James Bond Good for the World Bad For Our Children?

A little boys dream: to be James Bond. With the new James Bond Movie set to release, it got me thinking how when I was little I wanted to be James Bond. But also, it made me think that I would have been invincible if I were in the military. Obviously you grow up and realize that you are not invincible. Still, it seems that the Bond movies still send out a false reality about war. For one, have you ever seen Bond scared about going in to a battle? No, of course not it would take away from the movies, but maybe kids see this and think oh look how easy it is to kill someone, or, look he is not afraid of war then I could go to war and it will not be scary. Do not get me wrong the movies are very entertaining, but I would not let my kid see James Bond until he understood this movie is not a reality. I think that the filmmakers should understand this and maybe add a little bit of reality to the film series. Do you agree? I am interested to hears some responses.

Mccain's New Campaign Tone

As Mccain has fallen farther back in the polls while using his negative ads, he has been forced to look at his strategy. Because of this on Friday, Mccain was shooting down his supporters who were saying that Obama was unpatriotic and a terrorist sympathizer. He is trying to make himself look like the nice guy so if he is attacked by Obama he makes himself look like the victim. If this does not work then he might be done. But, if he begins to gain in the polls he will start taking the high road like Obama says he does.

Words of Politics

Have you seen one of the latest Dan Seals for congress commercial? It starts by Mark Kirk, his opponent, saying that George Bush is a decisive President. Then Seals goes on to say everything that Bush has done wrong. But, Bush has been a decisive President because decisive means characterized by or displaying no or little hesitation; resolute; determined. This definition shows that Bush is decisive. He might have been decisive, and made rash decisions that hurt the country. But, that is what makes Bush decisive. He was decisive in entering the Iraq war because what he decided was final. He was also determined to go to Iraq as Mr. Bolos and Mr. O'Connor said in class " he had plans to go to Iraq when he first became President."
