While there are some parts that seem to show that doing drugs is a bad idea it is mainly most of the following: As ecstasy got me standing next to you, Getting sentimental as fuck spillin' guts to you We just met But I think I'm in love with you But you're on it too So you tell me you love me too Wake up in the morning like "yo, what the fuck we do?" I gotta go bitch You know I have stuff to do 'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with you But in the long run These drugs are probably going to catch up sooner or later But fuck it, I'm on one So let's enjoy Let the X destroy your spinal cord

This author has an argument against our Government on how there shouldn't be so many laws.

Greg Merle does a wonderful job of pointing out the facts that lead to the question are we really free? He lists a few restrictions the government puts on the American people.

"What is it that big government doesn't get about the "pursuit of happiness". We have to be free to make mistakes. We don't need laws designed to protect me from me, such as seat belt laws, trans fat laws, helmet laws, shower head water flow laws, etc. Did you know that there is actually a black market on certain toilets because the government wants to control how much you flush?  From a logical stand point, it's ridiculous."

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.

I try very hard to recycle as much as possible. This article reminded me to use my reusable water bottles instead of buying case after case of bottled water and also inspired me to buy the reusable grocery bags that I see so many people using. It makes me sick to read that there is a plastic garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean that is twice the surface area of the U.S. and hundreds of feet deep. We need to take care of the earth.

In certain parts of Northern California, you have to bring your own bags for your groceries. Or they will charge you an extra .10 cents per plastic bag they give you.

In this brief article, a woman was reprimanded by her employer for breast-feeding her 3-month-old son in a Fort Brag mini-mall. Someone who was offended by the woman breast-feeding filed an anonymous complaint and a few days later the woman was told by her manager that the Army and Air Force Exchange Services, which manages military malls, has banned breast feeding. Although the employee did not want to make anyone uncomfortable or cause any further issue after her reprimand both North Carolina and federal law, allow women to breast-feed in public, even if their breast is exposed.

This was an issue 11 years ago when I was a breastfeeding mom. I had no choice but to take my 8 week old baby with me to a mandatory work meeting. I had a "cover" that is made to drape over me like a pancho. You could see nothing. Not even the baby's feet! I was asked to leave the meeting. That also came with repercussions, obviously out of my control. The mind blowing part of this entire story is my boss was a mother that had nursed her baby when he was little. Wouldn't you think she would understand more than anyone? This article is interesting to me due to the fact that there are laws in place to keep mothers from breastfeeding their children. That is outrageous! You should not feel pressured to bottle feed your child. It is a personal choice. I as a parent, had weighed out the pros and cons of both. And I made the decision to give my daughter a healthy head start. Why should we as human beings, be punished for taking proper care of our children. In my opinion, people need to find something else to complain about. And they will!

Why is everyone always picking on welfare recipients? Now NC is trying to stop people from buying lottery tickets. Seems a bit absurd to me.

This makes me wonder with all the technology out there to help law do there job, is it starting to over step our civil rights

This article summarizes 10 top facts about Health Care Reform. Insurance companies will regulate more heavily. they will be told the minimum for services that they will cover. Everyone will have health insurance or they must pay a fine. Employers will be mandated to provide insurance to the employees or they will be fined also. Which sounds good to me, my employer thinks he doesnt have to give anything at all.

Lyrics of Rihanna's song S&M. 'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sticks and stones may break my bones But chains and whips excite me

Mark Hanis encouraged me to post a fleshed-out response to his op-ed after I asked him if he wanted me to respond to an op-ed he and a colleague, Andrew Stobo Sniderman, wrote on "drones for human rights."

This site tells how companies are researching possible employees by there social media reputation.

Since I'm not the most social person by nature, I'm not very active with social media. I don't have a Facebook, or Twitter, or whatever. So, if anyone tries to Google me, there's not much that comes up. Hmm, I wonder if that could backfire if a potential employer can't find any information on me by using social media.

I don't believe that employers should be concerned of a potential or current employees social media sites.

If Bill AB2019 is enacted into law, it will become mandatory to vaccinate children even when if the mom or dad says otherwise.

I think agree with destini, if we have talking about personal freedoms in all of these assignment then the individual should get to choose what they want to do. If a parent does it for them, then it was never a choice in the first place.

Young children can not make the decision themselves. That right is the given the parents that conceived them.

This website give statistics regarding abortion. Reading through them gives you an idea of just how serious abortion is.

This article is about what types of situations abortions are happening in. These stats shocked me and even more make me lean torwards pro life. "An estimated 43% of all women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old. 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one previous abortion."

As parents do we have the right to say "NO" to drugging our children? I found this article to be very informative. This article suggests that we as parents need to question the responses given to us by our doctors. There are many cases of misdiagnosis. In some states there are schools that have rules in place if your child is diagnosed with ADHD and ADD they are required to take Ritalin. If you "opt out" the school can tell you not to bring your child to school anymore! Considering I have a child they are trying to get me to medicate, this issue hit home for me. There are many recorded deaths that have occurred as a result of taking this drug. That is a chance I am not willing to take.

This article discusses a homeowner in AZ that was prohibited from flying the Gadsen flag in his front yard. The site explains into detail what the snake symbol represents and what steps he was doing to keep the flag.

Police officers in the Fontana Unified School District in CA were armed recently with semiautomatic rifles, sparking an effort to ban such weapons on school campuses. Should schools be buying such weapons out of the school budget?

This article makes no sense to me when you are supposed to paying HOA's to be on the home owners side, not to be applying all these fake fines to keep them running.

A day after demanding Washington lawmakers extend middle-class tax cuts while raising taxes on the wealthy, President Obama took his case directly to voters Tuesday, traveling to Iowa to argue that the rich should pay higher taxes in order to cut the deficit and fund his spending priorities.

This article says that 98 percent of Americans want the tax hike, where as the 2 percent it will effect does not. This 98 percent number is outrageous, especially if they are adding me into the mix. It also brings up that the small businesses that we are trying to support are the most effected by the tax hike.

Giving animals rights is about protecting them since they cannot speak up for themselves. We are their voice. We should not go around harming them or beating them. Some people have pets in their house and it amazes me how people can adopt an animal and then go and abuse them. They did not ask to be adopted by you to have you do that to them. They can feel, and they deserve to be happy and live their one life.

This article describes the idea of a "roving bug," which is how the FBI can tap into your cellphone conversations. Apparently, all cellphones have built-in tracking devices that enable the government to listen, and to track you. This assists the government in catching criminals, but makes the public feel as if their privacy is being invaded.
