Ode to USS Olympia

Oh' Olympia, say it isn't so.
Say the politicians won't let you go.

Oh' Olympia, the wars you have fought.
Now the politicians are going to let you rot.

Oh' Olympia, the tales you could tell
if only we could pay attention well..


Oh' Olympia, Why must it be?
that some want you to be a reef.


Oh' Olympia, It'll be a sad day.
If you have to go away.


Oh' Olympia, It is you we must save.
From slipping under the waves.


Oh' Olympia, help you must get.
If you are to have refits.


Oh' Olympia, the news we must heed.
That it is you we still need.


Oh' Olympia, this is my poem to you.
For one day I hope to go aboard you.

Eliminating hunger part 2 ( Ideas From Tuskegee)

Top Stories http://www.oxis.com
In this second and final part I discuss how ideas from Tuskegee and George Washington Carver will in my opinion eliminate world hunger. One of the ideas George Washington Carver came up with at Tuskegee was the idea of rotating crops. The reason behind this was that by rotating crops you rejuvenate the nutrient in the soil. there by allowing more food to be grown. I see this as a resolution of ( what is in my opinion) one of the reasons for the famines in Africa and elsewhere in the developing world. The other idea Carver came up with is plowing and harvesting in circles and not straight lines. By doing this you reduce the loss of soil and nutrients. In closing the biggest problem to implementing these ideas is that there will be those farmers who will be resistant to these ideas. In the end, those who use these ideas will have better long term farming than those are farming the way their ancestors did. Only by implementing the ideas mentioned here and in part 1, will we be able to eliminate famines and curtail world hunger.

Eliminating Hunger part 1 ( No Subsidies for E-85 )

Top Stories http://www.oxis.com
This will be a two part series where I discuss how to eliminate world hunger. Part one will be about E-85 ethanol and its negative consequence on the world's food supply. Part two will be about how we must educate the third world populace on the efficient farming methods of George Washington Carver and the Tuskegee Institute. In this part I discuss the reason I believe we should not use our food as fuel for our machines. The reasons not to do this are as follows: First, by turning our food into fuel we waste the  much needed food. Second, by using food to power our cars and heat our homes, we end causing shortages which end up in higher food prices when most families can't afford the increases.Third, not only is E-85 inefficient, it also is not as clean as hydrogen. The proof is this, for ever gallon of E-85 made it took 2 gallons of gas, which the fraud of E-85. In other-words, the only people who benefit from E-85 are corrupt politicians looking votes and farmers looking for tax money.  If we are to go to renewable fuels, then we should go to something like hydrogen or methane. By doing this, we don't waste food or cause a shortage. It is for these reasons that we cannot, we should not, we must not allow the subsidization of E-85 fuel. Because by subsidizing E-85 we allow the corruption of the politicians and the fall of our government as we increase our debt. In conclusion, if we really want clean fuels and lower our debt, we must not allow E-85 to be subsidized EVER.

America (Why I love her)

Top Stories http://www.oxis.com 
In this article I'm going to talk about America & why I love her. The reason I'm writing this is because their is some uncertainty about whether we're the greatest country in the world. The answer to that question is this: Yes, we are the greatest country in the world and here's why I say this. First, it was America who was the first ever country to whose government is the People. And as such, until our founding all nation were ruled by the Elite class of the Aristocracy and not the people. If you look at the mansions or castles that leader's around the world live in the White House is a one-room shack in comparison. America is also the only country that We the People can rule. In other-words even the poorest of the poor can be President, or in Congress. No other country allows you to do this, not even countries we deem as democracies. Second no where else in the world do you see poor people with multiple cars, tvs ,computers or phones in their houses. In other-words America has , in my opinion, the richest poor and middle class in the world. The proof of this is: for those who are poor or middle class, answer these questions. 1) How many times a day do you eat?, 2) How many televisions, cars, or phones do you have?, 3) Do you get full when you eat? If you answer more then one on questions 1 and 2 and answered yes to question three, then you (being poor or middle class) are richer then the poor in the rest of the world. Third, is a story about a guy who immigrated to this country as a child. After arriving in New York and passing the Statue of Liberty he saw an ad for an antacid and he cried. When his mother asked him what was wrong he said they didn't deserve to be in this country because they had never eaten till they were full. Finally no where else in the world can you say what you want without going to jail. These reasons are why I love America, Because we truly are the best country in the world.

Living With Chronic Illness

Top Stories http://www.oxis.com
 Living with chronic illness which 1 in 2 American have is a constant fight if you have asthma, cystic fibrosis, or some other chronic illness. So if you have a chronic illness it becomes frustrating that you cannot do thing or enjoy life as those without chronic illness. An example of this is what I go through with my asthma, although its mild, every time I get allergies my coughing is bad enough that I end up nearly blacking out and get strain headaches. I tend to injure my ribs due to the constant cough and the strength of the cough. I also end up going through a 2 month or more coughing spell. Even I have mild asthma I still fight to continue to do what I like doing, like model building. That being said, while I do have mild asthma I will not allow asthma to define me. I will continue doing what I like despite having asthma. And that's what we (people with chronic illness) need to do. We cannot allow our chronic illnesses to define us, wed need to break out of our illnesses and define ourselves. By doing this we tell the world that our illnesses do not define us, we do. Having said that I'll conclude by saying that, while having chronic illness, it is not the end of the world. Because those with chronic illness can still enjoy life like those without chronic illness.

Illegal immigration ( the new slavery)

Top Stories http://www.oxis.com
 I am sick of the pro-amnesty and illegal immigrant activists saying that the Arizona's law encourages racial profiling and is unconstitutional. So, here my counter argument to their claims. Their first argument is that it is (SB1070) unconstitutional. They're wrong & here's why, first there is nowhere in the Constitution that prohibit the state from enforcing federal law or pass laws that mirror federal law. In fact every state that enforce anti-drug laws, are in fact, enforcing federal federal laws. Second, the Arizona law does not preempt,but if fact, mirrors federal law. Now this is done in every state that enforces anti-drug laws. In fact here is the opening text, "The legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona." The second argument against the Arizona law is "racial profiling". This is a bold face Lie because the law clearly state "lawful contact". that means you have to be breaking another law to be contacted by police. Another problem I have with these groups opposing the Arizona law, is that in my opinion they are pro-slavery and anti-American. They say that illegal immigrants do work Americans won't do. This is the very same lie the pro-slavery politicians said in the 1800s. Next, they say that illegals pay social security and other taxes. This too, is a lie because their employers not only pay them under the table, but pay them a $1/hour if the employers pay them at all. In conclusion I say this: "if you are pro illegal immigration, you are pro-slavery". And there is no room in this country for slavery or slave owners.
