I found that it was a little difficult to read, because the sentences were kind of disjointed to begin with. It also falls on the side of being overly melodramatic, which makes it wordy.It needs work, but it has potential

What price are we prepared, how much are we prepared to sacrifice? What will we leave for the next generation, what will they have left to sacrifice when their time comes to want freedom?hmmmGood essay though :)

I think that this was an excellent essay, and I don't think that there is any easy answer. On the one hand the government has a responsibility to protect the public, on the other the freedom of speech.People have a right to say and or sing what they want, but people also have a right not to have to listen to it. Or vice versa, to listen to it.

For a 3rd year college paper, I thought it was a bit light-weight somehow. I thought it would have been better if it had been divided up into paragraphs.

I think it was a good essay, but it could have been better served by having a broader scope on the resources it draws from.The problem with history is that it is not an impartial mistress :P

I thought it was a good essay, without being great.. :P There were a goodly number of grammatical errors littered throughout the essay that would have made it a much more polished essay.

Call me a bigoted fool, but I think that stupidity can go a little too far at times.A similar situation exists in Australia with the Aborigines, and the stolen generation. I personally feel no responsibility for the actions of my forebears. Sure, I'm sorry that it happened, but I personally was not even alive at the time it happened. I do not see why my taxes should go to pay compensation for the sins of the fathers, so to speak.I think there is a case for moving towards the future, and this won't be achieved as long as we have our heads buried in the sand in the past.The Australian Prime Minister has refused to apologize as well. I think he sees it as being an admission of guilt, although I think legally now saying sorry is not an admission of guilt.Interesting quandary.

This was a great essay, very informative, and very useful for people in the education system.I personally was considered a gifted student in primary school, doing work 2 or more years ahead of my level. When I hit high school, I was treated badly because I had already done most of the work previously, and found it boring. I think there needs to be a support base all the way through the education system/

I thought that this was a very interesting piece about an interesting man. Its amazing how foresightful (if that's a word) Aldous Huxley was.I haven't finished reading the book, but its scarey just howreal it all is in our day and age.

I think that as long as we focus on the problems of the past, there is no way that we can possibly be prepared to change the future. As long as we are focussed on throwing personal pity parties about our situation, we're just going to go backwards.I think that it is indemic in the whole capitalist system. Truly, the love of money is the root of all evil (to quote the bible). Money isn't, but when people become so obsessed about the having money, and needing money. There are so many people out there with more money than they know what to do with, and more money than they could possibly spend in a dozen life times, yet we still have impoverished and starving people in the world.If we should be, as a society, damned for anything it should be that. That people out there are dying every day, every minute, because people don't care enough to help feed them.

It is a similar situation to that of Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Although he is something of a despotistic ruler, he is able to hold the country together, whatever his questionable methods. I think it will likely fall apart if they try to do what they are trying in Iraq right now, because no one else is experienced in leading a country. I mean. he's the only one who's ruled in more than a generation.I think that the sanctions against Cuba have a lot to answer for the problems amongst the common people. Sanctions don't hurt the people they're intended to. The people at the top won't feel a thing, its only the little people that will feel the pinch of the economic sanctions. I really do not see the point of the continued sanctions.I am not advocating the likes of Castro or Hussein, rather I think that we need to look at how we're contributing to the problem. Wouldn't it be better to lift the sanctions, and encourage economic growth, and this would reduce the amount of refugees coming to America.*sigh*

I thought that while the information contained in the essay was good, it was badly structured, and would have been better divided up into sections or paragraphs. Also there were a few grammatical errors scattered through it.

We had to do an analysis of a simpsons episode for university, however I think the whole point of the simpsons is to have a laugh at the ridiculous bits, and ironies, and hypocritical parts of our society, be it science, old people, greenpeace, and so on.The reason it is so funny is the fact that it is 'so true' so to speak. We laugh at the things we recognize about the world around us, but we need someone to put them into words, as though our voice doesn't count.Odd

It's a bit one-eyed, so to speak. The language used seems a bit careless for a 2nd year college essay. Also, Hitler's campaign wasn't only agaist the Jews, he had a whole list of people who he considered to be racially inferior.
