Gambling Immoral


Gambling: "Yes" or "No." As far as Texas was concerned, lottery gambling is considered to be braking the law until the mid-1980s when the lottery was approved. I always thought it was ironic that the state of Texas decided that gambling was OK when you gamble on the state-controlled lottery. My question has always been "Why is gambling illegal lottery in the first place?" What is the point of gambling against the law? Are we protected from loss or scammed out of our hard earned money? I have no answer to this question, and I'm pretty sure no one answer that makes sense.

Gamble, gamble or not, that is the question ..

We can sit around and play "what if" game all day and look for signs of unethical behavior, and then try to regulate it. My question has always been this: If I go to work and earn money, whose job is that if you decide to gamble with my money? Who decides if gambling could be considered wasteful and immoral? Why would we want someone the power to decide when to spend our money? Let me understand this, if I spend $ 1,500 in a poker game and lose your money, but the law itself, because I'm wasting my money? What about the person who took my money? Are you also break the law? I have a brilliant idea! How about that! "Stay the hell out of my wallet, and let me decide what, where and how I want to spend their money. Why not try it?

If you control the gambling:

Why can not control other parts of our lives too? How about that person in the shop inspect our foods decide when we have enough Twinkies or chips? It seems to me that obesity is a growing problem (no pun intended) in relation to gambling. How about limiting the amount of people who can spend money on toys, such as jet skies, bass, motorcycles, boats and plasma TVs, etc? Who protects us from wasting our money in these cases?

Some people think that gambling is immoral.

When it comes to gambling, I have just one question for you, have you ever been on the corner of Coit and Campbell, and made a left turn? Trust me to die, and not with their money, but with your life! Did you ever drive up-time hour during rush hour? You are gambling every time you step into the car. Who am I hurt when I sit at the poker table and play, your family? What should I do with my money, instead, buy beer and cigarettes, take skydiving lessons? Just so I understand the rules in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex: I can pay to jump from an airplane, buying wine, cigars, pay money to see naked women dance, rent XXX movies, bungee jump from the tower, shooting people with paint balls in imitation of war, But I can not sit down and play a card game?

It seems to me that the state of Texas says: "Gambling is fine as long as they do with us."

And that's okay with you? Why not allow the state of Texas will be the only source for shoes? If you want to buy shoes, you have to buy them from the state. They could charge $ 500 for a pair of shoes and make you 1000 times, all in the name of "raising money for the children." Did you know that the Texas Lottery collects at least 50 percent of VIG (VIG is the percentage of the house fee for running the game). Let's compare the Texas lottery to other forms of gambling, such as in casinos playing craps can have less than 2 percent of VIG (depending on how you play), Roulette has less than 6% of VIG. Keno (which is really a lottery), has between 18 and 34 percent of VIG (25% average). Texas Lottery collects at least 50 percent of VIG (more than twice as much the worst game in the casino, which is Keno). Exactly who they are taking advantage of this high VIG? The poor, uneducated, people without a computer? If the Texas Lottery Casino in Las Vegas, no one would ever play with such lousy odds.

With that being said, I enjoy gambling and I still play the lottery

Am I a hypocrite for gambling in Texas Lottery? Maybe so, or maybe I'm playing because I love gambling and I realize that this is the only game in town. However, if I had a choice I'd rather be gambling with better odds, or perhaps in another game. My point is, "Make up your mind, whether gambling is immoral and should be banned or not." What is immoral is that one organization to have a monopoly on the game, then it would be illegal to compete. The competition in the gambling was good, just like everything else, gambling in the open market always reduces cost, improves quality and gives the buyer the best deal. It is my opinion.

The Beginning


The most famous of all the mythological creation begins with the sentence in the Old Testament, Genesis 1:01: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Now we may have invented the concept of creation in order to give our gods actually do something. Sadly, for instance in the case of Genesis that God and Peters after only six days! Now what? Anyway, back to Genesis 1:1.

