Alcatraz Prison
First of all the ironic part to the Alcatraz maximum security prison is that the word "Alcatraz" translates in Spanish to "white calla lily", which is the beautiful looking white flower. But generally when one thinks of Alcatraz they think of this dark island with an old haunted looking prison inhabited by grim looking prisoners who have committed horrid crimes.
The reason that the government thought the Alcatraz was inescapable was because it was about 1 1/2 miles away from any shore and was under constant surveillance 24/7.

Public Enemys
On what I learned about the old school gangsters that at one point in history some were public enemy number one(s). Also I noticed that they all had some for of help in a way or another hence the name "organized crime" I found that they worked rather well together since they had multiple heads doing crimes.

A 1920's Acrostic Poem/Rap
For the first part of this poem I did it the regular way.
Part 1: Poem
People had new techniques in the 1920's
Red Scare occurred
Our Soldiers had returned
Help was greatly needed, the
Industrial era had begun
Bruises were common
In the work places
Taller buildings were made, an
Increase of social disputes occurred
Our
Nation grew for the future of it's people.
As for the second part I decided to do a little short rap (trying to keep it fresh)
Part 2: Rap
R unning through the streets of
O 'conner drive
A man in a suit came
R oaring by,
I ncoming hastily, I moved out the way, but
N o worries, at least it's not Scarface.
G oing down continuously, in my new glad rags, I
T ry not to remember what happened in the past, early that
W eek when I was drinking the hooch, looking for
E mployment in a Bar called the "Roof", seven gangsters were shot in
N orth Clark Street, evidence of today's catastrophes
T hankfully I got new job elsewhere,
I n a secret part of town where I feel safe there, but this is not
E ntirely true, since I'm bootlegging for constant crews, so when depression and debt got me feeling queasy, I head down with my boys to the
S peakeasies
Anyways I typed it again, so you can read the rap a bit more clearer
Running through the streets of O'conner drive,
A man in a suit came roaring by,
Incoming hastily I move out the way
But no worries,
At least its not Scarface
Going down continuously, in my new glad rags,
I try not to remember what happened in the past
Early that week when I was drinking the Hooch
Looking for employment in a bar called the "Roof"
Seven gangsters were shot in North Clark Street
Evidence of today's catastrophes
Thankfully I got a new job elsewhere
In a secret part of town where I feel safe there
But this is not entirely true
Since I'm bootlegging for constant crews
So when depression and debt has me feeling queasy
I head down with my boys to the speakeasies
P.S comment if you can, please.

Viva La "Free Speech"
Julian Assange fight for the transparency of the worlds governments is something that could affect all of us. When you open up a government its like you open a journal full of secrets, but in most cases these "journals" tend to be written in blood. From unheard of wars to unknown military failures, wikileaks released thousands of classified documents that show what really goes in our governments.
I believe there will be many more riots based on the content which this documents contain and that it is for a greater cause which can help us as a world to improve with the new found knowledge.
Now that people are starting to realize whats going on it's probably not going to end so easily, Assange has opened a new door to untold wonders and secrets and you know what they say "curiosity killed the cat".
