    The pros and cons of SOPA and PIPA are discussed in this article. There is also an alternative introduced in this website about the OPEN Act.
  • Christina Shepherd on 27 Jan 12
     
    Media Privacy, copyright infringement is what PIPA and SOPA is about. they want to block certain domains like the pirate bay and mega upload from giving away movies and music. Even payperview fights are on the pirate bay. for example, if comcast or century link didn't want you to access piratebay.org they could block it but there is still a way to get to the website through other ways so PIPA and SOPA had to drop it.

    The famous reality TV show 'Sister Wives' is using their show to not only educate America about their religious lifestyle, but to help fight to let it be legal once again. Polygamy was outlawed in the 1890s, but it is still practiced today by many Mormon families. The religious practice has to be carefully done in secret for the fear of being convicted. The author states that Mormons just want to freely practice their faith and be left alone about it without legal consequences.

    I watched the first season of Sister Wives on Netflix, and, without voicing my personal opinions on the subject, I was really surprised that people are still practicing polygamy.

    I thought that this was a great article to post because it explains just how important personal freedom is to my tribe. Personal freedom is something that means so much to everyone as an individual, but when it is taken away, it becomes something that you strive for and cherish. When I read this article it made me realize just how thankful I should be to have my freedom and knowing how hard it was for my ancestors to fight for,when we had different people fighting for our land.

    This talks about the first amendment, freedom of speech. It tells about how the government intervenes and disrupts this freedom.
  • Bahora Bayot on 30 Jan 12
     
    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.

    California prop. 215 was passed in 1996, by a 56% vote, legalizing medicinal marijuana. Now, some dispensaries in California are being shut down by the cities they are operating in. Attorneys in the case fighting for the dispensary owners are saying, "cities have the right to regulate... but they do not have the right to ban what the voters said is legal."

    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.

    Major Mary Jennings Hegar had always dreamed of being an airforce pilot, and now that she is, she has faced discrimination because of the exclusionary policy. A policy that excludes women from doing certain jobs because they aren't seen as being capable of them. Women in the military are fighting everyday to get rid of these double standards.

    This law was proposed in order to fight childhood obesity. It was vetoed, however. This is such a close argument I can see one going either direction, but it is a private company so they do have the right to regulate their own menu. Parents also have the right to make smart decisions.

    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.

    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.

    The article by Patrick McMahon shows pro's and con's for legalizing gambling. Proponents say that it would bring a huge amount of money in taxes. Critics on the other hand notice that gambling is addictive and should not get more support than it already has.
