In the 1960s the post-war baby boomers were becoming teenagers and young adults. According to the Kingwood College LIbrary "an estimated 850,000 war baby freshman entered college" and "emergency living quarters are set up in dorm lounges, hotels, and trailers." College campuses became places for the youth to express themselves against the government and their country. Scenes of protest and debates were the center of many colleges across the country. The cause of much of their distress was the fact that the men were of military draft age, however, the could not yet vote. (18 year-olds could not vote until 1971). Many tried to distance themselves from their upper middle-class parents and make a life on their own.

Energy
Energy is the ability to do work. There are many different types of energy including kinetic, potential, thermal, electromagnetic, chemical, nuclear, and mass. All natural phenomena have been defined by these different types of energy. The basic scientific principle of energy is that it can neither be created, nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
Energy in this day in age is a very important topic. Managing and controlling energy is essential to an industrialized world. It is needed for agriculture, communication, technology, and transportation. Toady energy and energy resources are used synonymously. Energy resources include fuels, petroleum, and electricity.
Today, however, the world's increase in the use of energy has some negative effects. These effects could potentially have serious effects on our world. Such problems include global warming.

What Constitutes Torture?
The legal definition of torture has always been a topic of great debate. In recent years, the definition has evolved to become more specific, appeasing the human rights groups, but not too specific for the government to use its discretion in certain situations.
In 1984, the United Nations Convention Against Torture defines torture as "any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing hi or a third person for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.
The United States Justice Department previous definition of torture was defined as "organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death" constitute torture punishable by law. However, this definition was too broad and gave the government a lot of wiggle room to interrogate suspects within the realm of the law. The new definition as defined by Section 2340A of Title 18, United States Code, is very similar to the one written out at the '84 United Nations Convention Against Torture.

ZetaTalk
A group of aliens known as the Zetas have prophesized the end of the world to be between May and June of 2003. According to their theory, Planet X will sweep through the universe and attack Earth. This attack will cause "violent winds, firestorms from the sky, and gigantic tidal waves." In addition, it will also cause the Earth to stop spinning for several days. After all of this chaos, the ice caps will melt and the world will become one giant ocean and all live will now be underwater. The Zetas have been nice enough to warn us of this catastrophic disaster as they have been keeping contact with humans, most notably Nancy Lieder, founder of the ZetaTalk Website, for some time now. The ZetaTalk website now defends there claim to an end of the world by saying it was part of their "white lie."

The Black Shuck
On the coast of Anglia in England roams a huge black beast, similar to that of a large dog, named the Black Shuck or Old Shuck. This carnivorous "hellhound" is said to have enormous glowing red eyes and long shaggy black hair. The legend of Black Shuck dates back to the Vikings where where he was seen roaming the Anglian countryside. An appearance by Black Shuck proves ill to the beholder, though just seeing him does not mean death.
The most famous siting of Black Shuck was on August 4, 1577 at the church of Bungay in Scuffolk. The dog burst through the back door of the church killing a man and his son. Upon leaving, Black Shuck left burn marks from his red eyes on the back door, which can still be seen today. Reverend Abraham Fleming (1577) gives his account of that day:
"This black dog, or the divel in such a linenesse (God hee knoweth al who worketh all,) runing all along down the body of the church with great swiftnesse, and incredible haste, among the people, in a visible fourm and shape, passed between two persons, as they were kneeling uppon their knees, and occupied in prayer as it seemed, wrung the necks of them bothe at one instant clene backward, in somuch that even at a mome[n]t where they kneeled, they stra[n]gely dyed."

