Heated
Friday in class Mr.Schick had us watch a video. This video was the beginning of the very first episode of a new TV show which featured an anchorman answering questions. The anchorman continually avoids direct answers to questions, until they ask him to give a direct answer to the question "Why is America the greatest country on Earth?". He initially gives a very evasive answer but after he is pressed about it, he loses it. He goes on a rant about how we used to be the best country. I sympathized with this man, and when Mr.Schick gave us the chance to voice our opinion, I didn't hold back. I went on a little rant about how America is no longer an intimidating country. America used to put its foot down and laid down lines. If you crossed that line, boy were you in trouble. Now, we lay down a line, and if you cross it, WE are in trouble. WE are in trouble because if you test us, and you cross that line, we do nothing. America is far from the greatest country.
