I believe peaceful resistance to laws positively impacts a free society. Peaceful resistance is a way to express your beliefs and protest potentially other harmful policies or laws.

One of my favorite places to just sit and stare in amazement is a baseball field. There is so much to look at and take in before during‚ and after a baseball game. When you first walk up to a nice baseball field it takes your breath away.

I’m not talking about your favorite store that’s gone out of business‚ a restaurant that’s closed down or a place that’s still here but out of your reach.

He slaps me on the hand and tells me how good the offense is looking. The many things he has instilled in his players appear to be coming together for at least four quarters. It?s about time we have suffered through four straight losses‚ and have barely put any points on the scoreboard all season. My coach brushes the few hairs that
