This is an article focusing on Obama's piece of mind regarding the government shutdown. He and I both think it's a waste of time for our government. The fact that a single republican, John Boehner is currently the person controlling how and when the government shutdown will end is wrong. One person should not be in control of the congress on funds that have already been approved. Boehner and republicans refuse to reopen the government as long as Obama doesn't go in front of 20 million people and basically tell them they can't have health insurance.

Why does John Boehner have that power? How well did this strategy work for Republicans? What will happen with the debt ceiling discussion looming ahead in our future?

The Iranian government briefly lifted their blocks of social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday of this week - only to put them back the following day. These Iranian blocks of websites came about after the 2009 riots that were the direct result of social networking sites. - These types of social networking sites promote so much networking, knowledge and idea sharing and communication that they must be accessed by those with the technology - not blocked by a fearful government.

Do you agree with Reza that the Iran government may have turned off the block to catch more people using these prohibited sites? Why would a government like Iran want to limit this access? How does this reinforce the importance of the basic American First Amendment right to a free press?

An article from Forbes that states that the current government shutdown (even a potentially prolonged one) will probably have little to no affect on the stock market.

This article is about how the Taliban is, once again, attacking government buildings in Afghanistan like they do every spring when the weather warms up in the mountains. The reason they do this every spring is to try and regain control of the government of Afghanistan. It is my understanding that their motive is to control the global opium market and ultimate wealth. I believe this is reliable information because it is on the CNN website and they have a good reputation for accurate news. I have learned that the Taliban is very persistent and violent. I can't imagine living in a country where a violent terrorist group is trying to overthrow the government every spring. I feel that must be an unsafe place to live, work, and try and raise a family, and am glad I live in the U.S.

If you haven't heard of Monsanto and how they are the primary cause of why about 90% of soy grown in the U.S. is genetically modified, you might be living under a rock. Nevertheless, this article just informs the reader of how yet another company is filing suit against Monsanto, and this time in the UK.

This site allows you to look at hundreds of questions written by other people. There are many categories of questions, everything from Biology, to Mathematics, to computers, to Physics.

The purpose of this article is to show the similarities and differences between the English, French and Spanish Colonists during the founding of the New World. There are many topics covered in this article, however the most important topic is the colonists and how they are different even though they came from the same continent: Europe. This articles is a comparison of the three colonists groups and which group would be the best suited to colonize the New World. This is a very useful source to use as notes or to help you debate a certain side, because it shows you the group's strong points as well as the drawbacks.

The Obama Administration and the EPA have officially announced their intent to cut current coal power plant carbon emissions by forty percent. Experts in the field of power production say that these new regulations are impossible to achieve without extremely expensive prototype-based carbon capture technology. These new regulations will certainly have a huge impact on the cost of electricity in the coming years.

So do you see a parallel to the fire regulations you have been researching? Do you see a similar impact on cost? Will these costs impact in any way the enforcement of these regulations? Do the benefits outweigh the costs?

Effects on the Brain As THC enters the brain, it causes the user to feel euphoric-or high-by acting on the brain's reward system, which is made up of regions that govern the response to pleasurable things like sex and chocolate, as well as to most drugs of abuse.

I wonder if MH had a chance to think about how this science might impact the legislation, one of the areas being explored in the research.

This is A recap of all that's happened in Syria so far, and hopefully what will happen in the future. Its still up in the air right now.

Obama said it was not for America to determine who would lead Syria, but he added: "A leader who slaughtered his citizens and gassed children to death cannot regain the legitimacy to lead a badly fractured country." Does anyone know what this quote has to do with the Natural Rights Philosophy 18th century philosopher John Locke wrote about in Two Treatise of Government?
