Pranked!
Ahh, April Fool's Day... A time for us to get clever with our devious side and freak some people out. Whatever you end up doing to just remember there is a difference between fun and cruelty. April fool's pranks are supposed to end in laughter not someone seeking revenge. For example, putting mustard in someone's shampoo bottle is funny. Putting a fake spider in someone's refrigerator is also funny, just make sure they are not deathly afraid of spiders, you don't want them to go into cardiac arrest. Letting the air out of someone's tire(s) is cruel, inconvenient and not funny at all. They will obviously be late to something and may have to call a tow truck which will cost them $$$. Putting a mouse trap in their mailbox is also cruel. Pranks aren't supposed to be painful. So put on your thinking cap before you make or break someone's day.

Stephen's Challenge.
My sentiment is shared with countless others when I declare how shameful it is that some cultures still embrace the curtailment of civil liberties upon those who they supposedly govern and protect. I don't see the value at all in this type of practice. Yes, every culture needs rules and regulations for its people to follow. This is rightly just. It's when the rules and regulations become inhumane and downright wrong that we truly see the motivation of that government. It forces people of such cultures to become rebels. They risk their own lives to speak out against the tyrannical hold of their government's regime. The hierarchy are not bound by these rules. They commit any unjust crime they want and get away with it. How can this be a fair practice? Well, the concept of fairness does not exist in such places. It's primitive to say the least. While some countries realized this ages ago, others continue with their archaic practices. How can this ever be changed? The sad truth is that this change may have to be a drastic one. When you have enough people in any given culture reach a breaking point and become fed up with their way of life, they will join forces to resist and revolt. Governments have been overthrown in the past. I'm not sure how successful all the attempts were. What I am sure of is that their rebellious efforts were justified.

Citizen's State of the Union Address: Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge
"We are all Created Equal" What does this really mean? We all have opinions of what it means to be equal. A lot of those opinions are similar in content for the simple fact that our logic comes into play when faced with a question we don't fully know about, so we elaborate. In other words, we would rather share what we know without doing the proper research to formulate a better opinion, if in fact there is a better one to share for any particular subject.

The Undercover Patriot
It was time to board the oversized bus. I said my final goodbyes to the small town of Eureka, Kansas. The CoachWay express was taking me to my new home, or should I say my new life. As I climbed the giant steps that lead to the inside of the vehicle I glanced at the driver, he looked rundown like he just ran a marathon or something. He starred forward the entire time as if he was caught in a trance. He didn't look healthy enough to drive at all. I hope it was just me being paranoid. Maybe he recently woke up and the caffein hasn't kicked in yet. I continued on my way to find my seat assignment. I strolled pass the other seats, gazing at the seat numbers and looking ahead to see if anyone was sitting in my row yet. There was another soldier already there sitting in J-25 B, my seat was J-25 A. He had a tempestuous look on his face like someone was making him enlist. Or maybe he just got some bad news from a girlfriend who broke up with him because she doesn't want to do the long-distance thing. Maybe he is in pain, I don't know. I tend to over analyze things at times. I can't help it, it's just who I am. I don't believe I'm a pessimist but sometimes it seems like it. I am a happy person and full of life. I would give you the shirt off my back, for a lack of a better term.
