    Mr. Brockhouse, I am very disappointed that you sold out to the "P/C" Winnies and voted to remove the statue at Travis park. Well lets not stop there. Why don't we remove the rest of the statues/monuments throughout the city (cause I'm sure someone out there finds them offensive and make San Antonio a dull neutral city with no history what so ever.

I feel that it is very important for all Marshallese citizens to have access to health benefits. When the United States signed the Compact of Free Association with the Marshall Islands and two other island nations in 1985, the US government agreed to provide financial and technical assistance in the field of health care. The Marshallese had their homeland, culture, and health sacrificed, so that the United States could conduct nuclear tests. The Marshallese are caught in an unjust system.…

    Have you ever wanted to go back in the past? I bet you’ve thought that at some point, but what I've realized is that it wouldn't really be worth it. Things haven't really changed, even since the Middle Ages. Certainly we have more technology now, different modern day countries, and the human race improved a bit. By a bit I mean, people still relate to each other and treat each other as they always have, even when they shouldn't, especially in the Middle Ages.…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…
