Us Mormons....we really are as shallow as the remaining US population


Every Utahn has heard of the infamous David Archuletta ( I don't even know how the crap he spells his name...sorry) and that he just placed second in the over popular American Idol crapola show. But did you know that he once, yes once was a kid that did actually go to high school in a normal place? Yet when he was attending Murray High in Utah, no one new him, he wasn't Mr. Popular and didn't have every girl reaching out for him, crying as he walked by. So......why now? He didn't change his personality, his looks, his charisma. This tells you how low Americans, and yes even the Holier than Thou Mormons are. He is now sought after for one sole reason....his fame. Now that he is known nation wide, people adore him, not that he will be raking in the dough, people think of him as some godlike figure. Murray has even dedicated a day out of the year as "David" day. So why does this seventeen year old pubescent boy get a day to him for singing and an entire parade thrown for him, while the police, firefighters and military personel get little recognition at all. I mean for crying out loud, Murray High canceld school so everyone could see their "little celeb" in the parade as he glided down Main waving like a prissy queen out of his limo. Give me a break. Money, Fortune and Fame sure bring people low, but I thought Utahns standards were not based on worldly aspects. Hmmmm...guess not.

Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto...?




Greetings Earthlings,







So imagine this picturesque scene. You have just been humbly born. You have begun your rigerous journey through life. You have a loving family and they incorporate you into thier daily routines. Memories of playing with your siblings and spending time with the ones you love. Having dail expierences that mold and define you as a human. Being able to accomplish things that other people only tried to do, and getting recognition for it. Enjoying life as a human being is essential for growth. Then all of the sudden you are told one day from a "commitee" that you are not human. You are only kinda human...this is obviously preposterous!!! This fatal accusation has befalled one of our heavenly objects. Pluto is no longer a planet. When i heard this ridiculous proclamation i wanted to vomit in sadness! I remember the classic science fairs in which i would create a small diorama of our humble solar system. I would eagerly tell the judge all about my favorite planet. "this is pluto," i would explain! "its the farthest and coldest planent in our solar system! Its my favorite cause its so small and cold, like a snowball!" my little prepubescent voice would say. Well all those happy memories have been shot in the face! I personally believe a planet cannot have its prestigious title ripped from it like a hard to get booger or an unwanted wart! Now all the science books proclaming the last planent in our solar system have to change. And while were at it we might as well make evolution part of the ciriculum as well. Needless to say i would like to seriously talk to the "commitee" about how they decide on what qualifies a planet to be a planet. In the meanwhile i will continue to believe that Pluto is a planet and will teach my future generation that it is the BEST one out there!







Pluto is a planet regardless how small it is!!!!







Thanks
