Government yesterday totally rocked!  We divided the class in half, so seven of us were the Senate, and seven of us were the House of Representatives, and then Mrs. Mullen was the President.  Each half of Congress had to write a bill, get it passed in their half, and then send it to other half of Congress, get it passed in that half, and then get it approved by the President.  It was, without doubt, the most fun we’ve had in that class so far.  However, the Senate (which was comprised almost entirely of guys) was totally corrupt, and tried to pass a bill that would install little guns on the center dividers of the freeways to shoot at cars going below the speed limit.  We in the House (which was comprised mainly of girls) tried to point out that this was dumb, because a.) They had made no allowances for traffic jams, and b.) If the little guns shot out someone’s tires, it could potentially cause a car accident, which would impede the flow of traffic and thus completely defeat the point.  The Senate refused to listen however, and in the end the bill was killed.  As Jazz said afterward, “This has been a disturbingly eye-opening experience to how easily our government could become corrupted.”
