Monday.

Hello, my friends,

    As I have stated before I'm working on my writing. And this blog is going to be a blog to help me work on my writing. So normally when I get home I'll write in my journal about my day. This helps because I'm able to reference what I did threw out the day. I hope this blog will be a reference for things happening in my life which you can relate to.

    Yesterday, my friend Gabriel and I went for a bus ride. We where on the bus going to the University of Washington District. All of a sudden there where three fare enforcement officers on the bus. Everyone on the bus had their tickets checked. When they where done checking the bus they where set up in formation: one in the back, one in the middle, and one in the front. There is nothing wrong with this formation. But it was intimidating. And I felt like I was being forced into submission. Everyone on the bus had paid their fare, everyone on the bus was quiet, and everyone on the bus was sitting down. I don't think it's necessary to make people or start shaping people who are doing nothing wrong. I also had a feeling of no one being able to be stronger than someone who works for the government. This is not consistent with the Declaration of Independence, meaning, we need to be able to protect ourselves. And we can't protect ourselves when we weigh one hundred and twenty pounds and every government official is around two hundred.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the government. We have the best people serving in our country. And we need to keep it this way. But I think we need to be more unified with our government so that we are not being usurped over by authority, but be in compliance with them. And if something happened on either side, the good would be able to protect itself and our country. We see this with decisions on laws. And we aren't able to protect ourselves because we don't have the power to do anything about it.

   The moral of this story is not to condemn anyone because they could have gotten together afterwards and said, we need to improve ourselves. But we live in the greatest times of our lives. There are many generations going to be growing up. And we need to get things right.

Thank you,
Christopher J. Monson
