The poem “Song of the Chattahoochee” is a poem by author Sidney Lanier (1842-1881), completed in November, 1877. When Lanier contracted tuberculosis as a Union prisoner-of-war during the Civil War, he travelled extensively through Georgia hoping to restore his health. He wrote this poem as an ode to the River Chattahoochee.

The following text is an excerpt from a speech given by Neville Chamberlain that was broadcast on British radio on September 27, 1938.
After Hitler rejected British and French concessions to give Germany parts of the Sudetenland, the British people began to prepare for war. Bomb drills were held and people began to dig trenches.
Which argument is Chamberlain trying to communicate in this passage?
War is terrible and should only be entered into with clear justification.
War is a necessary evil that often results in a lasting peace.
War is scary, but it is the only way to stop aggressive nations.
War should only be undertaken when a country can be assured of victory.
Answer: War is terrible and should only be entered into with clear justification.
Explanation:
This speech by the British Prime Minister was broadcasted after the negotiations with Adolf Hitler, German Chancellor at the time, to reach a peaceful resolution to the Sudeten quarrel had failed, as Hitler refused to accept the annexation of only some areas of the Sudetenland.
Therefore, Chamberlain explains that is time to consider the possibility of having to go to war as justified, despite being always a horrible event.
I won't write an entire conversation going back and forth but I will give some pointers to get you started. Remember this is my opinion, only.
I think it's a great idea to tax junk food and soda's a little more hefty. I feel that we have such an obesity and morbid obesity epidemic and we're literally laughed at all over the globe. If people cannot afford to pay for the excess taxes on these products, they will be able to eat better. Now, on the other side of that argument, the healthier foods and produce should be left MINIMUMALLY taxed and lowered cost. Almost the opposite way of how it currently is in America.
The healthy produce and healthy foods/meats/cheeses, etc are very expensive and people would rather get more for their money thereby, they'll get junk foods and soda because it's cheaper. If we flip this around economically, by default American's would more than likely eat better.
I also feel that junk food/soda's etc should not be covered in food stamps but that's another topic.
