Day 5 - 20th Century

Hello Bloggers!

Horace Greeley again and this time I will be discussing what changes (or lack of changes) I hope for as America moves into the 1900’s and what I want America to look like.
To kick things off, I hope for equality throughout all races and genders. I don't want our species to see each other as different. I hope Whites, Blacks, Cherokee, etc. are all seen as family. Also, I really wish to see no difference between men and women. I believe strongly that women should be payed and/or treated no differently than a man should. Since I am a vegetarian, I strongly believe that most people should be vegetarians as well. Lastly, I would like to see an increase in the amount of people moving to the west (western colonization).
Based on the changes I have stated, I would love to see America look this in the 1900's (and beyond). I think equality throughout America would allow more success and a stronger unity amongst all people in the country. I fear that as the human population increases there will not be as much meat to provide for the amount of carnivores in the country, also becoming a vegetarian is healthy with the right diet. To finalize my response I would like to promote western colonization, I think we need more people to go towards the west to grow the population and develop the nation in the west.

Day 4 - Unions, Capitalism, Socialism

Today I am going to talk about unions, capitalism, and socialism. I am a supporter of unions because I believe in equality amongst all genders and unions help fight for the equality. I support both capitalism and socialism, however , I favor capitalism more. There are many aspects of socialism that I agree with but I think it needs to be reformed. For any of you folks that aren't sure - capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit - and - socialism is a political and economic theory of that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated.

See you around,

Horace Greeley

Day 3 - Muller v. Oregon

               
Muller v. Oregon 

Horace Greeley here to give my two cents about the Muller v. Oregon case. I am satisfied with the outcome in which woman labor laws were solidified. This gives women more protection in the work force! However, I am dissatisfied because it excluded women of color, food processors, agricultural workers, and white collar educated women. I am a strong supporter for equal rights and therefore am happy with the changes that were made.

My thanks goes out to Florence Kelley

Update

Tough week. I had a lot to edit in the New York Times! Can't wait until Monday.

Bryan's "Cross of Gold" - Day 2

Today, I listened to William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech. I politically support what Bryan had to say. I am a supporter of helping the less fortunate and I feel strongly for the cash-poor and debt-burdened farmers. I believe that endorsing the free coinage of silver at a ratio of silver to gold of 16 to 1 would help the country prosper. I think that having this will help our economy in the long run by increasing the amount of money in the circulation and overall boosting our economy.  The emotion and vivid metaphors that William Jennings Bryan uses helped prove his point and convinced me (and probably a lot of other people) to support his plan.

I just got my picture taken last week! I look'th great wouldn't thou say?

I waited for 10 minutes just to get one picture taken! Wouldn't it be great if they had cameras that could take many pictures in a few minutes. Ideas like these always come to mind as crazy as they are. Maybe someday we will see an invention like this.
