Me saying what I am about to say may seem racist or discrimitive, which is not my intentions at all. I am just telling it how it really is and how it should be. One of my best friends from Dallas is hispanic and he was telling me about how he was a National Hispanic Merit Scholar. I started to look into this because I found it amusing that there was a group a merit scholars that were strictly latino. Colleges give scholarships to minorities just for being exactly that a minority. I mean is it really Constitutional to have these groups for only a certain race? If a group of white people got together and made a strictly white group and didn't allow african americans or latinos in it would be considered extremely racist and that group would be disbanded. Is it not in the Constitution that all people are created equal, therefore must be treated the same. Why should people of a certain race recieve a scholarship based on nothing but race? Its absolutely baffling to me. Minorities who were in search of equality yearned for fair treatment, they have fair treatment. Race should not be a factor in any decision, regardless of the category. It is simply wrong to have segregated groups like this in a country derived equality.

While doing my research paper over the weekend I was reading numerous sources about Richard Nixon. Of course the prompt was over epic flaws and his was struggle with power. It made me realize just how afwul power can be. Looking at the news and the history of the world when power comes to play it is anything goes. Power is an extremely hard thing to limit and control, it is a deadly extremely addictive. The thirst for power cannot be quenched, it is an unstopable force.

Think for a second about all the infamous names that come to mind when you think of power. Hitler, Castro, and Nixon, they are all aparent evil beings. What if they had never tasted the power in which they got transformed by, what if they had never tasted the beast that ruined them. Would Hitler be arguable the most awful being to walk the earth and would Nixon be the worst president in U.S. history? Power itself is not a bad thing, but controlling it is nearly impossible. It shaped some of the most evil people in the world's history and it will always be a main source of evil in the world.
