Hey yall!
Yes, I will get the next part of the story up tonight. but not now.
We have a writing assignment in english where we write a story and we can make it into a movie for extra credit. I have two Ideas, noth called random things from a seventh grade mind. Which one do yall think is better? Yeah, it's a funny movie.
Idea #1!!!
We live through the life of a regular seventh grader. Wakes up, goes to school, comes home, eats dinner, does homework, sleep. But all the time this seventh grader is narrating himself out loud! For instance, when he wakes up he would say:
"(insert seventh grader name here) is waking up. Have not completely come around yet. Not exactly all here. Mother is coming into room. Seems angry. She doesn't know I think she looks angry. And she also doesn't know that I think she can't cook. Well, she might now, judging by the scary look on her face...that I just made worse...
Idea#2!!
We live through the life of another seventh grader who thinks he's a spy. Always talks into a very fake walkie-talkie (I might substitute something like a cassette tape) and is running around trying to maek/solve/find mysteries where there are none. Kind of the same as idea one.
Please comment and tell me which one you think is better!

Hey Everyody!
It's late and I know I should be asleep but I was just reading my dad's blog and it got me thinking. You know the whole "Planned Parenting" organization and Margaret Sanger, the leader who they praise and love and look up to and practically worship? This lady is very, very bad. She is racist and believes that poor people, black people, mentally disabled and physically disabled people are not worthy to be born. She created Planned Parenthood as a way to start weeding these people out to keep them from continuing their defects. If there is anything wrong with you or if you don't think like her or if you are a different color from her then she thinks you don't deserve to have been born. How wrong is that? My best friend used to be poor and a lot of my friends are black and so id my dad and I know a few people who my family loves very much who are mentally disabled. What is wrong with this girl?
You may not believe me, but here it is. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Margaret Sanger...In her own words.
Planned parenthood? If the title of the organization doesn't say it all, maybe we'll let the founder, Maggie Sanger, speak for herself.... But first, a word from her sponsor.
"As we celebrate the 100th birthday of Margaret Sanger, our outrageous and our courageous leader, we will probably find a number of areas in which we may find more about Margaret Sanger than we thought we wanted to know..."
Faye Wattleton, Past-president of Planned Parenthood
Actually, Faye darling, this is exactly what we wanted to know. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, in her own words.
"The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
Margaret Sanger (editor). The Woman Rebel, Volume I, Number 1. Reprinted in Woman and the New Race. New York: Brentanos Publishers, 1922.
"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."
Margaret Sanger. Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
"Sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review referring to black people.
"Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives."
[no source available at this time...]
As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation....On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born
at all."
Margaret Sanger. The Pivot of Civilization, 1922. Chapter on "The Cruelty of Charity," pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore College Library edition.
"The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind."
Margaret Sanger, quoted in Charles Valenza. "Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?" Family Planning Perspectives, January-February 1985, page 44.
"The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their support. There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped."
Margaret Sanger. Speech quoted in Birth Control: What It Is, How It Works, What It Will Do. The Proceedings of the First American Birth Control Conference. Held at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, November 11-12, 1921. Published by the Birth Control Review, Gothic Press, pages 172 and 174.
"The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social order..."
Margaret Sanger (editor). The Woman Rebel, Volume I, Number 1. Reprinted in Woman and the New Race. New York: Brentanos Publishers, 1922.
"[Our objective is] unlimited gratification without the burden of unwanted children..."
Margaret Sanger (editor). The Woman Rebel, Volume I, Number 1. Reprinted in Woman and the New Race. New York: Brentanos Publishers, 1922.
"Give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."
Margaret Sanger, April 1932 Birth Control Review.
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the American Baby Code that states, "No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child… without a permit for parenthood".
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the Population Congress with the aim, "...to give certain dysgenic (people with bad genes... like african americans?) groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization."Is this what they mean by planned parenthood? Parenthood that meets their plans? As for Sanger, her motives were extremely clear. Have you seen anything where PP has denounced the beliefs of it's founder? Not some individual, but the organization as a whole? If we consider Hitler evil for his desire to exterminate the Jewish race, what do we say of Sanger?
It's amazing to actually hear (or read) this much hate coming from one person. I encourage you one way or another to write a letter to Margaret Sanger's organization telling them how disgraceful and bad their leader is, and to point out that this is what their whole organization was built on, that this crap is what they have worked so hard for.
I will proabably get the next chapter of the story up tomorrow.
Starting tuesday, we have to take TAKS tests the rest of the week. This is the test that tells the school whether they need to fire your teachers or not. And whether your smart enough to "continue your wonderful journey down the long road of education". Wish me luck!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feeling smarterer...er...er... yet? I know I'm not! Anyway...
We had t o wake up at 5:30 this morning so that we could drive to temple and Dad could do a worship service over there. We got back around 7-ish. I AM SO TIRED! We had a blast, got to see tons of old friends. I didn't recognize a lot of them but they all recognized us. HAve you ever had someone you don't know walk up and give you a big hug and talk about how old you're getting? yeah.
I was in English class one time a couple weeks agoand we were taking our english/writing TAKS test and the one kid who couldn't stop talking (we'll call him BOB) got back after being gone a whole week. That was the best week of my life- no one interupting and yelling and getting all the teachers in bad moods. I have to sit next to him (blech!) in english, our last class with the coolest teacher ever!. Bob won't leave me alone. He won't leave anything at all alone. He sees something on the ground and he has to pick it up and make a big basketball scene and shoot it into the trashcan. Bob picks up my purse , puts it on then walks around the room, or steals my papers and turns them into paper airplanes, or talks in a high voice and then tells the teacher I did it! He always acts like a third grader! AARGH! So anyway I am sitting there taking my test. Everybody got a water bottle and some goldfish. Then I here bob whisper "Give me your goldfish!". And it was the same thing that happened last time we took the TAKS test (I wrote about it in a different blog). The teacher looks up and tells him to be quiet or get a zero on the test. 2 minutes later he says it again in a high voice and the teacher's all like "Laura! Quit talking!". I tried to tell her it wasn't me, but can you believe how hard it is to talk to somebody without talking when they don't know sign language and they aren't even looking at you? So Bob says it again, but whispering still. The teacher didn't hear him.I had the goldfish in the aisle next to me on his side so he tries to reach down and get them when the teacher looks up and he gets D-hall for the next 3 days! The whole class practically cheered right there during the test!
Guess what?
I'm starting another book on my blog! Yay! This one will hopefully be better than the last one. It's called ELEMENTS. I'll probably put the first chapter up tomorrow. It's about a Queen named Pyris who hates her name and insists on being called "Red". She has pale skin and long red hair. She has 'powers', the ability to control the six elements- earth, air, fire, water, darkness, and light. She has a counselor named Martha who she grew up with. Martha is kind of like a fortune teller. Red has a husband named Ferdinand and 6 little girls- Starlight, Midnight, Pyris, Ary (short for Aryana), Terra, and Aqua. They live happily ever after- until tragedy strikes! An alien race has their own fortune teller, Cassandra. Cassandra made a prophecy many, many years ago that the only thing that could defeat such and advanced race were the 6 elements. No one knew what she was talking about, so they all laughed it off- until they flew close to earth and got a celestial power reading that showed up on their radar from over 6 million lightyears away! The radar went basurk. It was pure power, pure energy, but it was the elements and a human at the same time. They have to destroy this... thing. Can Red and her daughters survive the attack? What will they do if Red fails? What about the kingdom? And is martha really their friend? Find out... MONDAY. DON'T MISS A SINGLE CHAPTER!
