Article written by Terence Clark. The following quote is an example of the lack of discussion reference premarital sex. According to Clark, apparently the only choice is safe sex or unsafe sex; no sex is not an option. Add to that the last phrase about taking care of them and you have an example of entitlement: "Women's rights and the alarming speed with which the world's population is growing make access to birth control a necessity, not a sin. The Church -- and its supporters in some government circles in Washington -- would have all those children be born willy nilly, yet seem to care very little about supporting them once they are born."

As parents do we have the right to say "NO" to drugging our children? I found this article to be very informative. This article suggests that we as parents need to question the responses given to us by our doctors. There are many cases of misdiagnosis. In some states there are schools that have rules in place if your child is diagnosed with ADHD and ADD they are required to take Ritalin. If you "opt out" the school can tell you not to bring your child to school anymore! Considering I have a child they are trying to get me to medicate, this issue hit home for me. There are many recorded deaths that have occurred as a result of taking this drug. That is a chance I am not willing to take.

(AP) WASHINGTON - As the income gap between rich and poor widens, a majority of Americans say the growing divide is bad for the country and believe that wealthy people are paying too little in taxes, according to a new survey.

I liked this article because it shows how if everyone payed the same tax rate increase it would add up to a much larger amount then if we just put the higher tax on the 2 percent of the higher income indivuals. It also shows how much the "rich" pay into taxes and how little much of the mid class pay at all. It was very informational.
