minding his own business‚ no one could have suspected he was a soon-to-be villain. But people must remember that these are martyrs for their cause. They feel they are doing the right thing by killing people and their people idolize and label them as heroes. Another example of this is ’chopper’ Reed.

The Medici; Heroes of the Renaissance In the year 2004‚ PBS broadcasted the series‚ “Medici; Godfathers of the Renaissance”.

fix-all is something that intrigues me. People have made claims that a single change within our education system would lead to a monumental change that would place us amongst the top countries in terms of our education system. In the Waiting for Superman movie‚ a claim is made that if we were to remove the bottom 6-10% of bad teachers in the work force our education system would automatically become good enough to contend with Finland. A claim by the PISA reviewers in the book the smartest kids in
