ASB Elections

So, I really need to find my own blog ideas...

but here we go, ASB elections today. Kind of a running theme for the elections are "I won't do anything that I can't promise, I won't bore you with my speech, and I am going to make our class the best yet"

Well my reply, bull crap, fail, and how?

ASB is the associated student body, it's organized to represent the students. I agree with our president-elect about making advisory classes have representatives. ASB is something that I was a part of in 6th grade, I was president by non-opposition, which I dont know how to take that... I'm still not sure that if I ran anyone would've voted for me.

I had corney slogans and all of that and gave the same speech as everyone did today. All speeches follow the same pattern, and I think we need to branch out. So here is my "too late to run for ASB president speech"

Hello Kent-Meridian, my name is Tyler Walker. I'm kind of the name without a face. I have dedicated my self to the Future Business Leaders of America, Royals Week in Review, the Student Technology Educational Partnership, and the Debate club. Many people know me was a geek, or nerd; mostly because I get excited about technological things that no one would. I am going to tell you the major things that I would like to achieve for next year. First, we have many clubs at our school; many of which that are somewhat cut off from other groups. I would like to create a "club" that has all of the groups presidents and one member from each group to give presentations about what that group is doing once a month either afterschool or during 5th/6th period.
Leadership is one thing that is required in a business, because high school is supposed to teach us most of what we need to know for the rest of our lifes."

You know what, I'm done with that because I have more to say.

One of the things that pisses me off, is that great ideas, and great people are silenced by ignorance.

I'm not going to say that "I am great" because that is arrogant, but in my debate class we are doing "student congress" which is when the class debates on topics around a table and votes on them. Most of mine which are very intellegant and are worth implementing. One was using a structured class room order, similar to parlimentary procedures. Everyone shot it down because... "I used big words" the other one I am suggesting is "Network Neutrality should be implemented as law".

A summary of it is that big internet providers, like comcast want to start playing with our internet. Their goal is to make a layered (tiered) internet that makes faster internet for sites that pay a tax to them. They want to play the gatekeepers of the internet. First, the tiered internet isn't just for people who make websites. If you are going to get this faster connection to the websites that pay for faster speeds... you have to pay also.

Bottom line, we need to make sure that the government makes sure big cable companies don't screw with our connections.