Now I do not know who actually wrote Genesis 1:1, it certainly was not a supernatural omnipotent, omniscient, deity. Who, however, was obsessed with the knowledge that it would not be expected to think that they are knowable or even suspected way back then. Now that someone who wrote Genesis 1:1 was entitled to know such things, that the sky (the sky and beyond) and the earth were created, however, knew these things. Now that suggests that someone else who knows these things, informed by Genesis 1:1. If you believe in time travel, we may be in the 21 century (or later) that are better known, traveled back in time and told him (or her), although this is unlikely in the extreme. That someone is probably not terrestrial.

Now every cultural mythology has a story or create stories, and that should not be the case based on firsthand observation of the human. If the proposed "First" scenario should be based on your personal observations and understanding of the natural world as you see it, or the historical record. So, something a little funny here because it is likely the same people who should not doubt any such thing as to create a really wrote all those making mythology! And these creations are all unique one-off creations. God only gave birth 'to Adam and Eve (or humanity) once. Thus, it is unique (once) the creation mythology, such as Genesis 1:1, which are confusing, not to say the creation, as they say the birth of your cat. The birth, dawn, etc. may create varieties, but this is not unique. This is not a single Big Bang "In the beginning," the beginning.

Can you, in day-to-day observations of the sky and earth (or universe and all life), we assume nothing more than heaven and earth that has always existed? Heaven is what exists above our heads, a country that exists beneath our feet. Since there is no man who ever lived, which can not be attributed to the knowledge of above and below ground, could not confirm any animal or plant species popping into existence in time and space, you need to make? Maybe Genesis 01:01 should read "From the beginning of an infinite God only enjoyed overseeing the eternal heavens and the earth and directs the events that followed them." To our historical ancestors, who were expected to have made more sense.

It is often easier, as in the above quotation was invented, to accept something that has always been and always will be, but to try to explain how he came to be in the first place, especially if it is not all that obvious that it (whatever "again interested in) is always necessary to get to be first.

Whatever you are interested come in standard forms. There are a variety of creations in mythology are quite universal.

The creation of the universe is a case in point, the stationary point of light in the night sky - the stars. Now the fact that the patterns in the night sky do not change from your birth until death, and are not altered in comparison to historical records, suggest something unchanging, and therefore no need to start or creation.

Creation of the heavens includes those moving point of light in the night sky - the sun, moon and planets. The problem here is that they are constantly repeated, and move around in circles. In fact, if you think that is a circle or an ellipse, which is its starting point?

Creation of the Earth is a universal myth, but as a universal fact that there is no one watching or record anywhere, anytime, that Terra Firma does not exist.

Create and separation from the earth, the sea and the sky is still a near universal story, but has the same complaint - all the personal observations and historical records note, and sign all three, so why not assume separate land / sea / sky interface has always been?

Making your area or nation is another case in point. The Japanese have a mythology that accounts for the creation of Japan, but there are no people around when Japan was 'created' by various natural geological forces.

The creation of life is the second part of the Genesis creation story, but it is hardly unique in the Old Testament. May you have a number of pets, cats say. Individual cats were born and then die, but the concept of a common cat going back and forth and back, but the earliest human records. So, why is there a need for God (or any other deity or a natural process for that matter) to create a cat? Do cats always there?

The creation of man from God (or in other cultures the gods) is puzzling since it was never a time when the historical record, it was reported that a human being (who could confirm a real historical figure) was aware that the first man and therefore human beings are created.

The need for mythology is not all that difficult to explain, but the creation mythology is difficult to explain because a witness statement indicates that as things stand as they always were. At the heart of this mystery is the concept of infinity. You have a personal beginning and ending, but I really can not imagine at the beginning or end. This is because the nagging question that always pops up, "and that was before the" and "what will happen after that" - cause and effect, infinite, cause and effect. It is not difficult to keep extrapolating back and forth and back in time without running out of 'back'. It is not difficult to keep extrapolating forward and back and forth in time without running out of 'forward'.

Infinity: Your personal observations require things to be in progress in a linear sense (no beginning, no end) or cyclic (round and round she goes, where it stops, nobody knows) - there is no alpha, no first cause, and not omega, no last effect - but it is still in progress in all matters of causation.

Combinations of two types of infinity, the birth - death, the most fundamental of all measurements, and this is repeated and repeated and repeated. Each individual birth - death is linear and uniform, but on a larger scale birth leads to death, but before that there is another death and birth wheels just go around and around - different players, same scenario. So what is the need to propose a first birth, the first record?

