Songs That Make Us Think

Mumford & Sons - White Blank Page 


Can you lie next to her 
and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her 
and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before this king 
and say "I’m clean", "I’m Clean"?

But tell me now where was my fault, 
in loving you with my whole heart?
Oh, tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?

Her white blank page 
and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention, but denied my affections, my affections

So tell me now where was my fault, 
in loving you with my whole heart?
Oh, tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?

Ahhhh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhhhhh [x4]

Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
oh lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life

Ahhhh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhhhhh [x4]

Elements of Thought

Drug Legalization


1. The purpose of this article is to not only defend the supporters of drug legalization but also to show us what other developments other countries are making around the world.

2. Some key problems are black market dynamics, mandatory sentencing, and individual freedom.

3. What I know is that the War on Drugs has been going on for way too long and is ineffective. We need to take other, less serious punishments for offenders if not just legalizing marijuana.

4. There was no conclusion to this article because it was giving us basic facts, from both sides, on the War on Drugs.

5. In the article, it states that in 2001, Portugal changed its drug laws by offering therapy to offenders rather than taking them to jail. The article also states that our prisons are notoriously overfilled with people charged with nonviolent crimes. I think that this would be the perfect solution for the United States. Because, if you look at the statistics that state that in five years, Portugal's rate of illegal drug use among teens dropped, as well as HIV being spread by sharing dirty needles, fell by 17%.

6. I assume that the United States will get its act together and figure out that they are doing more harm than good.

7. The consequences for having marijuana in Kentucky has dropped, somewhat. You can have up to a pound on you and be cited a ticket. However, of course the police are going to search your car and/or home. This leads to finding  paraphernalia, which is still a federal offense.

8. All around the world is becoming more accepting of marijuana. It's even being used to medical purposes, everywhere.

9. A gain from us legalizing marijuana would be the taxes put on marijuana. In marijuana alone, we could be so much closer to coming out of debt in our country. We would also decrease our prison population. One concern as a loss would be, "will the children see it as okay to do drugs?"

Adam and Eve

Evangelicals Question the Existence of Adam and Eve

"Let's go back to the beginning — all the way to Adam and Eve, and to the question: Did they exist, and did all of humanity descend from that single pair?"

Library Assignment: Autism Information

Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's on Googlebooks

"Look Me in the Eye is the moving, darkly funny story of growing up with Asperger’s at a time when the diagnosis simply didn’t exist. A born storyteller, Robison takes you inside the head of a boy whom teachers and other adults regarded as “defective,” who could not avail himself of KISS’s endless supply of groupies, and who still has a peculiar aversion to using people’s given names (he calls his wife “Unit Two”). He also provides a fascinating reverse angle on the younger brother he left at the mercy of their nutty parents—the boy who would later change his name to Augusten Burroughs and write the bestselling memoir Running with Scissors."
