Oh, Sweet Vengence....

I'm definately not into revenge. I think it's really immature. Why do something to someone after they did it to you? It doesn't make you a better person. It shouldn't make you feel better. I think it's wrong in any situation. Yeah, Hamlet's Uncle Claudius killed his brother, but why did Hamlet have to seek revenge. If he knew of his Uncle's treachery why not tell others? Everyone would have known of the king's tragic death and thought Claudius was nothing but a murderer. Killing someone is wrong, incase you were unaware. Even the most minuscule ideas of vengence bother me, like rumors. If someone spreads a rumor about you and you just have to retaliate by telling others something they trusted you with, or by means of some wild fabrication to tell just to make yourself feel superior. It's all dreadful no matter what situation it's revolved around. Revenge never ends. It's just a spiraling never ending cycle of deception, dishonesty and deciet. Hurting people shouldn't make you admire yourself. If you see nothing wrong with vengence... then there's something majorly flawed about you... I mean that in a grim manner. It's just immoral. Hamlet is just a vengeful heartrending play. WOO Shakespeare!!

2008 Election

I'm not 18, so I'm powerless to vote anyway, but I have been keeping up with the election a little. I'm for Obama. I really like how the state has decided to have all the schools have mock elections for Obama and McCain. My estimation is even though some of us are not able to vote it's still imperative for us to be aware, so when we are old enough to vote we know how we should go on about making our decision the "right way". If there even is a "right way" to vote. I don't know. This was an MIRACULOUS election to do this.
