In Brad Hamilton and Susan Edelman's article in the New York Post, "Bloomberg's ban prohibits 2-liter soda with your pizza and some nightclub mixers"(23rd February 2013), the authors summarize the ban that will begin Tuesday March 12, 2013 with the soda. Also they talk about how it's not fair that they are taking it away from people who have businesses that receive letter grades.
There are many people who purchase a gun, they say its for protection but you never know when it is going to be used. There was once a group of zebras that were just looking for a new home they wanted their home to be safe and to have a lot of food and water. It was hard to find the right spot so they had to search really hard. They were all passing by a group of elephants and out of nowhere the elephants all gathered up and started to attack the zebras they started to kick and move away them. The zebras weren’t looking for trouble all they were looking for was to find a right home.
I woke up in the strangest of places this morning. The room was bare, all except for the metal bars locking me in. The walls were gray, and all was silent. The lights were dim, so I could hardly see. The worst part was that I could speak, I could understand everything, but at the same time I had no idea who I was. My past was completely erased, forgotten, destroyed. I felt new, but at the same time, worn and tired. Though I knew nothing about myself, I had a feeling that I was put here for a reason.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been
the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. I remember my mother talking about it when it happened, but I didn’t learn about it much because I was working and I barely had time to watch the news. It was all over the news and media, so much different information they had I didn’t want to get confused so i figured i’d wait until the real story was set.
The strong should help out the weak. I think that welfare should be kept. I feel this way for many various reasons.
Keep in mind that many people are not “lazy” but still in poverty. Hence, not many jobs are being offered. These people rely on welfare just to survive day by day. Without this many people would starve without it. Many lives are at stake if you take welfare away from them. We need to keep this not only because of hunger but for other reasons.
I wanted to know how long we have til our non-renewable resources will run out and we have depleted them. Richard Sear a former VP for shell, believes that with the technology of today and tomorrow we will have a different way to use resources that they will last longer if not a new dependable resource all together. Thorium, is looking like a great new choice as a dependable resource. It is similar to nuclear energy, but does not have the harsh byproducts and is very cheap and commonly found.
Gun control laws are made to reduce crime using guns. Since there are gun control laws, there has been more gun voilence than ever. Gun control laws are the government's way of taking control of us.
My argument is that I think we should not need gun control laws. I feel this way because firearms were made to protect. Also it is the Second Amendment that says we have the right to bear arms, and they are slowly taking it away.
What is wrong with the world and what can we do to make a difference? Well I believe before one can make a difference we would have to understand what is wrong and right. But how do we know what’s wrong and right? It should be essential knowledge, generally assumed to come from parental guidance, religion or legal instruction.
People need to understand about the awful job the government did investigating the assassination of JFK. They need to understand the relationships between the US Government and his death, and the possibility of the Government being behind the whole thing. Just keep an open mind to the evidence.
JFK's death is still a mystery surrounded by inquiries such as the grassy knoll where the umbrella man, and dark complicated man were (signaling shooters), the magic bullet, and the CIA involvement.
In Matthew Yglesias’s opinion piece, “No Pennies for Your Thoughts,” from the Slate, an online newspaper, Matthew talks about how the penny costs the government a lot of money to make. He also discusses how many people still think the penny is made up of copper but during the 1940’s the American government was too busy worrying about beating Hitler than minting pennies and the other alternatives there were to copper. So in turn copper shortages arose and a new copper brass zinc alloy is what the penny was now made of.
In Emily Miller's opinion piece, "MILLER: Obama’s debt ultimatum", from The Washington Times, the author talks about how President Obama is trying to raise the debt limit and the author is against Obama on the issue and feels the statutory debt limit should not be raised.

In Brent Staples' opinion piece, "Why the United States Should Look to Japan for Better Schools" from "The New York Times" explains the decrease in education in America through out time with government and economy, and why the U.S should look to Japan in envy of the amazing Education system. Japan is the MOST technologically advanced country in the world with the best education system. The United States has not taken into account how teachers are trained and how they teach, effecting the children all throughout America. Japan trains their teachers like doctors and lawyers.
In Robert J. Samuelson's opinion piece, "The House should spend money to defend DOMA", from The Washington Post, the author puts forth his argument, as well as strong opinion, over why he believes it is okay for the government to follow through with their system by protecting the law even if it means sacrificing a little money for the cause. Yet even as Robert defends his side of the matter, he gives way to his opposers by stating: "Now, that’s not to say there’s no reason to bash House Republicans for continuing to support DOMA.
In Joe Nocera's opinion piece, "The Foreclosure Fiasco," from The New York Times, the author places blame on the federal bank regulators for the bad management of the 8.5 billion dollar settlement between 10 banks over their foreclosure.

He clearly disapproves of said Republicans' actions, while endorsing acceptable amendments that redirect enough money towards the necessitated people in the affected states.
In an opinion piece by Alex Cortes, “Reforming a Congress That Spends Like Teenagers,” from FoxNews.com, the author likens Congress to a teenager who has past the borrowing limit on his credit card. He reasons that the parents of Congress, the taxpayers, allow the borrowing limit to become endless with no change in how the money is spent. He believes that the Republicans recognize this problem while the Democrats will keep the routine of a greedy teenager.
In Xiao Shu's opinion piece, "Dim Hopes for a Free Press in China", from the New York Times, the author bitterly describes her experience with the Chinese government's overly oppressive government's censorship of the press, and her forced resignation with no explanation or room for dispute. Because she has been pushed out of her job by the overly controlling government, she has noticed the bigger picture of the Chinese government's control.
In an article I found, t contains a point that I’ve always thought about but never actually found an article that discussed it regarding the recent legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington and the possible legalization's of it in seven other states.
As I begin my research into the depths of the US Government I thought there would be no better place to start then one of our countries greatest tragedies: 9/11. An article talking about the movie "Loose Change" showed how the movie backed its arguments with the evidence of experts. A physicist said he found explosive material in the rubble of the twin towers, and an architect claims that it would be impossible for the entire tower to fall just due to the plane crash. The impact from the plane alone never should have caused the collapse of the entire tower.
“Obama, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, everyone is Illuminati! Starting from George Washington to Barack Obama, from every conspiracy theory to every accusation, the Illuminati made it all happen!”
The Government is supposed to stand up for us. But every time we turn around something happens. I might not know what their hiding but I know they're hiding something. I had this feeling for a very long time. They blame us for violence but not helping, do they really care? Our lives are in hands of people that we might not be able to trust.
George Orwell discusses in his dystopian novel, "1984", an elusive leader, named "Big Brother," who is plastered all over London- whether its posters scaring the citizens with the phrase "Big Brother is watching you," or reveled through the cult-like worship ritual called "two minutes hate." Big Brother is simply unescapable.
When I first read about the mysterious, threatening "Big Brother," it had me frightened for the characters in a book, leaving me with the impression that the society of Oceania was so far away from our modern-day America....but is it really?
