Santa Clause Drivers License
1,250 words
Jules de Gaultier stated, Imagination is the only
weapon in the war against reality. I think the war
against reality is the process of aging and
imagination is our naivet that shields us from the
frightening world. By imagining that situations
will never be uncomfortable; girls will never
experience heartbreak; men will always have jobs
to support their families; and people will never
become sick, we are setting our selves up for a
slap in the face when, inevitably, we are forced
to notice how t...

maintain the Treaty of Versailles. This frustrated
Germany from the start, because they felt as
though their honor was robbed from them. Later on,
the League did not even notice the country
reassembling their military troops, something the
treaty outlawed. Trying to keep peace between
Germany and the rest of the world was a realistic
goal, but they simp...

Pee Wee Tim Burton

Although the typical layman would immediately
label him an oddball, those who are a little bit
more familiar with Tim Burton would say that he's
a beautiful mess. Burton was born August 25, 1958
in Burbank, California. He lived in typical
suburbia, along with his brother and parents,

make the punishment for drunk driving fit the
deadly serious crime that it is. If America is
serious about putting an end to drunk driving, the
first thing we must do is to stop calling it an
"accident." When someone decides to get drunk and
then get behind the wheel of a car, it is anything
but accidental. It is a deliberate act of
irresponsibility that often ends in unspeakable
violence. Drunk d...

France And Britain War Reparations

The crumbling of Western culture after World War I
mirrored how the global economy would as well.
After the War came what ultimately was the global
state of depression. This was in no means meant to

did. People were jobless, and some penniless.
There were dissatisfied nations dealing with terms
of treaties with which they had no agreement. The

it begin, the economic boom of the twenties came
grinding to a halt on that fateful day in October,
Black Tuesday. However, it is obvious that the
