Are there ' any failures in our democractic form of government? None whatsoever. Our government is flexible enough to accomodate moderate change to perfect failure, yet strong enough to maintain justice. The fear between the U.S. and the S.U. will always exist inter- nally. Externally a friendship may evolve but there will always be a paranoid factor. This does not mean, however, that nuclear war is inevitable. The arms race is inevitable. With this balance of power each nation feels safer. The buildup is each nation's safety blanket. We only feel comfortable when we know that we could compete ina nuclear war. Ultimately the arms race will end due to the discovery of a perfect offense and defense. Tony Martinez, 12 A democratic form of government operating in a nation this size has the obvious liability that it cannot satisfy all the people at one time on any one particular issue. Other than that, it's great! Really! As long as there is the threat of annihilation and fear between superpowers, there will be no war. Com- plete trust can never be achieved, but perhaps complete destruction can be avoided as well. I supposea balance of power is as good. a deterrent as anything else, and nuclear war has not occurred in the forty-year history of the bomb, so why mess with a ggJodlghinF'? 2 , ave ava os, 1 The failures of our government, although partially inherent, are also a result of our own apathy. Pressure groups and special interest goups often get their way because they scream the loudest while the majority looks on and yawns. Our own uncaring is the greatest flaw in our system. Nuclear war is not inevitable., The threat of complete destruction of the human race is enough of a deterrent to keep the countries of the world from pushing the button. ' , . Lisa Grant, 12 g Courage isldoing something with all odds against you, defeat probable, and yet continuing to do it. Also, doing God's will unquestionably. I ' Michael Fantus, 9 . Fighting a losing battle, that is all courage is. I Daniel Pino, 9 Courage is being able to stand up for what you believe in without worrying about the consequences, or your opponent. , - Brian Brown, 11 Courage is letting your mind be so overwhelmed by purpose, that there is no room for fear. ' Dale Scott, 11 Courage is facing your worst fears and not running away from them. Deborah Jeanson, 11 Courage is a virtue by which one acts in spite of great fear. Mr. Robert Greenburg, Math Courage is being able to approach anything of physical, emotional, or men- tal existence without fear or lack of enthusiasm. Stacy Hayes, 9 Courage is having enough faith in yourself, to be yourself, without worry- ing about what other people think. Traci Thomas, 12 Courage is being 'able to handle the things set before yoii without runningf iiiiti ' away. Susan Charbonneau, 10 Courage is doing what needs to be done, even if you are afraid. Denise Nites, 10 Strength in the face of adversity . . . not being afraid of being weak. That is what courage is. ' A Lisa Mims, 9 'X ul-think courage is standing up for what you believe in. Also, no matter what the odds are, going for it. Courage is also doing what you feel is right. Melissa ilippus, 10 andtalk
