Words: 1217 - Pages: 5.... he immediately denounces his acceptance of imprisonment with his use of irony and at the same time he proposes a solution which he has radicalized.

Words: 456 - Pages: 2.... was not freedom. Freedom wouldn’t have given them the opportunity to show their ideas, it only allows them to create them. Predestination explains almost ninety percent of what happens in the world, from birth to death, and even pure luck. Freedom can not cause you to have “good luck” in a day, it is predestination which brings you to this “good luck.”

controlling maneuvers had something personal to gain. Be it power, control,
money, sex or property. Those that wrote this bill, pushed for it, bargained
away our rights in order to trade favors for something of their own, should be
scrutinized closely, in every aspect of their own lives.
If we continue to demonstrate, to march, to speak out, to make our voices
and our wishes heard, maybe-- just maybe, the wise and powerful few .....
