Immigration and what may happen - 0 views

  •  
    I love the New York Times, again this article is very imformative, it give information on illegal immigration. Somethings the article talks about is Mexican Immigration has declined, and if a illegal is caught speeding should they deported and a little bit about the background of illegal immigration.
  •  
    The New Times really points out some great facts in this article. They show that immigration is a important issue that is going on with the U.S. today. It also shows how different things can be for immigrants depending on who is the new elected president. While Mitt Romney is taking the side that may be harder on illegal immigrants, Obama seems to welcoming people to run across the boarder. Michal Czerwonka for The New York Times may be more of a photographer than a writer but he really did a great job showing both sides views.

"Public Attitudes Toward Forest Management - 0 views

  •  
    There is a great concern that the correct assessment of the public's opinion of the forest management is not reaching the Forest Management Personnel, because of the special interest groups that have the time and money to prepare and present what the special interest groups want. These lobbists are great speakers and have the time and support to be at all meetings and present. The small public is not heard over the large group professionals.

Anti-smoking vs. personal freedom - Philadelphia Business Journal - 1 views

  •  
    These is a great topic in my opinion. You hear so many people talk about how they have stop smoking to avoid getting sick in the future. I think its great that smoking is banned from many public places, because like they say second smoke has the same affect as if you where the smoker. I see that more and more people prefer non smoking hotel rooms, bars, restaurants etc its a better choose for are health. And like the article mentions of not hiring smokers.

Freedom of Speech - 0 views

  •  
    This talks about the first amendment, freedom of speech. It tells about how the government intervenes and disrupts this freedom.
  •  
    Freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition -- this set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression. The Supreme Court has written that this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom."
  •  
    This is a great little article showing how important freedom of speech is. It shows how without have our freedom of speech people couldn't fight for all their other freedoms.

Arizona's Other Crazy New Law - 1 views

  •  
    This is crazy its about how the copscan arrest you on the spot if you can't prove your citizenship status. Further more it states that if you buy a gun made in Arizona you don't have to register it.
  •  
    The weapon of choose becomes their Constitution right to bear arms. Perhaps that prospect will make police a little more concerned about who they round up on the streets. We doubt it. Weapon's instructors in Arizona feel cheated by the state's law makers as they are killing their business.
  •  
    It is wrong to be stopped by patrol just because you don't seem to look like you're from the US. As for the weapons not having to be licensed also defeats the purpose. I think anyone who owns a concealed weapon should be trained on how to use it, and with that you have to own a license.
  •  
    I defiantly disagree with both of these laws. I don't think it is right that a cop can pull someone over just to make sure they are legal. I also think in order to be allowed to handle a gun people should go through safety classes.
  •  
    I think there should be a little more added to both these laws. If you want to search someone regardless of race, gender, religion or whatever you should need probable cause. Also I think if you are going to handle any type of weapon you should have some background with weapons handling; maybe off free weapons safety classes at public ranges?
