1/30/12 - violette and his pension

I think that Violette should still be getting his pension money because as the article said, he has already payed off everything and he will need it to pay off the debut he incurred. Although it does seem unfair that he is going to keep his pension, he still has to go to jail for at most 5 years.

school lunches 1/26/12

I believe that the government has an obligation to provide healthy for kids in school because in a sense it is the governments job to take care of the citizens in this country. I also think this is true because I don't think kids know how to eat healthy and so the government can help them make healthy choices.

job hopping- 1/24/12

I agree with what this article is saying about job hopping because it takes up time to move and adapt to different job environments, and if you stick with a job you will get better at it and promoted. It does not look good to frequently change jobs either, people may think that you are unreliable.

I do not think that it's important to censor the internet because even though there are many sites that have free things, the censorship would take away from You tube and Wikipedia, which are two sites I use daily. So I do not approve of the censorship of the internet.

Censoring the internet 1/18/12

I do not believe the bill being proposed is a good idea because my life and millions of other children lives revolve around certain sites around the internet. Also it would ruin jobs for many people working in sites. It would also not let people get free things that is a nice perk.

1/13/12-nike goddess

It makes sense that the company Nike got its name from the goddess Nike because Nike is the Goddess of Victory. Nike, the company, wants people to believe that if they wear their shoes they will win games or athletics that they are in. So that is why Nike, the company, used Nike the goddess for their name.

1/11/12 Lamb of the Slaughter

The story is about a women named Mary Maloney who ends up murdering her husband, how is a detective, with a frozen lamb leg after he says that they should get divorced. Mary ends up trying to make everything seem normal and just go to the grocery store to buy food and puts the frozen lamb leg in the oven to get rid of the evidence. She then calls the police and tells them that when she came back from the grocery, that her husband was dead. The police search the house for clues and ask her questions, but find no evidence for who killed him. Mary ends up getting more evidence taken out of the way by making the cops drink the whiskey that the husband was drinking earlier, and by making them eat the lamb leg that she was cooking. And she most likely ends up getting away with the murder.

1/5/12

I do believe that this is a good idea because it would help people understand who they want getting their welfare. For example a man said,“if ‘those people’ are going to take my money, I should have a say in who gets it”. I agree with this statement because I think that that's a valid point.

1/3/12

I spent my vacation staying in Maine and hanging out with my friends and relaxing around my house. My vacation was a blast and I wished that it lasted longer because it felt very short.
