Entry #3) Okay, to start off, I don't understand the whole frenzy on censoring things. Yes, I know I'm a teenager, and don't see this from an adult view. But, swear words, just words. You could make "fork" a swear word if we wanted to. Most swear words if you look them up have some sort of meaning behind them. We all know what the official term for a female dog is. If parents don't want their children reading something, don't allow them to. You don't need to go to officials and ban it for EVERYONE. Now, not all censorism is bad. If we were to have pornography on local channels for all ages to see, that would be idiotic. But, words, they're only words, if you're offended, I honestly find you weak. If a word offends you, unless directly towards you as an insult, you really need to toughen up.

Entry #2) Personally, I think that the US government has, or think they have, way too much power of us as American Citizens. Yes, we are the most powerful country on the planet, but don't our bill of rights come into play...ever, with our government? Or are we just turning slowly into a totalitarian state? I'm not saying that the government, CIA, FBI, etc, shouldn't have any control over our lives, because then we would just have utter chaos. But, when it comes down to invading peoples' privacy, and watching what they do online, and over the phone, that's a little bit rediculous. Also, just because someone is from the middle east, or from another country for that matter, the US government, and its people, we auotmatically think that means they're terrorists. I think that America needs to loosen it's ideas on quite a few things, being, terrorism, censorism, or anything else. Not that terrorism is anything we should forget about, or think lowly of, or underestimat.  But we worry about too many things that don't need to be worried about. How about we work on things like world hunder, or aids, or the cancer foundation. We need to take a step back and realize what's more important sometimes.
