Are You Proud or Ashamed of the Human Race?
As if it is not bad enough to be kidnapped by aliens. But to be asked if “you are proud or ashamed of the human race” at gunpoint, in the middle of the night, before you could brush your teeth, and before you had your morning coffee! But as I sat there in the cold, dark room with only my teletubbie bear. All I could reminisce on was the last spoken words of the aliens… “Are you proud of the human race?” There are pros and cons, when you thoroughly think about the question. I am honestly proud of how far we have come. The many milestones from where I believe we started from Adam and Eve, pharaoh’s, Shakespeare to Gandhi and even our current president.

And it’s phenomenal… the median for a single mother household is 26,000 while the median for married couples is 84,000 that’s almost FOUR TIMES the income of a single mother household. So I ask again, what should I be proud of? Knowing that with these numbers I would be turning on my American people, shaming them with the little research that I have acquired. Saying publically that I am beyond disbelief of the numbers. After stumbling upon the fact that 37,680,000,000 approximately has been distributed overseas in 2012 for “foreign aid” I was …show more content…
