This article is based on school choice. To choose a school for your child based on your living location. How empowering the parent to choice would be more beneficial.

It is very important in the present day for children to get a good education and the child should not have to suffer a poor education because of where they live. If the parents can not afford to live in a neighborhood with the top performance schools they should still be able to send their child to a good school and even if it means the child has to take the bus or car pool.

Although many people live in districts that have the funding for an excellent staff that is required to create a good learning environment, there are some parents that do not have that luxury. Being at a good school is what ultimately gets students out of the 'poverty cycle' or not. If a student does live in a bad neighborhood and has the possibility of attending a better neighborhood even if it is a bus ride or drive away it should be up to them ultimately if they want to make that change and commute for the better learning environment.

Top 10 Solutions to Illegal Immigration in the USA Illegal immigration has long been a problem in the U.S. The government has certain legislative policies in place to deal with this problem. Despite these efforts immigration continues to be rising problem in the U.S.

Gives solutions to stop the increase of illegal immigrants that come into the United States. They think that strengthening border security might work as well as making it harder for illegals to live in America by using background checks, ect. They even promote the idea that maybe if living here is so difficult, then maybe illegal immigrants might even want to leave voluntarily.

After reading this article, the number of undocumented illegals that come up is alot higher than I thought it would be. We have almost 12 million illegal immigrants living in this country and controlling that number has to start with the businesses.

This article talks about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997. It reviews your personal freedom to die at a time & place of your choice if your facing a terminal illness.

This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.

This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.

"More than 6 in 10 Americans now favor allowing illegal immigrants to eventually become U.S. citizens.There is said to be an estimate of 11 million illegal immigrants living in the united states.

This article was interesting to me, because I tried and was rejected as a living donorfor my dad. I was told I could donate to someone else, but because of his disease, they would not perfrom a transplant on him.

This article outlines racial profiling and how it is a violation of fundamental principals of our constitution. It's targeting brown mexican/hispanics because of the illegal immigration; and the arab americans because of 911. We all have a right to live our lives in peace without having authorites watching us because of our physical features.

Only one state, Oregon, has legalized assisted suicide. The Oregon statute, which went into effect in October 1997, provides that a doctor may prescribe, but not administer, a lethal dose of medication to a patient who has less than six months to live. Two doctors must agree that the patient is mentally competent and that the decision was voluntary. As of April 1999, 23 patients were given drugs under the statute, and 15 of them used the drugs to commit suicide. A report released by the Oregon state Health Division reviewing the first year of the law's implementation found that the law was working well and had not been subject to abuse.

The abortionc law may not be the killer, but it contributes to the problem. Although most women have those rights to make decisions for them selves now, it is happening more than ever before. They are living with these deep secrets but talk about it as though it was a piece of cake. I know they must feel bad. The abortion law is not safe either.

Unlike the many points of cannabis laws that restrict the American people or are upheld by the American people the right to earn a lawful living is under debate. This specific post is to bring to light the issue of where state and federal laws infringe on personal freedoms to earn a living.

Here's a great article written about the Dream Act, which allows young adults, that are immigrants, a chance to obtain a work authorization in order to stay in the United States. The reason this act was put into place was to speak out for those children who came into our countries with their parents and are considered illegal immigrants. These young adults are now dealing with the hardships of living in the U.S. illegally because they were not given a chance to decide on whether or not they wanted to live in this country.

Individuals should be able to consume as much soda as they want. I think that there should be more education about how drinking soda in excess can lead to obesity. Maybe warning labels on soda to remind people of the effects of drinking sugary beverages. I think it is then up to each individual to make the decision of how much soda they consume.

I total understand the ban, since most Americans don't pay attention to the main ingredient in soda which is "high fructose corn syrup". Research has shown high fructose corn syrup is as addictive as cocaine yet there are no laws regulating the use and quantity of it in food and beverages. High consumption of high fructose corn syrup has been proven to cause obesity and diabetes. There's not enough public education regarding this ingredient to enable consumers to make intelligent choices when consuming beverages and lobbyist lobby the government to make sure it stays this way.

I think this ban is ridiculous controlling the amount of soda and sweetened drinks people consume is wrong. Although sugary drinks can be detrimental to health, people have the right to control and live their own lives according to what they think is best. I like how this article has statistics and shows how many people don't agree with this outrageous ban.

Great article about net neutrality and open standards on the web.
