The Man Who Killed My Dog

When his dog Vicky was killed by a hit and run driver, Richard Josef wrote this letter to the newspaper.I hope you were going somewhere important when you drove so fast down the road on Tuesday night. Perhaps we'd feel better if we could imagine that you were a doctor crushing somewhere to deliver a baby or case somebody's pain. The life of our dog to shrten someone's suffering- that mightn't have so bad.

But even though all we saw of you was your car's shadow and its jumping tall lights we know too much about you to believe it.You saw the dog, you stepped o your rakes, you felt a thump, you heard a yelp and then my wife's scream. Your restless are good, we knew because you jumped on the accelerator again and got out fast.

You  didn't bother to look, so I'll tell you what the thump and the yelp were. They were Vicky, a six=month old Bessel puppy; white, with brown and black markings. An aristocrat, with 12 champions among her forebears, but she clowned and she chased, and she loved people and children and other dogs as much as any mongrel on the earth.

I am sorry you didn't stick around to see the job you did, though a dog dying the side of the road isn't a pretty sight. In less then two seconds you and that car of yours transformed a trying being that had been so beautiful, clean, soft and loving into something dirty, ugly and broken.

I hope to God that when you hit my dog you had for a moment the sick, dead feeling in the throat and down to the stomach that we have known since. And that you feel it whenever you think about speeding down a winding country road again.Because next time some eight year old boy might be webbing along on his first bicycle. Or a very little one might wander out past the gate and into the road in the moment in takes his father to bend down and pull out a weed, the way my puppy got away from me.Or perhaps you'll really be lucky again, and only kill another dog,and break the heart of another family.

Mysore Horse Park

He smiled softly and left the Mysore Horse Park that Sunday evening, the 8th

of June, with five medals- three gold, one silver and one bronze and the title of the best all- rounder in the country.Of course we will never know what went through the young Captain's mind that Sunday afternoon, he voiced a life-time wish of wanting to return to the Horse Park, just one more time.

A devilish fire claimed sixty lives in New Delhi's Uphaar Cinema on that terrible Friday the 13th june, 1997. The heroic life of Bhinder being one of sixty, not by fate, but by choice. Bhinder had a grand chance of escaping the anger of the fire, with his family, well versed as he was, in the knack of getting away from even worse situations.On Friday, when the fire surrounded the U phaar theater, Bhinder, who was there with his wife Jyoti Roop, four year old son Ruskin, and his junior Lt.Rajesh Pattu, sent Pttu to bring some help. He chose to stay in the fire, trying to help women and children out. His last words were to Pattu. He told him that he wanted to stay on. The family disappeared in the fire. Bhinder leaves his father sadar vardeep singh, mother and three sisters, God knows, Bhinder was young, had a lovely family and life full of promises. He had more reasons, than most of us, to live. He had a dream of winning a gold at the next

Asian games. One of the few riders to take part in the three events riding,

shooting and tent-pegging. It is indeed difficult to believe that he is no longer

with us. And that he'll never be, back at that Horse Park. Binder's death is

not just the loss of a champion sportsman, he will be remembered as a rare

soldier who sacrificed his life, so that others may live Good bye champ. Rest

in peace.

People Rule

  We do not say
  that a man who takes no interest in politics
  minds his own business;
  we say he has no business here at all.

"The Law" casts a large shadow over American life. Politics is part of that world since Congress makes, the President and his Administration enforce, and the courts interpret federal law. When each branch of government "checks and balances" the other, the system is functioning the way the founding fathers designed it.

Bitter disagreements can exist within, and between, the three branches.  It’s a world frequently characterized by high tension, short tempers and large egos. Americans have always heard about political clashes, and legal wrangling, in the daily news.

As long as government generally leaves people alone, Americans live their daily lives without thinking much about the system which holds the country together. But when government gets too intrusive, or imposes restrictions with which the people disagree, Americans have a long history of raising their collective voices.

In days past, how did people react when the long arm of the law touched their lives? Did they think the hand at the end of that arm was heavy? Interfering? Helpful? Unwanted?

To answer those questions, we can examine evidence like political cartoons and newspaper headlines. If we want to know how people lived, and what was important to them, we look at the record they left behind.

Let’s randomly examine some of the American record from the last 275 years. If you think law and politics is a rough profession now, take a snapshot view of what it was like then! And if you believe American activists are vocal now, think about how this country became independent!

Why People Move

It seems like world is becoming smaller and smaller almost by the minutes. When I was a child I could not imagine to meet someone from another part of the planet. However, now I have a few friends from Africa, I can meet many Chinese people on the streets, have dinner at a Mexican restaurant, buy some delicious cookies at a cafe run by the French. It is really wonderful and amazing to see people from all over the world, communicate and work with them. I agree with those people who move a number of times throughout their lives. However, I believe that people who spend their entire lives in one place have many advantages too. First of all, I will focus on the reasons why I support the idea about moving and then I will move on to analyzing the opportunities that people have staying at one place.

Personally, I think that the first and most obvious reason to move from one place to another is to see the world. Of cause, this can be obtained by traveling. Nevertheless, traveling does not give the opportunity to immersed into traditions, customs and just the way of life of the country. It is like seeing beautiful looking boots on a show-window and does not try them on to see if they are comfortable.

The second reason for moving is the opportunity to gain new experience and knowledge. One can meet new people and new friends, extend one's range on interests. Also, one can find a better job, life conditions and even climate. For example, my husband like warm and sunny weather. So his dream is to live here in Texas a half of the year and move to Australia for another half of the year to catch warm months. One more example, my aunt does not feel good in sultry and humid weather. So she had to move several times to find a place where she feels comfortable.

From the other side, this way of life has some disadvantages. For instance, it is difficult to make a good career if one is constantly moving. Of cause, it does not concern celebrities on their tours. Also, it is not good for children because they will have to change their schools a few times.

Staying in one place has a plenty of advantages too. I must confess that I am closer to the people who do not move much. I prefer to have a permanent home with my old and favorite things, have a dog and a beautiful view from the window.

In conclusion, I think that every person is always looking for something better than he already has. So, if people live in one place through their entire lives it means that they are looking for something else.

The World Zoo

I think that the question about whether a zoo has no useful purpose is the one that is open for debate. It is a topical question nowadays. Some people believe that a zoo has an essential and cognitive purpose. However, other people believe that a zoo has no useful purpose and people should observe wild animals in their nature. Personally, I think that both options have their advantages. In the following paragraphs I will analyze these points and present my own view in favor of people who think that
animals should not be kept in a zoo.

From the one side, a zoo has many benefits for people. First of all, children can learn about animals not only from books and TV programs but from actually watching them alive. They can see animals, touch them and even feed them. I think it is an amazing experience for a child. He gains more knowledge and experience
from this "communication" with an animal. Second of all, a zoo is a perfect place for adults to see many animals that people are not able to see in their lives.

However, from the other side, I keep asking myself "What kind of
benefits wild animals have from a zoo?". Unfortunately, I can not find any of them. I think that wild animals should live in their nature environment. Moreover, I think that we should observe them through TV programs sitting in our favorite chairs, or people who like danger should try to observe them in the native environment. I think that animals are not toys. I know that most
zoos try to keep their animals in the environment which is close to their native, but they can not give them as much freedom as animals want to.

I hope all like to visit zoo.I have written about zoo i hope all will like.To sum up, I think that wild animals should not be kept in a zoo. Personally, I enjoy more watching "Discovery Channel" then watching a black bear who does not know where to hide from the scorching sun in a Texas zoo. I hope all are watching.

World Dancing

Dancing is one of the ancient means of communication. People of every country have their own national music and dances. In old times people perform special rituals to make bad spirits go away and ask gods for fertile soil, good harvest, health and good weather. So, dancing plays an important role in a culture. Moreover, dancing of a particular country reflects its traditions, customs and history. In the following paragraphs I will give my reasons to support my answer.

First of all, the reason why dancing of a particular country is so unique because many art forms are put together. People need music, costumes, singers to perform, players and of cause dancers. Each of these art forms is unique and singular for every country. In old times people gathered to celebrate or mourn and every occasion had its own music and costumes. For example, ancient tribes painted their faces with ugly and strange patterns, put on colorful clothes and make strange movements around the fireplace.

Second of all, dancing is a combination of body movements that are peculiar for every nation. People of different nations have different bodily movements because dancing is one of the first means of communication. People differently express their feelings such as happiness, sadness, joy and sorrow though movements of their bodies.

To sum up, I think that dancing keeps people's traditions alive through the ages.Dance yes, Love next,Dance yes, Love next
