- ... to take over” or the ever popular “blacks are okay, I think everyone should own one.” Those were just two examples of the ever growing torrent of racial slurs to come out of my Grandfather’s mouth. Other items that just popped out during conversations were names, such as, Porch Monkey, Lackey, Jigaboo, or even calling Brazil nuts “nigger toes.” All this was a common day to day occurrence for me while growing up in my predominantly white neighborhood.

Louis depended on trickery, intimidation and bribery to get what he wanted. These three characteristics are exactly what Machiavelli believes in. Louis wanted to weaken the powers on the great lords in France so that he had all the power. Any noble that resisted Louis’s rule was bribed or threatened until the noble agreed with Louis. Once there was a cardinal who disobeyed Louis. He was locked in a small cage for 11 years. He couldn’t even stand up or sit down. The people under Louis’ rule were very scared of him that they were willing to put up anything to impress and agree with him. Louis was aiming for ...

These greenhouse gases form a sort of blanket around the Earth, trapping in heat that would otherwise be radiated back to space, Mann explained. This causes the Earth's atmosphere to heat up.
