Through her words‚ I felt that Uncle Joseph was a strong man that did not let anything bring him down. He stood up for what he believed. He always managed to help other people. For example he

Life is what you and you alone make of it! What is your view? I believe that we can make our lives into what we want them to become if we have enough drive and reserve to achieve our goals.

Should the government control access to information on the internet? No‚ I believe if government controlled what was on the internet it would be like the Nazi control all over again‚ where the people are not free and cannot express themselves. It would go against our freedom and be impossible to control. My vote would go to candidate three‚
