I have many favorite quotes, but the one that came to my mind first was, "You're only as strong as your weakest player"  I don't know who its by because I saw it on Facebook.  We used this quote a lot in basketball, because it is so true!  If somebody isn't on their game, it brings everyone down. When someone is struggling and turning over the ball, and having a bad attitude it effects the WHOLE team huge!  My coach used to push us to make free throws, because seriously, free throws win games, but if our posts were having a hard time that game, and couldn't make anything, our coach was upset, which made the players upset, which made the opponents excited, which made us frustrated, which made our game off, which made us lose.  But if one player steps up and gets intense, it makes another player excited, and then our game more accurate, which made us more confident, which made our coach happy, which made us win.  "You are only as strong as your weakest player.

What do we need to do to encourage less fast food and more fruits and vegetables?  I truly believe that we need to get rid of all the junk food choices, that we can, like in schools, and day cares, and anywhere you can, without taking away peoples rights.  I think by putting how much fats, calories, sodium, and cholesterol, next to all the horrible junk food choices on the menus at all the fast food restaurants, people would realize what they are feeding their bodies.  I also think that there should be a lot more healthy choices on fast food menus.  People like going to fast food restaurants because their food is quick, but there are a lot of healthy choices that are just as quick to make, rather than old hamburger meat, deep fried everything, and rewarmed grub they didn't sale the night before, they could serve more fruit parfaits, more non-deep fried vegetables, and serve more baked items.  They can make them taste just as good as any unhealthy, deep fried, artery clogging crap.  I just think people have to want to change their eating habits.  Somebody else can't change someone else's mind.

I think a little bit of both rehabilitation and punishment is the way to go for criminals.  Rehab could help them realize that what they were doing was wrong, and make them realize that there are ways they could be helped.  You can't help someone get clean, or change their ways unless they want to be helped. 

By punishing criminals, they realize, hopefully, that the punishment they get every time they get in trouble, is going to suck.  I think the punishments should be a lot more harsh, and they need to be fallowed through.  If we don't go through with what we say, they're not going to care if they get in trouble because they know they will lesser the consequences.  I think we should have to deal with the maximum consequence we are sentenced to, for the crime we commit. 

By using a little bit of both, we could better the mind of criminals that don't care about harming themselves or anybody else.

I think the best superpower to have as a president would be to be able to snap their fingers and get whatever they want.  If we were in war and we were being dominated he or she could just snap their fingers and make it so that we were in power and all of our problems were solved.  He could snap his/her fingers and get our country out of debt.  A lot of our problems are because of the debt we are in.  If we had money to help all the schools out with funds for books and sports and clubs and whatever else we need money for he would be able to snap his fingers and give us the money.  He could help us be able to go on educational, fun, interesting field trips.  He could help all the sick, ill people get back on their feet.  He would be able to have all the drug addicts that are too worthless and careless to work, be able to stop with their addiction and get a good job and change all their nasty habits. By our president having the ability to snap his fingers and help our country out with all of our problems, we just might have a caring, nice, less worthless, less lazy country!!(:
