Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now, some of you are wondering "Why would anyone want to read your essays???"
well reason is, is that every essay I have done has made at th eleast a 95 and never lower. many of my teachers and professors find reading my essays very very entertaining, and so here I will post some of my essays...maybe to help inspire you for any upcoming essays you have at school or maybe just so you can see my work.

the first one I am posting is, by far, the best (that I have still available).
The topic was to write, from the prespective of a man(woman) from back in the 1800s about how you, IN THE 1800s, found the Industrial revolution. was it helpful? or was it a menace?

and so here it is:

The Revolution of Slavery

At about the same time as the dawning of our minds, the time they opened to new thoughts such as freedom and the realization of the existence of the oppressive government. The time where we revolted against the iron-fisted rulers of our countries, we almost immediately found ourselves in a new revolution. This revolution we are in didn’t rapidly burst into extremist parties filled with the thoughts of cleansing the land by cleansing supposed “loyalists” of their heads. This revolution we are in is a revolution that does the opposite of cleansing. And in this revolution, our leaders of our countries have been taken down again, but not by a guillotine, not by a blade, or a knife hidden behind ones back. No, the government has been overthrown by Big-Business.
In the mid-to-late eighteenth century, a most profound, yet so useful, invention was born. The power of blackened-earth was burned and created energy, and this energy was more than any farmer could put out within a days work.
This invention could have fueled a happier world, but people have become greedy with their “free” minds. This “steam engine”, innocent at first, was used like a slave to solve every energy problem there was in our lives, especially the need of more energy and greater speeds to move from one point to another.
The steam engine was placed into a heavy carriage that they called a train. When I first head of this “train” I was captivated by it. It wasn’t a menace to our lives until it found that it couldn’t go on bare earth. Instead, it required iron tracks. These tracks were slammed into the earth by a mighty hammer that the old Greeks might have thought it was a gods weapon.
Still, the worse if the train hadn’t come yet. Its tracks ran throughout our countries soil, but it was not satisfied with how much of our country that is had eaten, and so the people fed it. Day by day, hour after hour, hammer blow after hammer blow, hundreds of people who’s free minds had been taken away from the train because they were so infatuated by it, and so hey gave into the trains demands and in turn had become the slaves. The slaves of the train fed it, and they fed it with a silver spoon. The expanse of the tracks grew and grew to the point that it ate farming communities whole and in turn, those villages that survived, exploded into large cities with low set, grey skies and small brown rivers. Our cities became the Black Plague itself, and were not kind to the people.
These cities churned out thick black clouds that came from large cylindrical towers. These new buildings called “factories” spewed and fed our crystal blue waters into a venomous serpent who had become angered. Where was our government to put forth the money to save us? They too had been eaten by this revolution, but by who?
Owners of the Black-Cloud blowing, water poisoning buildings became extremely profitable. The owners had become slaves to their own money, and this money went to helping the government, so where did our government go? They didn’t go anywhere but under a collar and a lash from these factory owners. Our government gave it’s power to the slaves of money. Was this not the reason we revolted during our years of a free mind, to rid ourselves of these greedy leaders? Why have we already lost our free minds?
Our government wants these factory owners to grow. Our government lights fires and dances around it singing as If it was a prayer to these factory “gods”. And so the factories grow, just as our government prays for. The owner wants more money to help this happen, and so they hire those who work cheapest.
The factory workers are slaves to the factory owner and are forced to stay as workers because, if they leave they can’t support themselves. But who is the biggest slaves to the factory owners? Women and children are.
Women, to the factory owners, are good for only two things; making them money, and giving them pleasure. They make these women work because the family needs money, but the factory owners are not generous, and so the money is small. Though the women are grateful for that money, the factory owner find them greedy and begins to work them more for less. In this revolution, our women have only become good for supporting families, and nothing else. But everyone in the family tries to support each other, even the children and factory owners enslave them too.
And so, we see that this revolution of technology and business has enslaved all of us and it is all because of this steam engine that was in turn, put the train into power where it captivated, then enslaved men to help it feed, so that then the small villages were destroyed so that Black-Clouded cities could grow. Slaves, we thought we people of war and people from Africa, but this revolution has proved that everyone and everything is a slave, all except the Money, where it carries a lash made of barbed wire and heated in one of these steam engines.

The Three Steps to Hating a Macintosh Computer

There are so many computers in this world today, but some people gave been tricked into getting the worst of the available selection of computers, and that is a Macintosh or now known as a iMac. These computers should be hated for many reasons; They are over priced incapable, and a disgrace to the PCs. But you say that you can’t get over how amazing iMacs are, and have become afraid of PCs because of their possible attacks from viruses. We call this PC-aphobia, the fear of PCs. So here is how to hate a Macintosh.
First, take a look at their price. The price is much higher than a PC of similar, if not the same, capabilities. These iMacs usually range from $1000 to $6000. Now don’t get coaxed into buying a iMac by all their fancy words used in their advertisements and their sleek design they use for their computers. These computers will just eat your memory away.
So let us look at a PC. It comes with a recent version of some sort of Operating System and comes with some great free-ware programs. Let us not forget their ability to play games, run software, and listen to music all the more capable than an iMac.
Now look at a iMac, where we see their sleek finish case in a thin bundle with an even sleeker looking operating system. But the creators took their time and money on the look rather than the performance. This sleek operating system eats up the RAM, which is the part of the computer that allows it to run smooth and fast, thus causing all software, music, and fames to be bogged down, work slower, and have poor quality sound.
So you have seen some of the general aspects of an iMac, bringing you closer to hating those computers; but you haven’t completely learned yet, so next we look at the actual internal workings of the computer, taking a first look at the tower. The tower is the part of the PC that contains all the internal working components, such as the cooling fan and the hard drive. The problem with a iMac is that there is no such thing as the tower for them. They cram all of the parts and the components into a single piece, which is, of course, the screen.
Some may wonder what is so bad about no tower? Well the reason is that they don’t let you open the screen. They seal it with no screws. Not only is it extremely irritating to mess with when repairs are needed, it also makes upgrades impossible. Apple, the greedy people they are, make the consumer have to constantly buy new models of computers because the models before are out of date and can’t be upgraded, making you feel like a toothless hill-billy. So that operating system that you use on your iMac that eats your RAM? Well don’t plan on adding more RAM to speed it up, because you can’t and you will just have to go out and buy a new model.
Well you have almost learned how to hate an iMac, but the last step is the hardest and can only be solved by your own decision of admitting and conquering you PC-aphobia.
There are no specific steps for this third step of hating a iMac, but there are general suggestions to help you rid of your PC-aphobia, the first being is to find a good operating system, such as Vista.

**sadly, the saved copy I have of this essay is has not been able to recover the last 2 pages. I will go dig out my rough draft and type the rest...