LINEAR INFINITY: infinity from the last, eventually formed his great, great grandparents, great grandparents, grandparents, parents, children, children's children, childrens, childrens children to future infinity. There is no beginning, so there is no room. Or, in the introductory words of the show "Ben Casey", "Man, Woman, Birth: Death: Infinity".

Cyclical INFINITY: Seasons are cyclical, Sunrise / sunset the same phases of the moon is also cyclical, going around the planet. No circuit has a beginning, therefore, not making you apply.

Among other large terrestrial cycles, not all apparent within a human lifetime, or sometimes not obvious without scientific analysis, we are rock cycle (compression - erosion), water cycle (evaporation - precipitation), the carbon cycle (carbon dioxide - carbon + oxygen), nitrogen cycle, and the other as well.

INFINITY Causality: Cause and effect, every day in any way to observe the cause and effect. The cause, however, the effect of previous causes. The effect in turn causes something else to happen. Thus, the word 'cause' and 'effect' are synonymous. Again, can not be the first cause, nor the final effect.

If each record can be consulted, the memories of his own memory of your elders elders Elder's all written and pictorial records, and you note, without exception, in that all the record that lions roam the plains of Africa, then you must assume that Africa is still there and that's always wandering lions and did so on the plains of Africa. You do not have evidence to the contrary. What logical reason for assuming that you have not always been so? So, what is needed to create a mythology that creates the lava, creating their roaming around capabilities, and creates plains of Africa and for them to wander in? No pressure or an obvious need to speculate that "initially" deity created the Africa, the African plains to the deity of the lions to roam in.

The solution is that while you can not get to create compelling stories, modern science can be. Modern cosmology is now talking about "In the beginning of 'Big Bang event. Darwin and the paleontologists tell us that once upon a time there were no lions and geologists claim that there was no way of uniquely African continent, and climatologists note that there were no plains in Africa. Woe , creating a mythology of modern science dates back thousands of years, so we're back to square one. answer lies elsewhere, but again with those who are still more knowledgeable than us. They no longer know, all those thousands of years were 'gods' or advanced IMHO (Modern scholars, and then some) alien. ET talks about "the beginning" boldly went where our modern Earth scientists have only now just treading.

Now these 'gods' is often credited for some of these creations have had a rogue-all to do with (as God in the Old Testament as told in the Book of Genesis). In many cases, the creation stories are muddied because the old people, who at the end of the scribes who wrote down these stories as told ET, would not, for example, understand the Big Bang cosmology, but could not cope with the golden cosmic egg that hatched. Modern genetics is so much mumbo-jumbo, but it creates a woman from the rib of the male, while mysterious, in their understanding of the ballpark. Modern geology and plate tectonics would be double Dutch to ancient Japan, but this is a perfect sense of the original pair of their gods to stir the ocean with a spear and salt crystallizes on top of that he became the first of many Japanese islands, all created their gods.

In short: Can you, all by yourself, based on your life-long observation, I came up with the demand that the sun and the moon need a creator? Or that the stars in the sky were actually infinite eternal, but must be the creator? Or, those members of our own species, human beings are not always around, and always will be about? There is nothing to observe, or to any of your ancestors observed, which might in any way lead you to postulate, to recognize and accept all the ultimate "at the beginning (s)". If so, then my ancient astronauts ET This scenario is a viable alternative to the thesis.

Public Records


Public records provide an opportunity for individuals and businesses to explore the vast amount of data. The information present in the records has data on individuals, their personal life and all the necessary information that one expects from the record. Saying it in business terms, these records contain details about the taxation of property details, valuation, growth potential in the future, taking its geographical location and population.

To put it in simple words, public records are public records that contain any detail about the person or property. There are many benefits associated with such a person the government. But if we are able to let out our personal lives available over the internet? This is one of the major problems and may create a danger to society if they do not set things right. The data are very useful in one direction and have a negative impact when they are misused. Individual's privacy is breached and easily create inconveniences hampering its environmental reputation in society. It is important to introduce a strict solution or factors that can control the entire data availability to the public.

