Patriot's Pen

Authors Note:  Everybody has their opinion on what the bes country is in the world.  All those
Opinions will sum upto equal on gigantic argumant.

Are you proud of your country?  This country is easily in the conversation for the best country in the world.  There are many categories you have to look at to decide the best country.  Those categories include government, people happiness, all the money that country has, and the military they have.
           
Overall the United States of America has a well established government.  Ever since the U.S. government was formed in 1776 we have been running a well steamed train to a successful country.  One of the advantages of our government is all the communications.   Our government makes a lot of jobs to help the economy and make people happy. 
           
The people in the USA are probably happy with our progress of the country over the years.  So many people aren’t as lucky as us in the world and we don’t normally appreciate that we are one of the freest countries in the world.  Another reason to be happy is all the recourses that we have access to.  Some countries don’t even have clean water to drink. In order to get all those recourses you need one common thing, money.
          
The US is extremely in dept, even though it is possible that the US will never be out of dept you never know what will happen with money.  Some people think that the people pay too much money towards taxes, and that the government isn’t spending the tax money how some people want it.  One problem with the US money system is that because of inflation some people don’t get paid enough money to live a good life.  In order to have enough money to have a good government you need a military to protect it.
           
The US military has a very high reputation of saving people in other countries.  With that reputation we have comes a lot of respect. In the old day people would just get randomly recruited to the military.  Now they have to volunteer to go to the military.  Some countries might think that our military isn’t good, but it’s perfect for us. 
           
The USA is certainly one of the best countries in the world.  If there was ever a voting for the best country in the world I would certainly vote for the USA.

Baseball essay

Authors Note- I hope that this writing piece will help you think about the important decisions of baseball. This story was made to honor the baseball players that make the right decision and not going for all the money.


If you were a baseball player what team would you be on?  Would you be an average player on the richest team?  Or would you be on a poor team and have an upset season.  Maybe you would even be an average player on an average team.  The best one to me is being on an average player on a rich team.

If you were on a bad team and had a really good season.  If that happened you would easily be MVP.  Just because of you your team might win it all.  The downside to that is that your teammates won’t get as much credit.  Maybe if you chose that you could be on a team like Kansas City or maybe on Houston.  Sometimes you don’t want to be that much of a star though.

Then how about being an average player on a decent team.  You might win the World Series, and you might not.  You never know what will happen. Your whole team is just okay compared to a really bad team except for you.  Sometimes though, you want to be on a winning team.

Even if you have an average season your team is rich.  Because your team is rich odds are you will win the World Series.  You might not be a MVP or an overrated player, but that might be a good thing to some people.  I would be happy with a World Series ring if I was on that team.

Maybe there are probably many other possibilities as well.  You could do anything you wanted.  Just because you might not like the choices I had doesn’t mean there is something else out there.