How to Dedicate your Soul to Satan
So I came across this fantastic website called the Joy of Satan, which is a site dedicated to the worship of Satan. It provides many insightful pieces of wisdom on Satanism such as its origins, Satan's sermons, exposing Christianity, joining Hell's Army, and of course how to dedicate your soul to Satan.
This process begins with a very personal formal ritual. The site gives you a list of necessary items to preform this ritual including one or more black, blue, or red candles, a sterilized razor or needle, a piece of clean paper, and a dry pen. The first step is to copy the prayer down on your piece of paper. The prayer is as follows:
"Before the almighty and ineffable God Satan/Lucifer and in the presence of all Demons of Hell, who are the True and the Original gods, I, (state your full name) renounce any and all past allegiances. I renounce the false Judeo/Christian god Jehova, I renounce his vile and worthless son Jesus Christ, I renounce his foul, odious, and rotten holy spirit. I proclaim Satan Lucifer as my one and only God. I promise to recognize and honor him in all things, without reservation, desiring in return, his manifold assistance in the successful completion of my endeavors."
After writing down the prayer, the person needs to bathe, as a sign of respect. Then, light your candles. Now take your needle or razor and cut your left index finger. Sign your name in blood at the bottom of the prayer. Finally recite the prayer aloud, fold the paper and let it burn in the candles. Now many stay on until the candles go out to meditate, but this is not mandatory. Before leaving say the words, "so mote it be" and "Hail Satan!"

Flesh Eating Bananas! ahh!
A recent internet chain letter claimed that the bananas imported from Costa Rica have been infected with a flesh eating bacteria known as necrotizing fasciiti. The letter claims that this disease is able to "graft" itself into the fruits of this region, specifically bananas. The local monkey population has been destroyed by this terrible epidemic.
The warning goes on to say that you should not buy bananas for the next two to three weeks to allow the CDC to recall all infected bananas and get this situation under control. If you have eaten a banana in the past two days and have come down with a fever or skin infection seek medical attention immediately. They also provide do-it-yourself care if you live more than an hour away from a hospital: burn your skin ahead of the infection to prevent spreading. Oh and this was issued by the Manheim Research Institute, Center for Disease Control in Atlanta Georgia.

The Mad Gasser
In August of 1944 mass hysteria hit the town of Mattoon, Illinois. A prowler was loose, a tall gangly man dressed in black with carrying a flit gun was attacking the homes of many. The first victims were Mr. and Mrs. Urban Raef. They claimed to be weak and nauseated and when Mrs. Raef went to check to see if she left the gas stove on, she couldn't move. Later that night, another report was filed, this time by a young mother whose daughter suffered from serious coughing fits and that she couldn't get out of bed. The initial response to the gasser was one of robbery. After the first two incidents, about a half a dozen more sighting were reported, though no evidence was ever found. Also, none one could give a good description of the gasser.
Hysteria continued and people claimed spotting footprints or tears in window screens. A month later, the police had received so many false alarms of the Mad Gasser that they lessened their search and claimed that it they were explainable occurrences that got out of hand by a few scared citizens. After the police lessened their search, the number of reports also diminished. Chief of Police C. E. Cole later announced that the Mad Gasser was entirely fictional and that the reported incidents had been triggered by a local chemical spill in an industrial waste center.
Mass hysteria raged rampant in Mattoon, Illinois. After one incident, most people become alarmed and look for things that seem abnormal and let their imagination wander. This was one of those situations.

The How revised
I am pro life. There are numerous events and circumstances that shaped my opinion. I will first begin by saying that I was not always of this belief. I spent two and a half years of high school constantly struggling against the values I grew up with. My parents and I would argue every night over dinner about religion and friends. However, I was still forced to attend church with my family every Sunday night, even though I claimed agnosticism. This rebellion continued on to the topic of abortion and my stance on it. Both my parents, but especially my mom, are believers in the pro-life cause. This issue came up several times when my parents and I would talk, but only now when I go home and have another great discussion do I actually realize that they were right the entire time. This rebellious phase quickly changed into acceptance and trust in my parents and their beliefs. The base of my stance on abortion comes from three distinct sources: the Catholic Church, my best friend Sara, and my parents and the community in which I live.
I am a Catholic and agree with the stance my church takes on abortion. I do not blindly follow all of the Catholic Church’s opinions or take everything it says as honest and true. I am dedicated to my faith and feel strongly about being known as a person of faith. Therefore, it is important to be educated on the church’s viewpoints. I will research their stance and then make an educated decision on whether or not I am in accordance with the church’s view.
During my junior year in high school, my best friend and her boyfriend made a few bad decisions and she got pregnant. Her initial reaction was one of anger, blame, and turmoil. She debated over whether or not she should get an abortion and decided that she should. She came to me after making her decision, as she did not want to upset me. I will never forget that day when she told me that she had an abortion. At the time I did not have a strong opinion on the subject. I thought abortion was wrong, however, in certain situations it was necessary. After that day, my opinion changed dramatically. The guilt and remorse that still haunts my best friend to this day has led me to the conclusion of supporting life. She was too afraid to ask anyone close to her for advice, especially her parents, thus resorting to drastic measures. My friend is no longer the strong, carefree girl I once knew. I cannot imagine how many other girls have gone through this exact situation and have become overly cautious.
My family and the community that I have grown up in is very conservative. At some point, most children, including myself, rebel from their parents’ beliefs. However, my parents and my social background have influenced my beliefs. I have grown up in a family where both my parents are strong conservatives. In addition to being one of four girls in my family, my mom finds it necessary to tell remind us, on a weekly basis, about the dangers and moral implications of abortion. This was hard for me to accept at first and I was also rebelling against my parents. I needed to experience life on my own and be able to make my own decisions about things before I realized that my parents were right.
I believe that most people make the same decision and share the same viewpoints as their family, friends, and the surrounding community. It is very easy to just follow the ways of your parents or an older mentor. I agreed with my friends who had strong opinion on certain subjects, just because I was unsure of myself. However, the end of my high school career enabled me to see past those loud voices and come to decisions on my own. My church, my friends, and my parents on many subjects influence me.

The first two and a half years of high school were spent in a constant struggle against the values I grew up with. The beginning stage of this struggle was a blind disagreement with everything that once seemed right. My parents and I would argue every night over dinner about topics such as school, friends, and religion. They would mostly be friendly arguments, as my parents felt it necessary to debate topics that I found wrong. However, I was still forced to attend church with my family every Sunday night, even though I claimed agnosticism. This is was bothered me the most about my parents, the fact that we could have a stimulating discussion on certain topics, but that I was still forced to take part activities that clearly favored their view point. This rebellion continued on to the topic of abortion and my stance on it. Both my parents, but especially my mom, are avid believers in pro life. So, one can assume on what I had just finished telling you, that I decided that I was pro choice. This issue came up several times when my parents and I would talk, but only now when I go home and have another great discussion do I actually realize that they were right the entire time. This rebellious phase quickly changed into acceptance and trust in my parents and their beliefs.

I am a Catholic and agree with the stance my church takes on abortion. I do not blindly follow all of the Catholic Church’s opinions and take everything it says as honest and true. I have come around from rebelling from the church and opposing all of its viewpoints just because it’s what Catholics believe to making educated decisions about issues that I find are important. I am dedicated to my faith and feel strongly about being known as a person of faith. Therefore, it is important to be educated on the church’s viewpoints. I will research their stance and then make an educated decision on whether or not I am in accordance with the church’s view.
During my junior year in high school, my best friend was impregnated by her boyfriend of six months. Her initial reaction was one of anger, blame, and turmoil. She debated over whether or not she should get an abortion and decided that she should. She came to me after making her decision, as she did not want to upset me. I will never forget that day when she told me that she had an abortion. At the time I did not have a strong opinion on the subject. I thought abortion was wrong, however, in certain situations it was necessary. After that day, my opinion changed dramatically. The guilt and remorse that still haunts my best friend to this day has led me to the conclusion of pro life. She was too afraid to ask anyone close to her for advice, especially her parents, thus resorting to drastic measures. My friend’s entire personality has changed since this event. She is no longer the strong, carefree girl I once knew. She questions her every decision and constantly needs reassurance that she is doing the right thing. I cannot imagine how many other girls have gone through this exact situation turning out to be insecure and afraid women.
The family I have grown up in and the community that I have lived in is very conservative. At some point in time, most children rebel from his or her parents’ beliefs. I was part of the “most” kids. However, my parents and my social background have had very strong influence in what I believe today. I have grown up in a family where my dad is strongly conservative and has been his entire life. My mom, on the other hand, was a liberal working for Senator Ted Kennedy in her youth, but as she gets older she has progressively become more conservative. As this may be the case with most adults, my mom completely opposes all things she once advocated. In addition to being one of four girls in my family, my mom finds it necessary to tell remind us, on a weekly basis, about the dangers and moral complications on abortion. This was hard for me to accept at first and I was also rebelling against my parents. However, now that I am a little bit older and more experienced in life, I believe that my parents’ views and my own views are very similar. I needed to experience like on my own and be able to make my own decisions about things, before I finally realized that my parents were right.
I believe that most people make the same decision and share the same viewpoints as their family, friends, and the surrounding community. It is very easy to just follow the ways of your parents or an older mentor. Most people can be easily swayed by a strong voice or a compelling argument. I was part of that many in high school. I jumped on the bandwagon, as they say, with many topics. I agreed with my friends who had strong opinion on certain subjects, just because I was unsure of myself. However, the end of my high school career enabled me to see past those loud voices and come to decisions on my own. My church, my friends, and my parents on many subjects influence me.

