torture

I do not believe in torture unless the terrorist is proven guilty first. Even if someone is 75% positive that a criminal has committed an act I do not think you should torture that person. There is always that 25 percent chance that the person has done nothing wrong. As Americans we should be leaders and not follows. It is our job to show that we will not stoop so low as to torture innocent people, just because they look, act, or have Muslim last names. It would be wrong to assume that just because of where they came from.

            Knowing when to stop is important too. If a terrorist is found after torturing, would it be right to torture their families, and friends? Being in America means that you are innocent until proven guilty. After one is proven guilty and still refuses to give out information, then I would agree with torture. However, if a person is proved innocent, then torture wouldn’t be an option. The one thing I don’t stand for is unnecessary punishment. As Americans, or citizens, setting an example for other countries is very important. If we set the example and others follow, the world would be a better place.

My Soul

Tracing back my soul to 1785

Is very interesting to see

Where I’ve been alive

In London I’ve had tea

With Monica Dickens, the one who liked to write,

May 10^th 1915, born a fighter

December 25^th 1992, died in the night

I’ve always wanted to be a writer

In hopes to make myself a little brighter.

 

 

Illonois was a sight to see

I couldn’t contain all my glee

Albert Spalding’s colors where back and white

His baseball team won without a fright

Born September 2^nd 1850

September 9^th 1815, his death was really nifty

Losing a game now and then is no shame

I always say, it’s how you play the game

 

 

I’ve been to Gloucestershire

My Chemist gene I aspired

William Prout was his name

January 15^th 1785- he came

1850, April 9^th was the day he passed,

I’m so glad we share the love of atomic mass.

 

 

 

Venice is my last stop

This place is hard to top

I’ve learned how to paint from Pietro Longhi

Who was married to Cathrina Rizzi

November 5^th, 1701 was his birth

May 8^th 1785, his last day on earth.

For some people its plain to see

Where I get my artistic ability.

I’ve been to many places

Traveling so much allowed me to meet so many faces

Knowing where I descended from put me at ease

Who can be upset with people as great as these?
