If I was to live anywhere in the world it would be either Antarctica, or Britain. Antarctica for the obvious reasons of solitude, penguins and snow. Britain for the reasons that it is the land of my anscestors, has a rich cultural heritage, and it is also cold. Another thing about Britain I like is it has a pretty good health care. Well, another place I would love to live is, The North East of the United States of America. This is because it snows there and I like living near the ocean. Another plus is that it is in America which is a wonderful place to live. As you can see though I live in Texas I would love to live somewhere where you have to wear a jacket for more than one month out of the year.
These past Two weeks have been one Thing after another. First I had the Biology Field Trip. Now I have the laying the foundation test. This weekend I have a tennis tournament. I have literally gotten about twenty hours of sleep this week. Yet I never feel tired. Tonight I have two sketch map to do. While making this blog I have made about three typing errors in every sentence. I think I need to practice. But overall these last few weeks have been pretty decent just really tiring. I hope next week is a little bit more relaxed. END.

Past Two weeks.
These last weeks have been pretty good. we recently learned about the different monotheistic religions that were founded in South West Asia. Though the videos we watched seemed a little bit off I think everyone learned something about beliefs other than their own. Though these two weeks have been the same length as all other two week periods it seems as though less has happened. I have no idea why other than I was sick during this time period and I may have tried to forget about that horrible experience. I would like to know if there is another chapter we will be studying after SouthWest Asia or if this is the final conclusion. Also I would like to know how specifically Sunni Muslims differ from Shia Muslims. Fin.
Overpopulation?
Overpopulation is a serious issue today in the world. Many countries such as China have rules regarding number of children per family which would probably help the overpopulation issue but seems like a pretty communist thing to do which probably wouldn't go over well in America. Also that seems as though it would breed dissent among the population. My solution to this problem is very simple. I would do nothing. First off I don't believe the government should intervene in matters such as this. That could lead to a totalitarian society in which many more things were controlled. Though this outcome is probably not very likely it still is important as a principle. Also the more people there are on earth the more conflict there will be and therefore more wars will be waged and more people will die balancing out the amount of Births. Overpopulation should only be ended through a desicision made by everyone on their own. It will recquire a change in our society, but not in our principles.

The past two weeks
The past two weeks have been, a real party. I can't really remember much of what we learned except it was about the Tragedy in Darfur. I can't wait for the Socratic Seminar because I like the new system where everyone only gets four speaking moments. I think that will help people who don't talk much not be overtaken by the likes of some others I will not mention. Also it will keep people thinking about the topic and not just blurting things out so they will get a good grade. there was one problem this past fortnight though. I heard there was an earthquake in rome that killed two hundred and displaced thousands. That would be a serious problem. I'm glad its near the six weeks because this six weeks has been so long. It really feels like three months already and I will be glad when its over. See you next time America.
Darfur.
Today I would like to discuss the situation in Darfur, a region in Western Sudan. According to some genocide is occuring, but why is no one taking action. This entire event could have been, and still can; be completely avoided if we werent so indesicisive. I'm not blaming the United Nations for this atrocity but I'm just saying it could've been prevented. the real people at blame are the Janaweed (sorry for spelling errors) and the Government of Sudan. The Janaweed because obviously they been killing and raping a huge amount of innocent people. The government because they employed the janaweed and practically payed the janaweed to do this. Also the Government prevented the United Nations from intervening. Another person who's in a way responsible is China. China supplyed the weapons for Sudan, and also continually vetoed resolutions that called for action in the United Nations. And finally the other nations of the world. While they were not as directly involved in this as others they could have stepped in. They could have ended this years ago but they didn't. For this they are partially responsible for Darfur even though they didn't kill or rape anyone. I hope this blog helped everyone better understand the situation in Darfur and my opinion of it. Signing off, Kyle Ford, have a pleasent evening America.

Kyle Ford (music)
Hello sportsracers welcome to the generic concert experience featuring the likes of flight of the conchords, The white stripes, and David Bowie. This is going to be the most spectaculur and epic musical experience ever devised by the likes of man. More cliche exaggeration. Even more cliche and unnescesary exaggeration of the pros of this performance.
As you might of already guessed by the lack of real senteces and details regarding the show, this never actually happened. But if it did happen it would be equatable to liquified awesomeness, bottled and then sold as a low cost Super energy Soda. Yeah how cool was that analogy. But back to the bands flight of the conchords are new zealands fourth most populary parody band. The white stripes are the white stripes and are awesome. no description needed. And David Bowie is David Bowie aka Ziggy Stardust. Now at the end of my blog I am going to post a link to some flight of the conchords videos. Bye Faithful readers and hopefully my blog is long enough so I won't have to get another seventy. Becauase that would not be fun or awesome or cool or any positive adjective. As you might have been able to tell I'm just filling some extra space and I just realized I don't know how to post links so sadly you won't get any flight of the conchords videos and I am sincerely sorry about this. Now I'm gonna go.

The Past Two Weeks
The past two weeks have been very interesting. I finished my African mask project and it was awesome. I chose to do a sun mask and I think it might actually be able to summon the sun spirit. I'm afraid that during my presentation it will call fire to rain down from the sky burning the school. Hopefully that won't happen. compared to the masks I've seen mine was beast. But their have been some really cool ones but I won't name names so I won't make anyone cry. Today we did a study guide and it was fun. Yeah. Study Guide! I hope the next unit we do will be as interesting as the unit on Africa. I think it is the Middle east but I could be wrong. That area has a rich history so it will probably be pretty interesting. This past week has been pretty easy and I hope that will continue. Signing off today Kyle Ford. I really hope this is long enough...
