Summary of New Health Reform Law - 0 views

  •  
    This article is very staightforward. It provides the nitty gritty details of the new healthcare law in manageable chunks. Not only does this article summarize the law, it also plugs in numerical values to paint a picture of what PPACA is intended to do and how it affects the employee, employer (small and large), and government.

'Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America' by Adam Winkler - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about a journalist reaction to a writer's book about Gun Rights.
  •  
    I agree that with allowing everyone to carry a gun we endanger others and I believe there should be me test and screening before we can carry guns. .
  •  
    I find this article interesting because it informs the reader that gun control has been such a debated topic for decades now. Also what is more interesting is that depending on the situation people are hesitate to allow the second amendment to pass during tough times like during the panthers era or the wild west.This article just makes you think why is there pendulum for strict gun restriction in one decade and no strict gun control in this decade. For instance, because of the sandy hook elementary shooting are we more afraid of this situation to happen again so we keep our guns tighter in our pockets or do we allow the government to handle this for us?

    This article is about how school mandates are restricting personal freedoms. The ideals of authors viewpoints on the subject.
  •  
    Where should learning take place? Home schooling is an alternative to public education. Children are place under a greater amount of pressure due to testing, having to learn the curriculum taught in a short amount of time, tests, when they start school and attendance in school. With home schooling most of the stress is erased.
  •  
    In this article, the author talks about the public schooling system as a forced act on our society that actually makes the future of education worse for us. Instead of letting our children think for themselves, learn the trades they wish to learn, and force them to attend for a certain amount of time, we are taking away their personal freedoms of education. Many people are pushed to thinking that a set school rubric will help every child to get the education they need for their future, but according to the views of the author, they don't. The author's view is that society should be looking more into home schooling and trade schooling to help the United States grow to be more productive for the future. Every generation, school is seen more as a prison; molding our future to think as the way the government wants them to think. But if we were to give freedom to complete schooling outside of force, children will regain their excitement for learning and pursue to better our nation on their own free will.
  •  
    An interesting article on the state of our education system and how the direction we have gone with it seems to be lacking. Lending itself to breaking the ideas that people have about how a child "must" learn, the article offers up that those ideas are not often the case.

Making an Informed Decision about Vaccines - 2 views

  •  
    This article brings to the surface many hidden truths about why the government pushes vaccinations. Health discoveries and funding are among topics of concern.
  •  
    Very interesting article. I wonder if this has anything to do with the increase in autistic children in our country.
  •  
    This article brings to light just one facet of the US government that is under the control of corporations. Pharmaceutical companies are part of the corporate wheel that runs the world. In an effort to disguise this fact and make a public show of denouncing their corporate overlords, the government permitted a study to prove some vaccines are unnecessary. Does this mean anything in the long run? Will the government throw off its shackles? The answer to both questions is a resounding no.

Why Airport Security is broken and how to fix it. - 1 views

  •  
    published Aprl. 15, 2012 ; how the TSA can elimate the banned item list and become a little more fluid in the items they disallow to carry.
  •  
    It is broke. I think we should look at the way Israel handles their airport security.
  •  
    I looked up how Israel handles with airport security & find this news article: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2011/01/whats_so_great_about_israeli_security.html Sadly, I was not aware of Israel's security. However, I relate to this a great deal since this past May & June I went to Afghanistan - and I was traveling with an Afghan citizen. I understand why they would be more cautious. Our coming back flight stopped in Dubai and we expected to have problems coming into the USA, but we also faced issues in Amsterdam. We were questioned a little longer than the other people - almost missed the flight because of it, twice - in Amsterdam & in the USA to coming to Phoenix. However, it did not bother us - we knew we would face issues. I don't even know how many times I was x-rayed - or how much time we spent talking to officials a little longer than everyone else and it happened everywhere we stopped, not only in the USA! I agree with these terms of not being so strict when leaving the USA, but coming back I could understand why the security was a little tighter.

    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.
