2 Articles That Strike Close To Something I Care About

I have so much that I want to say about this article, but I'll keep it short. It seems bizarre to me that someone so dedicated to running and making themselves physically and mentally healthy could be so insane. Breaking four minutes for the mile is an absolutely incredible accomplishement. Even today only 5 highschool kids have done it.

I can definitely see some of his character flaws though as well. As a runner myself, I know it is extremely depressing to accomplish something amazing while you're young and never be able to do it again. Runners survive and prosper off of the feeeling of constant improvement and progression, as do human kind in general. He probably had a very strong hope of getting at least one gold medal in the olympics for the mile, and not doing it probably destroyed him.

I also believe one of his biggest flaws was online dating and living with someone you're not married too. I think that can create huge relationship disorders and untrusting relationships that can, just like this one, turn exremely bad at any second. You can see where some of these things have led him to.

I can assure that he is more depressed now than ever. For someone who is used to that much excersice and freedom, being locked up and not beig able to ever see the sun must be horrible. it was also probably realing depressing for him when he broke the arch in his foot and was no longer able to run. All these things put together probably led to the depressed, suicidal man we see today.

I have to agree on the fact that I do not think it was entirely the medias fault why Romney didn't win. I think most of it can be blamed on politics and the faults we face as a people. I think it was obvious to see that Romney would have been better for our economy and government. I believe he destroyed Obama in the presidental debates and that the democratic debate officials were bias and greatly helped Obama in them. While I believe he should've talked more about the two things you suggested, I also believe that anyone who actually would have taken the time to research the two candidates would have seen those things and realized that Romney was the right choice very quickly.

I believe that one of the main reasons Romney didn't win was the faults of man. These include racial discrimination and the want of money.  Many of the people who voted for Obama just wanted his free welfare and hand outs. What they don't realize is that if Obama continues to take from the rich and give to the poor more peopel are going to become lazy and eventually  Obama is going to have nothing left to give. Especially if the economy crashes and businesses go under.

The second part of this is that polls show that nearly ninety percent of african american ppeople voted for Obama and I think that parts pretty self-explanatory. I think that if people really studied the election and wanted what was best for the American people as a whole that the election would have greatly sided Romney.
