    This is a good article on why America should have a military draft. It talks about how if we had a military draft you wouldn't just see poor people joining to fight wars as a means of income. Everyone would have to fight, rich, or poor. It also reduce the amount of wars if all families rich and poor had the chance of loosing their children. Then we might rethink these wars. It gives a number of other good reasons our country should have a draft too.

    Is it important to us that our government looks at our Metadata? The government work's hard to Prove that our privacy is safe however they take liberties when it comes to private Phone Communications. The information they gather is much larger then we think.

    If they "need" to look at our metadata it makes me wonder what they're doing with all our information.

    In this day and age this is to be expected, the government is all about control, and when it comes to phone calls or even the internet they will do their best to control these places. Not siding with the government Im just stating their poor reasonings for doing this.

    The World Health Organization is taking on a new project called Quality Rights. The projects goal is to improve the health services given to the mentally ill. Abuse, violence, and mistreatment has increased in many mental heath facilities. These facilities also do not give employees the amount of training they need in order to care for the ill.

    This talks about reasons the rich should pay higher taxes. It talks about how technically the poor pay more taxes percentage wise.

    (AP) WASHINGTON - As the income gap between rich and poor widens, a majority of Americans say the growing divide is bad for the country and believe that wealthy people are paying too little in taxes, according to a new survey.

    I liked this article because it shows how if everyone payed the same tax rate increase it would add up to a much larger amount then if we just put the higher tax on the 2 percent of the higher income indivuals. It also shows how much the "rich" pay into taxes and how little much of the mid class pay at all. It was very informational.

    In the 1970's Virginia decided to repeal the law of involuntary sterilization. The people who had volunteered prior to 1970 were undedicated and very poor. The victims were never compensated for their time or for what they underwent. Despite the fact that the United States does not widely acknowledge eugenics people are still pushing for the "perfect" human being.

    This article discusses the recent North Carolina Voter ID law. Republicans claim the law will reduce voter fraud while democrats claim the law will illegally target minorities and the poor. Included in the Voter ID law are provisions that severely limit early voting that President Obama and democrats have used to gain an advantage over Republicans. Lawsuits have already been filed challenging North Carolina's Voter ID law.

    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.

    This is an interesting subject. The overall education of the student is most important. But the fact that a student is limited to one school because of their location or parents' financial situation isn't all that fair, so it would be nice for parents to be able to use funding for their student to go to the school of their choice (public or private).

    I understand why you have to go to school close to where you live especially if you don't have much money. A child needs a reliable eduction and if the parent lives to far and doesn't have much money it will make it hard on the parent and child to go to school. My dad is a High school teacher a Central High school here in Phoenix and has to deal with a lot. He finds that the students who live further away with less money tend to drop out or fail class due to not being able to afford bus passes or gas money. It truly is a sad thing but I believe going to school close to your home is best way to go in the long run.

    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.

    Interesting concept here, but they will spend lots more money defending laws like this than they would if they just paid the welfare. Too bad.

    A federal court of appeals denied Texas from enacting its voting rights law. This case is one of many to cut back on strict voting laws in Texas. Many say the law is discriminatory and then pro voter ID law people say that it has noting to do with minorities or poor people. They say that is all suggested by the people who just do not want the law. Texas has two options and they are to make changes to the previous law or go straight to the supreme court.
