Personal Freedoms of our rights - 0 views

  •  
    This article has 3 issues, the TSA, wikileaks and the drink Four Loko. First it talk about how american dont like the fact TSA is not fair with how they screen for bombs and such things but they want to be have a safe flight to go see reltives or a fun vactions. Then the government doesn't like that the website has taps on them when wikileaks reports on what they are doing but do not have a problem when it comes to tapping the americans phone calls. Lastly the state of New York banned the drink of Four Loko claiming that it is bad for americans but again wants to play big brother and tells us what is right or wrong. We as americans should decided what is good or not for our bodies.

The Associated Press: Calif gay history referendum faces uphill battle - 0 views

  •  
    In California, protesters are fighting to repeal the nation's first law requiring public schools to include prominent gay people and gay rights' milestones in school lessons. Some fear that it would expose young children to "inappropriate" sexual themes, however modern 20th century history often isn't taught until junior year of high school. Proponents of the referendum explain that social studies education covers broad spectrum topics and that those who develop the curriculum would be unlikely to "include the sexual orientation of historical figures unless it is relevant."

Drinking & Driving - 0 views

  •  
    This article was full of statistics proving that no one should get behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming alcohol. There are laws that are trying to be passed to mark the vehicle in some way or revoke your license. We all know that the punishment come gradually but could it change these mind blowing statistics if we put the revoking law in effect for a first time offender? We are talking about the lives of innocent people. Very interesting. it gives me something to consider.

The Case for Teaching The Bible - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a two sided of opinion of a very concerning topic to many Americans today. Should we teach our children the bible in school? There are schools such as in Georgia that are for the first time allowing funds to be allocated to teaching high school classes the Old and New Testaments. The students say that there are many different reasons for them to take the classes, believers or not. It seems to be a rising trend proving that more and more students enjoy these classes. I am determined to answer my own question. If our founding fathers put our country in place basing it from morals and values found within God and His word, the Bible, who are we to take it away?

What Helps The Mentally Ill - 0 views

  •  
    No Where to Lay His Head ... The first answer that most people usually come up with to mental illness is "medication". Medication can help the mentally ill in many cases, even completely cure them. For others, however, medication helps only in a limited way, while inducing a number of side effects.

  •  
    This article is biased but lots of good information about HOAs. The author is against HOAs and makes it clear in the first few sentances. He does give a lot of informative information about how HOAs work and the consequenses that come with them. He also talks about the fact that you don't have a choice in whether or not you can be part of an HOA.

Racial Profiling in an Age of Terrorism - 0 views

  •  
    It is against this historical backdrop that we encounter post-9/11 efforts to combat terrorist acts on American soil, and examine the role that race should play in an effective effort to deter future attacks. But before assessing whether our government's response to the events of 9/11 betray a pattern of racial profiling, I first want to identify what it is.

  • A 2003 study in the journal Mammal Review (view it as a PDF) suggested that cats predate 5 million reptiles and amphibians, 27 million birds and 57 million mammals in the UK each year. In the US, some estimates say 100 million birds are killed by cats each year (a Forest Service report by Erickson et al in 2005) and “more than a billion small mammals”, according to a study published this year by the American Bird Conservancy (view it as a PDF).

      I like how he tries to back up his statements with facts from published research, although the first link doesn't work. Bummer.

    Tiddle's law. Too many cats can destroy wildlife. They can be sweet and cuddly but a nusence at the same time.

    The cost of homeschooling is as flexible as the homeschool schedule. Some parents spend $200 to $300 per school year. Others spend more; others may spend less.