Provided below are some of the solutions that can be implemented to protect the privacy of individuals.

First Reduce your data:

Every individual has a life of their privacy and wants to keep it for yourself. Reputation is interfering with the creation of public access to personal data. In such cases, it can be planned for the availability of data that does not contain any additional information. Name, address, job history, address and telephone number may be available. Provide only the information the party seeks. This reduces the invasion of individual privacy.

Second Auto redaction systems:

It is well used car redaction systems in courts that allow labeling of sensitive and confidential information in the case. This will prevent the same search is performed when using a public records database. Social credit card numbers, account numbers, investment information and medical information can be in hidden mode.

Third Review of public policies and their objectives will be helpful.

After a simple and effective rules will help create a public record that does not pump out sensitive information. Depending on the application and the agency that requested details, full information may be available after verifying the reason given by the agency. After that will be helpful in protecting the privacy of individuals and to stop the growth of financial fraud and identity theft.

Cherry Investigation


I do not try to make jokes, what I do for a good roll on the floor every now and then just watch what the government is then to report just the facts. Consider the latest debacle or a bad joke, you, the FDA is trying to play on the public. The FDA has now said that the good old healthy cherries are eaten by millions of people for millennia, according to the FDA, unapproved drug! Tut, these are the same people who said eggs is bad for you 20 years ago.

1999 according to a report

According to a report of substantiated "Journal of natural products" in 1999, the facts bore out tart cherries less pain relief 33% better than the anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin.

It's known for years for people who suffer from gout who consumed up to three liters more than three days to get rid of the pain. The problem is cherry with a lot of carbohydrates, so it's easier to take in capsule form, and reduces inflammation in a much smaller doses of aspirin.

Cherries then a rival anti-inflammatory drugs

In the above study 20 cherries reduces swelling when eating like that of aspirin without the side effects or depletion of minerals and vitamins in the body.

Growers are bloviating research pointing to their website what cherries can do for you when out of nowhere, the FDA sent letters to eight nine p.m. warning saying that it will take legal action if the breeders can not shake off science from their seats.

Does this sound like the FDA Power Mad?

If power is not crazy then extremely irrational behavior could be inferred from these agencies and behavior when you put the power in the mixture becomes very dangerous for breeders who are only trying to earn a living. It is, of course, is not at the news, the FDA had the power mad disorder in the past 20 years.

Government Accounting Office

GAO Report nailed almost twenty years, said: "The GAO found that of 198 drugs approved between 1976 and 1985 KB 102 (or 51.5%) had serious post-approval risks .... posted serious risks of approval. Included .. heart failure, myocardial infarction, anaphylaxis, respiratory depression and arrest, seizures, kidney and liver failure, several blood disorders, birth defects and fetal toxicity and blindness. "
With this abysmal record continues well into this century just need to watch the new ads for new drugs that are approved for the U.S. market by the FDA that they have at the end of the ad states, oh by the way this drug could kill you with a nice long list of things that would it might do to your body and brain (Vioxx comes to mind.)

Busy Drug Approval

The FDA has years of dueling against their right to use healthy organic foods and dietary supplements like vitamins and minerals in their diet, and they are putting their stamp of approval on the deadly patent drugs that could kill in a heartbeat!

FDA Science & Mission in danger

In 2007, former FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan, MD, said: "Over the last decade, complex scientific advances, globalization and challenging new safety issues have combined to multiply the responsibilities FDA as it is clearly a new report. Our expectations may not exceed the resources we give FDA to accomplish its mission. In this regard, more is definitely better. "There is no mention of hiring competent researchers and scientists to come to reasonable conclusions about the drug in the study.

FDA reform is needed

Some want additional resources to throw at the agency problem as well as more cash will always resolve what it takes! What is really needed is a reform that is overdue time. Firing of those who approve of the deadly dangerous patented prescription drugs to an unsuspecting public will not only enhance the credibility of the agency, but will set the standard that they themselves will have to live up to. Change is needed before or more types of drug Vioxx will be put in the hopper for mass consumption that could prove lethal to the FDA's reputation and image. Health for all of us should be the goal here.

