    I didn't know light affected any way in pollution. I knew it wasted energy and it was bad, but not that it could affect our health. It is good that France has this new policy to help reduce light pollution.

    It is very interesting to think that light affects air pollution. I defiantly would have never thought it was an issue.

    President Obama - the son of a single mother and the father of two daughters - understands that women aren't a special interest group. They are more than half of this country, and issues that affect women also affect families.

    Dr. Bob Sears writes about his thoughts on California Bill AB2109 and his fear that Dr.'s will refuse to sign the required form for thier patients vaccination exemption. He feels this way because he says some Dr.'s will force their own feelings about required vaccines on their patients or won't sign because of liability issuse. Those children who are unable to get the required signature will not be admitted to school and it will affect their education.

    The United States government has been facing an intense amount of pressure, mostly from the entertainment and computer software publishing companies for years to find some method of stopping the online piracy that is allowing people to own copies of their merchandise for free.
  • Nadine Borwege on 28 Jan 12
     
    PIPA is short for Protect IP Act and SOPA is short for Stop Online Piracy Act. They are both really big issues facing our world today. Many people are taking things illegally such as music, movies, software, and et cetera without paying for it. And now the government as well as the people who made all those things are fed up. For years people have tried to stop the hackers and now they are trying again. Will it work? Who knows.

    This article is very staightforward. It provides the nitty gritty details of the new healthcare law in manageable chunks. Not only does this article summarize the law, it also plugs in numerical values to paint a picture of what PPACA is intended to do and how it affects the employee, employer (small and large), and government.

    This article speaks of a post 9/11 America that walks a fine line of social profiling in the name of stopping terrorist acts. It speaks of both the injustice of many Japanese-Americans during WWII in the past and the challenges of keeping America safe from terrorism in the present without making the same mistakes of racial inequality.

    The article talks about how smoking is not a personal freedom. It gives examples of how if it only affect the smoker it will be consider a personal freedom, but the fact is that it harms everyone around the smoker
  • Julia Laborin on 02 Sep 13
     
    Some feel that smoking should be a personal choice, but at what cost to others. Smoking is a freedom that affects those around you. They infringe on someone's choice to not smoke.
  • Jessica Espinoza on 02 Sep 13
     
    I believe that smoking should be kept away from others.
  • andrew nunez on 03 Sep 13
     
    The only way to isolate the situation I believe would be to make cigarette illegal. The government will never let that happen though because of the amount of money tobacco produces for them. Until that day, we will still continue to see people suffer and die from smoking.

    This article posted by the ACLU discusses provisions of the Patriot Act that were granted extensions in 2011 despite their need for reform. The provisions in question could directly affect the American public and allow government access to personal information without probable cause. These provisions have been extended till June 2015.

    This article is great for anyone wondering what Obama did to our privacy via The Patriot Act. There were 3 expiring pieces of the Act and they are now extended until 2015.
