haitian devastation
Why is the devastation especially bad in Haiti as opposed to a similar sized earthquake that hit California in 2003 (San Simeon) but only caused 2 deaths and 40 injuries? (By the way the 2 deaths came from people who were in “unreinforced concrete buildings”)? Let me know what you think in comments below.

]]>Today starts a 2 day project in which you will need to be sharp and focussed. By the end of the hour tomorrow, each of you should have created a nice piece for our class presentation on the 27 amendments to our Constitution. With any luck, each of the 4 history classes should have a picture illustrated podcast of all 27 amendments. I will have each of you draw a number (1-27) from a basket to find out which amendment you will be reporting on. Click the link below, read the directions & quietly get started:
Hmm.....

Even though John Locke wrote that natural rights included “Life, Liberty, and Property,” the writers of our declaration of independence left out the word Property, saying that all men deserved “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Why do you think they did this?