Holocaust Revisionism
After searching the web for about twenty minutes trying to find a site that denied the holocaust, I hit jackpot at www.codoh.info.html. The Committee for Open Debate of the Holocaust (CODOH) has many interesting articles and accounts of what "really" happened during WWII. There is a very interesting question and answer page that allows viewers to ask a question about anything Holocaust related and have it answered. The question and answer that I found most intriging was titled What happened to Europe's Jews. The "anwerman" as he so calls himself claims that during the WWII era, 1930-1940, "hundreds of thousands of Jews left Germany." This is saying that the Holocaust did not cause the murders of these hundreds of thousands of Jews, but that they did not get murdered at all. They simply moved away.
Another very intersting thing I found was that they tell the readers that the Simon Wiesenthal Center airbrushed in smoke for the picture showing the Auschwitz -Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1944. They stated that the crematoria does not emit such smoke and that it was not used to burn bodies. They further go on to say that, "In this ludicrous and fraudulent artwork the "smoke" appears to be coming from a fence post."

UFO Believers
http://www.ufo-blog.com/ufo-blog/index.htm
As I was surfing the web trying to find a believer in UFOs, I stumbled upon this UFO Blog that allows bloggers to give her first hand account of a UFO sighting. After the blogger shares his account, the website founder responds to their account and provides credibility with past experiences and years of research. There were numerous accounts on this site in places all over the country, all with similiar reports. However the one that struck me the most was of a siting in Bondad, Colorado.
The believer claims to have been driving home from a day at work in Aztec, New Mexico and his car was suddenly pushed down by intense "wind pressure" from the object outside. He slowed his car down from 60 to 35 mph to get a better look at the "bright light" that flashed above his car. He said it could not have been a jet as he drives a 2500 Dodge Diesel truck and that it is not an easily affected car. His truck "literally almost bounced" as the flash of light flew overhead feeling as though "it went through a huge ditch." However, he later states that the road was new and did not have any ditches. In addition, he claims that because of its speed and the fact that no noises were made, it could not have been a jet.
I have always thought that UFO siting were humorous as I am a skeptic. This is just one of hundreds of first hand accounts of strange happenings. The reader has nothing to base this on except the word of the blogger. I don't know the believer's name, background, education, or anything that can prove his credibility. As of now, I am still a skeptic.

Encounters I Didn't Understand
I was at Six Flags Magic Mountain over the summer with three of my friends. It was 98 degrees and disgustingly hot. As we were standing in line buying tickets a bus pulled up and about 20 people dressed as clowns got out of the bus. They had the face paint, the huge shoes, the works. They got in line to buy tickets as well. We asked them why they were dressed as clowns and they simply replied why not. My friends and I saw them at least five other times during the day and the last time we saw them all their face paint was coming off and they look tired and wore out. I didn't understand why anyone would want to spend a day at Six Flags as a clown.
