    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.
  •  
    I would have never thought this was an actual issue? I am glad i read this article and i am now more informed on this issue. I had no idea light affected pollution.

    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.
  •  
    This article talks about medical marijuana an how it helps with cancer patients. It talks about how kids on the street are able to get it no matter if it is legal or not so why not make it legal.
  •

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.

    Breast feeding is a natural way of feeding babies. Any mom no mater the profession that they have should have the right to breast feed there children to the age they feel comfortable. Women that breast feed should also have concentration of those around them and should have the proper covering during the feeding process. Military moms or any mom should have the right to public feed there children no matter the uniform that they carry.

What Your Social Media Reputation Says to Employers | Fox Business - 4 views

  •  
    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.

Oregon's Law Withstands the Test of Time - 2 views

  •  
    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 a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  •  
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  •  
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  •  
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  •  
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  •  
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  •  
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  •  
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  •  
    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.

Arizona Enacts Stringent Law on Immigration - 0 views

  •  
    New York Times criticizes Arizona's new strict law that aims to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. The woman responsible for this ban is Arizona State Governor Jan Brewer.
  •  
    The move unleashed immediate protests and reignited the divisive battle over immigration reform nationally. Even before she signed the bill at an afternoon news conference here, strongly criticized it. Speaking at a naturalization ceremony for 24 active-duty service members in the Rose Garden, he called for a federal overhaul of immigration laws, which Congressional leaders signaled they were preparing to take up soon, to avoid "irresponsibility by others."

  • 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.

  •  
    Same sex marriage also want families just like traditional marriage. Adopt increases in gay couples because they can not have kids the natural way. This way benefits adoption and kids around the world. Although, people say that gay couples don't help childern develop. However, same - sex adoptions have yet to become widespread.
  •  
    Gay couples should be able to get married due to many reasons. First things first marriage is about love, and if a law is the only thing holding a couple back is wrong. It does not hurt anyone, and everyone should be allowed to be happy.