God And Conspiracies


Conspiracy, a secret plan to commit a crime ... (Oxford American Dictionary)

First, let me admit that I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories, and because I am a big fan of conspiracy theories, I am also a fan from coast to coast radio. I also compare yourself to the wine connoisseur. I collect conspiracy theories the way some people collect, but as a connoisseur of wine, do not get drunk on conspiracies, but I have tasted.

We always soberly observe what we have heard about conspiracies.

Over the years I have heard many conspiracy theorists have warned that our future conditions and extinction. You look at some of the conclusions of conspiracies that we are victims of godless communists, aliens from outer space, now discovered a mysterious Planet X or strange creatures of the earth. The last few doomsday scenarios may not conspiratorial in nature, but I just threw them to the effect of such conspiratorial claims.

Although there may be some truth in these allegations, I think that many of the claims that are false. I believe that many false claims began to despair of people frustrated by their lack of control over life circumstances. They need to blame someone for his own capabilities.

Such beliefs, as well as to let the blame, because they lead down the path of unholy actions. In the Middle Ages, European Christians blamed Jews for the plague, before the Second World War Europe, Hitler blamed the Communists for the Reichstag fire, and Nero blames the Christians for the burning of Rome on behalf of the couple. I'm sure you can think a little more.

I want to regress, if I could. I believed in the POW / MIA conspiracy floating around during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some Vietnam veteran and a private group of people will be happy to supply you with proof that we leave our prisoners of North Vietnamese government. I do not intend to discuss these actions in leaving this point, but only for the use of POW / MIA as an example. Nixon played the part of villain then Reagan replaced him, to replace Clinton. Again, you need someone to blame in the development of a solid conspiracy theory.

The communist Vietnamese get an answer to the last answer to this question. They killed most lacking in their prison system. This discovery was made by the founders of this conspiracy is very unfortunate.

You have the right to ask why they will be happy that we finally have an answer to the missing service men. Can you give an obvious answer to this question and every other conspiracy. People who push the conspiracy to make a lot of money from him, and they get attention. They work in the media talk show circuit peddling her book. Now, those people who have become experts in their current conspiracy theories, have to struggle to find a new one.

If you call a true Christian, you have to ask this question, "Does God know about this conspiracy theory?" My answer would be yes! We characterize God as an "omniscient", so he knows about the conspiracy theory that will expose him. Being a Christian or a Jew, a better knowledge of the Book of Esther.

The writer of the book Esther shows us that God will destroy a conspiracy against those he loves. The conspiracy goes like this. Persian name Hamman hated Mordecai the Jew, for his lack of respect. So, he was convinced that King Ahasuerus to kill not only Mordecai, but all the Jews in Persia. God used Esther to end Hamman plan. At the end of Hamman died on the gallows built to hang Mordecai. (Esther chapters 5-10).

It is written in the Bible, the dark secrets that are shouted from the rooftops. Nothing can be hidden from God, because the conspiracy which will be presented in light of the truth of God for his love towards us. Also, if you know the parts of the conspiracy, for example, via the coast to coast radio, then it could be a conspiracy? Remember, a true conspiracy means a secret conspiracy. One possible answer to propant of conspiracy could be argued that people do not listen to coast to coast, no worries. While this may be an honest answer, my answer would be to know, so that it can not be true conspiracy.

Social Networking


There are very few secrets in the world over. This is mainly due to the fact that social networking has opened up a world where almost every thought going on the web for all the "friends" to see. This phenomenon has caused the family to Split, the marriage to be dissolved and children experience their parents' unfiltered thoughts on a daily basis. Is putting your thoughts out for all to read every day, sometimes hourly, basis for a number of problems for society as a whole, or it has opened a world of freedom of speech and opinion for all? Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard once said: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Is his idea come to life in the society we have created online? Is social networking to connect people, or pushing our society more deeply into our self-made solitary confinement?

These issues are taken very seriously by many different groups of people. Online bullying has become an overwhelming problem with teenagers and young adults, and in the workplace. Without proper security measures, all you people put in these public areas subject to scrutinized and looked at anyone in the world. Studies have been working on the impact on the amount of time that teens and young adults spend in this online universe in relation to the time they actually spend a peer contact. Is this a way of interacting with others, constructive, healthy activity, or is it just another way to seclude a person and hide behind a computer screen?

