I say speak

I think that Ozzie Guillen can say whatever he wants to. Although it was wrong what he said I still think he should be allowed to say whatever he wants to. It is his right to say whatever he wants and whatever he believes in. I think he has the right to do that. I also think that he said it a funny or joking manner and wasn’t being serious about it. He probably just said the wrong thing at the wrong time when he was joking and it backfired on him. He was just trying to be funny and really wasn’t thinking about what he was saying. Since he lives in an area where there are a lot of Cuban-Americans everybody took it offensive and got really upset at the Miami Marlins manager.  Because of this the marlins are pretty much forced to do something about it. He got a 5 day suspension and can possibly be fired. I really don’t think this is the way to go about this. He should maybe get suspended for a game or two because he is the spokesmen of the team and represents a bunch of people but that’s it. He has the right to say what he wants but sometimes it’s not the best idea to do when you’re famous or speak for a group of people.

No I don’t think we are the dumbest generation like Bauerlein's book says we are. We do rely on technology and we do use it to make things easier for us but I don’t see how that makes a less smart. We have different ways of getting our information than other generations did. In 100 years from now will people be saying that we had it hard and that they are lazy because of advances in technology? Different generations have different ways to get there information than others. It just so happens it keeps getting easier for us that’s all. I think it’s pretty smart that we can store our information and then be able to get back to it if we need it. Makes sense to me! I see myself as a pretty hard worker, technology just makes things that much easier for me which is always good. I think technology just helps us get more accurate data faster which helps us be as smart as we can be! I really don think there is a “Dumbest Generation”. I think each generation does the best that they can with the technology that they have and that there has not been a dumb generation yet.
