U S Consutition

All this talk of whats acceptable and whats justified by the constitution, whats right..whats wrong, in my opinion has a relatively simple conclusion. The constittion, written hundreds of years ago by men far brighter and socailly intelligent than any one of us is sometimes undermined by people not looking far enough into it. The men who wrote it knew what they were doing. Theres a limit to what you can hide behind and what doesn't count. Whats claimed to be fair and not fair, just and unjust to me seems all completely fair, completely just. Restrictions under the constitution, protection under the constitution, both are legitimate contrasts to everyday questions by US citizens. The men who wrote it, the founders of this country didnt scrible down a few words and called it a day. Much thought and care was put into the document that is the foundation of this nations proclamation of its peoples rights. Loop holes are plentiful, but usually in the hands of the right people. Deeming the constition unfair or beleiving anything you do can be protected by it is an untrue determination.

Art

After traveling to Chicago for our field trip and interpretting art it got me wondering is that the way the artist would want us to interpret it? A simple interpretation of a paintng is that the artist made it that way becuase he thought it looked best, he had no special meaning. I believe that overthinking artwork sometimes leads to untrue conclusions. Most artwork has some sort of reasoning behind it, but perhaps not all. Then again, ugly artwork such as Picasso's work(in my opinion) is seen as pointless and with no meaning to me. But someone who interprets it differently, is the kind of person that makes his abstract, hard to follow artwork masterpieces. The point of this post is that i believe the beuty of art has nothing to do with the skill of the artist, but the mass interpreation of the people that view it.

Freedom

A lot of talk about what it truly means to be free, and questions on constitutional sway in perilous times got me thinking is our country truly a free one? Obviously America provides oppurtunities for people found no where else in the world. But overall the "free" country we live in is willing to simply throw the freedom of its citizens out the window during perilous times. If a sniper was capable of hitting the bullseye of a target from a mile away 10 times in a row, but when being shot at, could never hit the target...would that be someone you could rely on in battle? This relates to America, sure freedom and constituaional rights are blossoming during times of peace or little threat. But In past events such as WWII, Japanese internment camps stripped the freedom of Japanese americans. In recent times, phone tapping is also a violation of privacy and freedom. Is America truly a country every citizen of every nationality can feel free and obliged to their rights as an American?

Perilous times

arent all time perilous times? cant everything go wrong at anytime? your whole world can come crashing down at any moment. After seeing the movie American Gangster, it was quite evident that one could go from everything to nothing in a very short amount of time. This relates to perhaps the world as a whole. 9.11 is a great example of how a countries world can be turned upside down in a matter of a couple hours. That said, its scary thinking the world as we know it can be over or ruined by something like a nuclear war. Perilous times are among us, time will be perilous aslong as terrorists roam, and fighting is possible. Basially theres no escaping the fate of the world, theres no escaping perious times, the world is a mercilous bomb that we live upon oblivious to the reality of constant danger and death.
