Excerpt from A Day For the Record Books Pat Irby
6 Then, Principal Granger ended the debate. Students from the class started handing out the ballots for voting. We made our
decisions and handed in our papers. The principal and some of the teachers started counting. They said we would have to
wait for about thirty minutes for the announcement. Every minute that ticked by seemed almost like an hour. Then, Principal
Granger announced that a decision had been made, but it was the closest vote in the school's history. Everyone was shocked
and excited. Then, she told us that Kenya would be our next class president! While she looked disappointed, Anna was
gracious and said she would never hold a grudge. Then, Kenya surprised everyone and asked Anna if she would be co-
president with him! The entire class started to cheer for the pair. Now, it seems that everyone has what they want-and I have
a memory that will last a lifetime!

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