All these risks aside, what is it that society is teaching young people in the world? Is it constructive networking tool for businesses and professionals? Or is it time consuming risk factor for their future? Used properly, social networking can be a great asset to the general public. However, employers ban sites from office network due to reduced productivity, are getting angry arguments over things "published", and both men and women are stalking their spouses because of the suspicion of infidelity.

So social networking is actually used for the global society, or Devil in disguise? Scientists continue to work and study conclusions, but, as the old saying goes: "Everything is good in moderation." Using this method as the only social outlet is not only harmful to social skills and interaction, but may cause more problems and stress on the body and mind, if used in excess. Beware of what you put out for all to see. Once it is put in the viral world, it is here to stay.

CJ Mackey is a working mother of three children, balancing on a full time career by taking an active role in their children's lives. It has an advanced degree in engineering and over twenty years of technology solutions for Fortune 500 companies.

Protects Obama


Do not assume that President Obama is terribly upset because of the bad behavior of his secret service protectors in Colombia. The President now knows that a well timed scandal can be a very useful thing.

As Obama begins to speed his re-election campaign seriously - recent Rolling Stone interview, entitled "Are you ready for a fight" - he reaches out to young voters, one of the key building blocks that have put him in office four years ago.

After all, he was not slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon last week for the benefit of people like me. In the same vein, his picking a fight with Republicans about student loans is calculated to rally students and recent graduates on the president's side.

The president is less keen to talk to young voters about marijuana and its role as supreme commander in the war against drugs.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Obama said publisher Jann Wenner, "What I specifically said not to go to prioritize prosecution of people who use medical marijuana. I never made a commitment that we are somehow going to give a free hand for the big-manufacturers and operators of marijuana - The reason is because of the federal law can not annul the law of Congress ".. He admitted that the gray area exists in the form of large pharmacies, he said, "can provide medical marijuana users, but in some cases can be supplied with recreational users." (1)

It is not just medical marijuana users, however, who feel left out in the cold position of president. While they, along with some of Obama's more liberal supporters say they feel betrayed by the administration continued to attack pharmacies in states where medical marijuana is legal, Latin American leaders call for new drug war strategies.

In America in Cartagena Summit, Obama rejected the legalization as the answer to those who spread violence and corruption on both sides of the border (although mostly outside the United States). "I personally and my administration's view that legalization is not the answer, that in fact if you think about how they will finish the work, the ability of major drug trafficking dominate the country, if it was legally allowed to work without restrictions could be equally damaging, if not more damaging than the status quo, "he said, according to BBC. (2)

The president's argument is that if the drug becomes just another big Latin American business, such as mining, coffee and tourism industry will be "as damaging, if not more corrupt," as the status quo, which currently lead to decimation of honest businesses, murder of a journalist, and buying or burying of prosecutors and judges.

Obama's comment, divorced from reality, reflects America's drug policy is "just say no, and spend more money on enforcement," which has achieved nothing constructive in more than four decades. Drugs remain freely available in the U.S., and the drug war costs for companies producing and transit countries to mount.

At a news conference in Cartagena, President of the Guatemalan Otto Perez Molina called for a "responsible and serious dialogue in which scientifically analyze what is happening with the war against drugs." (2) This is not Obama wants to have dialogue, but he does not want American voters to focus on its slavish devotion to failed policies, either.

Enter the secret service scandal that came along just in time to push the drug question in the title.

By the end of last week, nine secret service members resigned or were forced from the agency because of alleged misconduct involving prostitutes. Two dozen people, half the members of the Secret Service and a half of military personnel, came under investigation in the affair. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called for an independent audit,. Senator Patrick Leahy, D-VT, responded to this request is purely a political maneuver.

The President has some maneuvering their own. He was happy to talk about the secret service in her Jimmy Fallon appearance, where, according to CNN, Obama said that "99.9%" of secret service agents do great work, and "[...] a couple of knuckleheads should not take away from what they do. "

The President is not in any hurry to explain to students that drug use leads to a lottery, as a large percentage of them play. In most cases, recreational use of marijuana will not hurt your career or your future. Occasionally, however, someone who is in the wrong place at the wrong time will find his or her life changed forever because of his arrest on drug free.

