The author details the lifetime carbon footprint of common combustion vehicles and compares them to the carbon footprint of popular electric cars, Teslas. In the analysis, the author reveals how many miles one has to drive in an electric car in order for the electric car to have a smaller carbon footprint than the gas one. His work seems thorough, but he does not list the sources where he got his starting numbers, and he had to have used averages because its hard to quantify the carbon footprint of a single car when they are usually mass produced in groups.

It seems like the source is more of a data list rather than a traditional article, most likely used for technicians in the industry and offers plain data to compare rather than an explanation of what the data would mean for a consumer. If comparing the carbon footprint of the two vehicles I found it interesting that the article left out the carbon emissions generated by lithium mining that the Tesla batteries are using. Did you feel as though the source was thorough with their sourcing and research or that it was lacking in providing evidence for the data presented?

Arizona has a mandatory state requirement for car insurance, that is meant to protect you and everyone else from paying out of pocket in the event of an accident. Failure to do so could lead to suspension of your vehicle registration, and/or drivers license.

Even coming from somebody who carries, I think schools are right to punish a student for having a gun in their car. One because its not allowed, and two because its not allowed! Keep it at home.

I completely agree with students being punished for having guns in cars at school. If it is against the rules then there should be consequences. In my opinion, it is the same has taking a gun to a sporting event or in a hospital, if it is it allowed it is simply not allowed.

Is sex-trafficking and prostitution different or the same? This article states similar facts on sex-trafficking as well as prostitution. Including quotes from the men, women, and children who were victims of both. Some say they lived two different lives, one who was the slaved, abused, and used; while the other got to live lavishly in the expensive clothes and driving nice cars. This article also has statements from how the men who were buying sex felt about their victims.

Drinking and driving is very common in today's society. I like this article because not only does it provide facts about faculties, but also provided a visual emotional touch while reading. People are effected everyday due to someone driving under the influence or while intoxicated. It's good we have things like Uber, taxi's, and buses that help lead away from driving drunk, which in return will lead to safer roads.

Drinking and driving is not only wrong, but its completely selfish. You are not only putting your life in danger, but you are also putting others in danger. There are many different routes you can take rather than just getting into your car intoxicated.

Ugh, I hate that no matter how many times you can say to someone "please call me and ill pick you up" and they still choose to drive themselves home because they do not want to "bother" you. This is such a big issue in our society that everyone needs to learn to stop doing. I feel that Uber is helping in some way lately though!

In this report it talks about foster kids and what happens to them after they turn 18. While some states, a small handful, have programs for the kids others do not. It spoke about kids turning 18 then getting dropped off at homeless shelters. I hope in the near future there will be a change for these kids. They crime rate, young parent rate and homeless rates are just not acceptable. Please read and see how you can help in you community.

There was a group home next door to my home for years. These kids had no support even when they were in the system. They were often locked out of the home when the state workers needed to go somewhere. My family and I ended up being family for many of these children. One afternoon, Charles who lived in the group home, rang our doorbell. I came out and he was yellow and falling over. I asked him where are the workers. He let me know they had locked them out again. I put him in my car and rushed him to the hospital. I knew it was bad when the emergency room nurses took him immediately. The staff at the group home had been giving him the wrong medication and he lost most of his liver. Charles calls me mom. His children call me Grandma. A lot of the kids that were living in the home, call me mom. I refer to them as one of my kids. The best way to take care of these children is to invite them into your heart, lives and family before and after they turn 18. Demonstrate the way to success by showing them love.

I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.

I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.

I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.
