What is the most dangerous question you can ask?

I would have to say that a dangerous question that you could ask someone is “Would you like to know the exact date and time of your death?”  I would ask this because some people would like to know this because they would like to do the things that they had planned to do over their lifetime but never got around to doing it.  Others might say that they would rather not know because knowing would just scare them and they would rather it be unexpected.

If the Electoral College was abolished, and people directly elected the President, what should the qualification be to vote in a Presidential Election?

I would have to say that the qualifications for voting rights is that the person should be smart but there should be some average people allowed.  By doing this it would enable the president to be picked by what they plan to do and not what other people say about that person.  Just like last election, some people picked president Obama based on his race, that shouldn’t be the reason why.  The reason behind picking Obama should have been what he is going to do for the people.

In this post I will be telling the story through the eyes of one of the Cherokee Indians that went through the suffering.

I was a restpected man in my tribe and the government took that away from me and my family.  We were to leave our home and find a new place in the relocation territories of the indian territories that the government set for us.  This happened because the government wished to trade the Indian territory for the land that we posessed, but this was never accecpted by us and the government took that land from us.  I had to take my things and my family and go to new land.  This was a long task and I had to transport my family across dangerous land.  We went through many hardships, such as: exposure, disease, and starvation.  Many of my people died in this process.  We were pressured into leaving because of the fact of the dispute that was on going in Georgia.  Although Jackson said that he was on the side of the people he was actuelly for this act.  On my way to my new home, there were many problems.  We had to deal with many weather difficulties.  There was a blizzard that came upon us and took many lives including the life of my wife.  When we approached our land, we were then safe there, but that was just the beginning there is no telling what could happen to my tribe next.