Hypocrisy is stunning. We had three baby boomer president, and although the last two to avoid getting caught up in President Clinton's rationalization, we can safely assume all three is, in fact, breathe. All have gone on to chair the policies of drugs that destroy people's lives for doing the same.

I've written before about the reasons for legalization is overdue. I'm still waiting for the government to treat marijuana like milk, which the manufacturers claim that they can not survive without federal price supports, or to admit that cannabis is not, in fact, have application in medicine. In the meantime, it is clear that the prohibition does not work. Even those who do not support the legalization of total start over propose reasonable alternatives in the face of such obvious failure.

The President does not want to talk to young voters around the pot. Coincidentally timed sex scandal means that, for now, he does not have to.

Facet Of Media


With the world increasingly smaller every day, realizing the importance of ethics has never been so necessary.

There are hundreds of television channels, striving to gain higher ratings and viewers understand the attention. Newspapers can go to any extent that the summer heat of the story without losing any time. They totally ignore the fact that over the fact that they are putting in danger, or what the results of their stories. They are directed to hear their stories and stressed!

Scandals have been made relating to every walk of life, whether it be a politician criticized mercilessly, movie star under fire for his past connections and luxury product is described as a necessity for the audience. Media is the first player to frame the perception of something or someone. Talk shows a significant influence on human thinking and always with a kind of conspiracy theories, creating confusion among people. Cleverly, they make big problems out of nothing, on the other hand completely ignores mentioning. They are fully aware of their strengths and ensure that they take advantage of all of it. Undoubtedly, they can make people superhero or a complete loser.

Emotions are stirred for inappropriate cravings, especially among teenagers and young adults, pollutes your mind to commit things that are unwanted and unloved by most societies around the world. They force people to buy things they do not need. Consumers buy them for maintenance of status, peer pressure, desire and pointless. In addition, social media is increasing at an alarming rate, where anyone can create posts, and spread them without giving much thought.

Everything is good for media professionals, unless and until they earn their income. The question is whether it makes sense to give so much power to someone else? For what amount should the viewers and readers of these media mechanisms of trust in them? How can one draw boundaries to their actions?

However, the media has also played a constructive liability. They are made on issues of common man on the stage and gave them a voice in the most affordable ways, which was previously a dream for them. Many are led to notice the fraud. Social problems are mentioned for people to know how to develop. Information is shared with one corner of the world to another in no time. But we need to assess the value of payoffs if they harm?

Now, we as consumers of media mechanisms necessary to stain the effort to understand the issues before making any decisions. Sincere efforts can also be taken by the industry experts to educate people to be aware of the tools in the game. Every country should have its active regulatory body to monitor the activities of the media. International Forum on the internet can also be employed to inform people around the world to believe them after inspection.

The media must respect and recognize people privacy intrusions of any kind can hurt feelings and personal relationships. Content that does not offend the sensitivity should be used only for the creation of media hype. Personal prejudices should not be involved when dealing with public affairs.

But with so much competition, media ethics can be a reality? Is the media are willing to stick to moral values ​​ahead of his persistent desire for revenue? Can ethics and media blend together to provide reliable content and peace for the users? Answer these profound questions is very difficult.

Economic Meltdown


After 12 years of losing credit bubble finally burst in the housing market, now is the time to fix what was damaged and that the U.S. economy. President Obama's first move was to bail out Wall Street, which was an idea that began with his former predecessor, George W. Bush. Further, President Obama has decided to create a package of measures known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is estimated at about $ 787 billion, which was later increased to 840 billion dollars to be more inline with what the president wanted to spend for 2012.

The package of incentives covered a wide range of consumer, such as giving perks to first time home owners, tax breaks and infrastructure such as roads and schools, Medicaid regulations, urban development, energy costs, heath information technology, support for security and support for people working outside and even things like broadband connections for internet!

