Equal Rights Amendment

I think that the equal rights amendment is necessary but not.  Many women want this to be passed because it will finally be fact that women and men are completely equal.  I think that would be great, but it seems that women and men are already equal.  Although some jobs still pay men more than women, it's only by fractions.  There is nothing really against women today, but I think that women want this passed because it will law that they are treated and respected as equals.

Was Jackie Robinson the greatest civil rights figure?

I think that it would be a stretch that say that Jackie Robinson was the greatest civil rights figure during the civil rights movement.  Jackie Robinson was definitely a very influential person during this time, but there were others that I believe to have made a better impression.  Jackie Robinson broke the boundaries of baseball with his strong mind and great game skills.  He was an excellent player on the baseball field and for the civil rights movement.  He always knew exactly what he needed to do.  He was most likely one of the biggest figures to be for nonviolent resistance, along with Martin Luther King, Jr. and various other figures at the time.  He was definitely an excellent civil rights figure, but not as important as others who played a much larger role during this time period.

Yooks and Zooks

So the General Yook and the General Zook

Both stared each other down.

And held each  Big-Boy Boomeroo nuke

Directed towards the opposite town.

And they stood for hours and days on end

While the Yooks and the Zooks stayed in their holes.

And for their buttering rights they stood to defend

Against their stubborn souls.

So they stood and they stood

And then stood some more.

Each wondering "If they should.."

Should start the war.
