The Collapse of the Mayan Civilization

2008-11-06T16:39:00.000-08:00

My theory of the Mayan collapse is that the style of farming used by the Mayans may have been ineffective. The Mayans probably planted the same crops, in the same place, year after year. Doing this would eventually ruin the soil in that area. For example, if they had learned to plant corn one year and beans the next year the soil might not have lost its nutrients. Farmers at that time also may not have known about leaving fields to recover with no crops for a period of time. If every Mayan farmer used their land for the same crops annually, after time, Mayan land would have been ruined, and crops would fail. This would be a problem because soon after, there would be no food left and no way to get food, therefore causing people to starve or leave the area, leading to the Mayan collapse.

VP Debate

I think that Sarah Palin and Joe Biden both varied the question a bit and I think Sarah Palin lied about the giving of tax breaks to the oil companies. I think that the tax break that Sarah Palin and John Mcain talk about will only apply to the rich people and companies.

I think that if John Mcain was a real maverick he would have voted for better healthcare for children, welfare for adults.

I think that we definitely need to get our soldiers out of Iraq because I feel that we are spending way to much money in Iraq and our soldiers should come home.

Why John Mcain and Barack Obama are wrong.

I think that John Mcain and Barack Obama are wrong about the economy because they are not being specific in how we are going to fix the problem with our economy. It will be a hard, long, process to fix our economy but there is a way.

My Economic Plan

I will fix the economy by making people pay down-payments to get loans from the bank. This will stop people from taking out huge loans and not being able to pay back the money.
