Hero or Villian

There is a new movie out that I am looking forward to seeing. The movie is V for Vendetta. At first I just wanted to see it because it looked to be a good action movie. As I looked up the movie, I learned it was much more. The movie takes place in a facist like a Britain. V (antagonist of the film) takes measures to install fear in the govn't, and at the same time arouse the public to the fact that their govn't has no right to treat them the way that they do. V takes some pretty extreme measures to achieve his goal. Here is were I get split. Some say he is a terrorist, because he uses violence to try and teach facist Britain a lesson. On the other hand he can be seen as a fredoom fighter, because he acts out against injustice on everyone's behalf. The line between the two is very fine. Too even begin to have an opinion you must first look at it from both sides. If he is a terrorist, because of his use of violence then we must also call america's founding fathers terrorist or the Texas revolutionaries terrorist. Now if we call him a freedom fighter, because he fights for what he believes in then we must also call Osama Bin Laden a freedom fighter. The line is fine and being either one is too close. I personally believe that V is a freedom fighter, because when it come down to it the real question, in my eye's at least, is whether or not the cause is just. So is V a hero or is he a villian?

Abuse

In the news lately is a teacher who went on a twenty minute rant against the U.S. & Pres. Bush. I am not a fan of Pres. Bush or his administration, but because he was down talking Bush does not mean I will defend him. That man had no right to do what he did. He is a high school teacher inflicting his personal opinions on his students, that is an abuse of his power as a teacher. If he was a college professor that would be a different story, but these are young people very impressionable some of them. The students and the teacher weren't even having a discussion he was teaching them his beliefs as fact. That is wrong whether you are a Liberal, conservative, or just somewhere in between. The teacher was very wrong I know if I had children I wouldn't want their teacher ranting on about some insane conservative belief that was his own personal opinion. A teacher once did that at the high school I attend he told us his own opinion, but stated it as a fact. That teacher was wrong I just hope that my fellow classmates can make up their own opinion. People are very one sided these day they see their side only, and that leads to abuses of power, and division among us.

Worry

I watch the news a lot and I worry, where are the people who care about this country, not saying all politicians are uncaring. It is just that they are too few. Most politicians have hidden agendas, and they all play the blame game. No one will take responsibility. The people in-charge press issues that really have no impact on the american people inorder to hide what is really going on. Just think when was the last time your representative,represented something that really concerns you. I think it is time that someone step up and retake this country for the little man.
