    This is a great article pointing out the fact that if racism is in all races. People think because we are white we don't understand racism. It doesn't take a skin color to under stand ignorance and racism is ignorance. Racism is in all races no matter the skin color or gender or even  sexual preference.

    Very informative website encouraging ideas to eat healthier. I enjoy reading about new and changes ideas in the food culture because it is evolving just like everything else in the world. Maybe someday everything will be organic and I believe the world will be a much healthier place overall.

    This article talks about how unjust it is not to allow gay marriage. It talks about all the benefits that gay couples miss out on, even if they've been together and shared a life together for 50 years, since they can't get married, the rights that are kept from them such as maybe seeing their dying partner in the hospital and so on. Things that married couples take for granted
  • justin corrigan on 03 Oct 11
     
    Gay couples, not allowed to marry, cannot receive the same privileges that married couples receive, no matter how long they have "been together." Some rights include not being able to visit a spouse in prison, the rights to collect survivor's benefits as the spouse of a military veteran. Gay couples, in these instances are not receiving the same rights as straight couples.

    This is a constitutional matter, not a matter of hardware or crime-fighting. All Americans, including those who don't own guns, should be concerned with guarding a right that has been recognized in America for more than two centuries.

    The healthcare system should really be able to check the immigration status of patients, from experience it makes it uncomfortable for others in the hospital. We recently went into the hospital and it felt like a party was going on in labor and delivery waiting room when there was about 20 people in there screaming at a football game. No matter how many times the nurse went in, the noise did not go away at all.

    Nationwide changes in insurance codes cause a lack of recourse for mental health providers. The recent tragedies in our country have been an area for concern regarding our country's mental health, and our need for greater attention to this matter. These insurance setbacks are expected to have a major impact.

    Living in Phoenix means you must be very familiar with this type of stuff. No matter what Home Depot you go to in the valley you see armies of immigrants on the curb looking for day work. This is where the problem needs to start being addressed when businesses hire these illegals just to save a buck.

    Medical Marijuana has been studied to fight cancer cells and make those in too much pain to be comfortable. Why shouldn't this be legal? Plus, kids on the street on going to use it anyway, why not be able to control it? It would be easier to moderate that way.

    This article talks about medical marijuana an how it helps with cancer patients. It talks about how kids on the street are able to get it no matter if it is legal or not so why not make it legal.

    In this article, the author explain how if legalizing marijuana or cannabis, you benefit those with medical needs. Not only that, but it will allow the government to better controls it from the youth. Also proposes that it is better than other things the youth tries out, like alcohol, and cocaine.

    This article discusses the ethics behind banking the blood from a baby's umbilical cord and using the stem cells to treat sick people. It informs us that the blood from one cord is only enough to treat one patient and that, as the demand for cord blood increases, the ethics behind the storage and usage of cord blood may become compromised.

    This is a neutral article on the SOPA law. It describes what SOPA is, who is opposed and who is for the law, and what the outcome of voting for the law was. It also gives some alternative ideas to secure the internet from piracy overseas, but not invade the privacy of our people.
