Journal Entry 5

If I had the responsibility to place 1 million dollars in what ever projects I see necessary I would choose to place it in educational facilities. It is a morose thought that there are places in the world where children must go without free education. Intelligence is a gift given to human beings and it should only be our right to be able to learn freely. How would you feel if you had to idledly stand by and watch other children who are already more gifted than you are gain even more luxuries than you. As the constitution states,"All men are created equal." it's unfortunate that this statement is not true to this day. In addition, if everyone could have the opportunity to be thought we, as a civilization, would become much stronger and more advanced. Anyone could walk out and have an intelligent conversation with some one on the street that'd already be great progress. If we were to ever be visited by an advanced civilization they would respect us in our efforts to gain knowledge. However, as of now we remain nothing but a laughing stock of the universe with our greedy ways.
