well i was reading this article on Aol News and it said that all the subways and bus stations in New York were closed because they were on Strike. They were on strike becayse they felt that they were underapreciated. This caused 7 million people to have to find new ways to get to work.
Do you think that their strike was for a good enough reason to put 7 million people in chaos?


p.s. Mr. Jacobs how come i have a zero for my 11/28 discussion board. I do my discussion board every week so can you look into that?

Why Discussion Boards?

I am very angry at the fact that our entire class has to partake in these ridiculous discussion on the Internet when there is something more constructive we can be doing with out time like eating or sleeping. These discussions have absolutely nothing to do with the class. I took the class so I could receive college credit if I passed the AP exam which I probably won't because I will be too business trying to do discussion boards. It is our duty as the next generation of the United States of America to stand up for what we believe in and strike down what we don't. This is a government class and like Mr. Jacobs has said many times before the people have the right to revolution. It is time we all stand together as a class and practice our rights. This will be the last day I will slave away in front of a computer to try to talk about what is on the news. We as a class can gear the creative energy used to lie on this discussion board toward trying to pass the AP exam. This is a perfect opportunity to start to work our power as members of this society. If you won't stand up to this little injustice how will you ever stand up and make a difference in our nation. Here is a quote to live by, "If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything,"~Somebody. Classmates I want to hear your honest opinions so reply to this comment.
