Angelina Jolie as 2008 President

Angelina Jolie would make a suitable president for 2008 because of many factors. She is self-determined, head strong, and an achiever. She is successful in everything that she puts her mind to from becoming an actress to a popular superstar to a heroine. For five years now Angelina has dedicated herself as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. And they didn’t call her but she called them for the support. She has visited many international countries and donated much to them such as $1 to Afganistan. In September 2006 Jolie announced the founding of the Jolie/Pitt Foundation which made initial donations to Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders of $1 million each. Donating money to the needy is not enough for Jolie to consider herself helping out; she adopts three children from three different countries and shelter and love them as her own. She is capable of doing all this herself and still able to keep her own life together with Brad Pitt. With three kids adopted, she also gave birth to a daughter. Therefore, Angelina Jolie would make a great U.S. president for next year because of her ability to focus not only her life but also the world and be successful in them.

Strong Response: Darwin's God


I agree with Robin Henig for three reasons. First, the Darwin theory. Second, people believe in God more back than then now because of brain development. Lastly, eventhough we are here on earth does not really mean we have a purpose eternally. To think about it, people back than uses God to explain everything that happens like how Zeus create thunder and lightening or how apollo creates night and day. As we know today that it's science that create the changes. Our brains have developed and advanced over time and therefore there are atheists out there now who contradict the idea of God. We are more advanced now than before; therefore we think deeply than, as before, just accept what our culture provided to us. We all learned science and have been exposed to the idea that we evolved from monkeys. Science has proven this to be true through biology and how genes have come about. Darwin explains more clearly of evolution- selctive reproduction, survival of the fittest, and population thinking. From that idea maybe we ought to reconsider our existence on earth.

Night At The Museum

"Night At The Museum," is a friendly, pro-family film that anyone would be able to enjoy. The movie is about a Ben Stiller trying to find a job to make money in order for him to be able to continue seeing his son. When he finally found a job, to his surprise, it was not an ordinary one. His position was supposed to be a night guard in a museum, but after one night he found out that his position was more than that. Instead, he has to guard the museum when everything comes to live and also has to protect his own life.

This movie interests me for it is a totally different story from the rest. For instance, most horror films have the same basic theme like a huanted house but just with different characters and lines. Most family movies have family issues to solve towards the end. This movie has a family issue with Stiller needing money but it is not the theme of the movie. The theme is actually for Stiller to make a difference, saving the museum and making his son proud.
