If i could live anywhere in the world it would be....

I've lived in El Paso all my life. Although spending half my time living in California with my mother i still chose to live in El Paso. It's stable here, i have friends, things I'm involved in here and family so I chose El Paso over living in California permanently. That definitely does not mean I'm going to stay in El Paso all my life. For starter, I'm definitely moving away for college. I'd like to live on the east coast because I have never been there but Location is not going to be the main factor in my decision, rather it be the college that suits me best. Another thing i want to do right after college is travel the world with my sister.

Once I'm older out of college and looking to settle down somewhere I would love to live in a city much like El Paso, reasonable climate, big enough for shopping and attractions but not necessarily all the things that come with big cities like crime and inequality of living. Heck, I may even move back to El Paso to have my own family cause i love the climate, and the safety. But at the same time I'd like to live in a new place too, Like maybe four corner's area or southern California, or if i find an area on the east coast that i like.

Occupy Wall Street!

This is a actually a topic that has come to the attention of many people not just people who watch the news but everyone. One of my teachers was aguing that they want to redisttrbute the wealth and she compared it to givning up GPA point to people who are failing an need some. It's Completely not the same thing! I've been thinking about this a lot because It's nice to see so many people joining together standing up to the slanted weath. Fighting corperate greed is important and it's really not right that most of our wealth is in 1% of the population.

Although I must admit i don't understand everything about what they are protesting and what is going on in the corporate world, i do believe that the system he have today is not very efficient. There is not enough jobs and the fact still remains that 99% of the population doesn't have most of the country's wealth, you can't possibly say its fair totax the middle class more when the wealthy have more money to be taxed.
