The United States feared the spread of Marxist and Communist ideals to developing nations. This lead to an anti-Soviet policy during the Cold War. The United States helped inciting resistance forces in pro-Communist countries and supported the blossoming of free-enterprise countries with money, military support, and other forms of aid. Chile became a hot spot in South America; the United States funded anti-Communist propaganda and tried using its political and economic influence to overpower the Chilean Congress. The United States’ foreign policy dictated, “Capitalism or else,” no matter the consequences.
If you think that was boring, it was even worse writing it.
I've started on page 5.
So, 4.15/7 completed!
It's just boring because it doesn't really have very much substance to it. It's pretty topical, there's no issue being delved into here. What's the paper supposed to be about?
That's the introduction to my paper about how the US dicked around in Chilean politics and supported a dictator gain control of the country, undermining the Chilean democratic process.
The body paragraphs go into more depth.

Oh, and for your own benefit, I'm not sure your teacher will like this sentence:
The United States’ foreign policy dictated, “Capitalism or else,” no matter the consequences.
The problem with it is that, although it conveys the general idea, there's no way in hell any foreign policy document says "capitalism or else." You can't quote that. You have to say something like: "This totalitarianistic idea of 'capitalism or else' heeded not consequence nor patience when it came to foreign policy."
Okay, I'm pretty stoned right now, that might be a bad sentence. But I'm sure you get my drift.

I am not technically from Indiana, I am from Kentucky. I go tanning because I get free tanning where I work. And I was ok so I will try it.

ugh, poor baby, I'm sorry
(yes I'm being nice)
I don't know about you but for me, most of the dizziness/room spinningness is from lying down all day. Something to do with your redefined centre of gravity and all that jazz. Try sitting up for a while, drink lots of h2o and oj, you know the whole bit.

Today was a tiring day.
Prom and whatnot.
And the other day I pulled an all-nighter.
The best thing to do is to sleep.
...BUT NO. I HAVE TO BE AT THE REVOLUTION IN 4 HOURS TO SET UP THEIR VIDEO PRESENTATION AND RUN THAT FOR ANOTHER 4 HOURS.
Netai, neeeeetaaaaaaii!
