I read this article and I can't help but to laugh to myself a little. I completely believe in sending scientist to see what is around our planet, and in other galaxies. I completely believe in scientific research to discover what is out there in the universe. The thing that makes me laugh is our childish infatuation with wanting to discover a new earth. This article was written from the point of view of the kid who has every toy ever made, but still has the longest Christmas list you've ever seen! We have everything we ever needed within this planet, and we just don't grasp that concept. We are destroying something that is in fact exactly what we are spending billions looking for elsewhere. The thought of there being aliens or animal-like humans out there sometimes intrigued me, but never interested me. Life is amazing on this planet. So I vote instead of searching for life on other planets we should spend that money fixing this one. I'm the places struggling with disease, malnutrition, and economic disaster would greatly appreciate it.

Switching from fossil fuels to biofuels will help the people, the environment, and the economy.

1.America currently has a great foreign dependence for oil. 

2.The burning of fossil fuels is causing the climate change

3.The awareness of ethanol use would cause great competition with gas empires.

Jury of My Peers

I found the peer review process to be a very interesting one. It was a new experience for me that I had never been asked to perform in that type of format before. I have never in my life been asked to review someone else's art directly in front of them. From the critical end it made me feel somewhat uneasy. Reading someone else's work you don't really know what they were trying to say, or how they were attempting to express certain event or emotions. Being critical of something that is not set in stone ie:grammar,punctuation, etc. made the process all the more difficult. You don't know how close the person is to that work or how much they really value your opinion. From the creative end the same issues arise. Work that you may be personally connected to may be viewed as unintelligent or under-developed in the eyes of others. I believe that could be the reason people are reluctant to write about topics that are extremely personal or tell stories where they are not viewed as the hero. Also at times on the critical end it's as simple as you have nothing to say. Sometimes people's work are just that good. I see the peer review system as extremely flawed and an ineffective way to judge someone's work.

Me

Hey whats up my name is Terrance Terry. And no I do not go by Terry Terry so if anyone asks me that I prob won't care but I like to think I'd be mad. That's something about me I am a pretty patient person and it takes a lot for me to get mad due to past events in my life, and a little anger management. I come from the Chicago area of Illinois and was born there. Pretty much every other person from my family is from the south so i have a touch of southern personality to me. I am a very outgoing person which anyone who is around me for more than twenty minutes can tell. I am extremely comfortable with myself so it's a very rare occasion for me to be embarrassed. I am the type of person that that will give you the most respect in the world until I get upset. And my biggest pet peeve are people who think they're better than everyone. -Thanks for reading
