would not happen.