There were a lot of promise has been made about how quickly taxpayers money (stimulus package) would be converted to work and save existing jobs by saving America from what was known as the Great Depression. Here is a breakdown of the results of these promises stimulus money can be done in accordance with government's own statistics.

In California, 34.6 billion dollars was awarded, 22 billion had so far resulted in 20.038 job gains. In Washington, has received 8.4 billion, 6.3 billion was made up to now resulted in a 5.258 job gains. In New York, 17 billion dollars was awarded, got 12.7 so far resulted in 10 620 job gains. In Texas, 16.6 billion dollars was awarded, 13.3 billion had so far resulted in 11.800 job gains. In Florida, received 11 billion dollars, 8.3 billion was made up to now resulted in a 9.455 job gains. In Illinois, $ 11.9 billion won, 7.8 billion was given so far resulted in 4.856 jobs.

A year later, because the stimulus package was passed in 2010, the Federal Reserve was disappointed with the economic recovery by describing it as "disappointingly slow." Thus, the Fed decided to produce 600 billion dollars from thin air in order to throw into the financial system to keep interest rates low and making it easier for companies to loan money.

One of the controversial moves by trying to restore the economy, but is more chance of fixing the economy or health care reform is currently known as Obamacare. It has promised to change government run health care system, taxpayers would save money while expanding coverage. When health care reform law was first enacted, the Mayo Clinic who lost $ 840 million in 2009, treating Medicare patients chose not to admit more if Medicare patients to pay cash, so that the new health reform denies seniors the best medical care in the world for cancer .

And that only scratches the surface, there are other things such as over 12 million who rely on Medicare Advantage, which allows them to look for free market health care, without aggravating the gap in coverage. But under the new law set up by President Obama, who was a political move, and not until after the presidential elections with the help of other law to obtain an additional 8.3 billion dollars to the program going. Then cuts to Medicare Advantage fee will apply. As a result, 12 million seniors will eventually be pushed back into the government run program.

Commissioners are in the Medicare program has recently released its report and there are estimated to employer retiree drug plans will fall from 6.8 million in 2010 to just 800000-2016, because the massive amount of new taxes employers would have to pay for new health-care the law!

What does this all mean? At the current consumption, the United States on the way to go bankrupt! When former President George W. Bush left office, the annual deficit amounted to an annual 400 billion dollars a year, but during the tenure of President Obama's spending rose to 1.3 billion years ago.

Rights such as social security and Medicare projected to go broke before it was expected. Baby boomers who helped drive the economy to new highs back in the 90's will be retiring in massive mass in the future, leaving fewer workers to pay taxes, and many more seniors will be collecting from the system, and live longer due to advances in medicine! Tax revenues remain low and the economy struggles to recover. United States credit rating further downgraded. On 6 April 2012, the fourth-largest credit agency (Egan-Jones) abolished the loan with the United States of AA + to AA. because of growing concerns about public debt.

Countries that have been in this position usually do next, or they raise taxes as much as they can, or have received bailout money from other countries, or both, or as a last resort, the government starts printing extra currency to pay the bills. A small country like Greece is let out, not once, but twice. Another time, foreign countries sought to reduce their consumption of Greece or in another way to get money. So, things like cutting state jobs. Huge protests in Greece resulted in people.

Unlike Greece, however, the United States have a much bigger problem with their financial situation. First of all, there are not enough foreign money to go around to bail out the debt in the United States! Which will leave the country with two options, raise taxes on the stunning new highs, very deeply cut programs or print more money to make up the difference. Printing more money on a massive scale to help pay the bills would in turn create hyper-inflation, because it would devalue the dollar so low, the prices of goods and services will go up dramatically, changing the standard of living for all. It is much the worst of recession or depression. It would not be the first time that the country went through hyper-inflation. Other countries such as Mexico, Russia and Argentina have gone through similar situations.

So how can we prevent such a collapse in the economy that would affect people lives so dramatically? The answer is simple, free market! Let's start with one of the most important government program that is Medicare, which hardly contributes to the deficit out of control spending. Here are some of the solutions proposed and implemented to some extent so far ...

Under Obamacare plan adopted, but not fully implemented more than 15 records of people who will decide how much money the government will pay for various health care and which services will be covered and what services would not be covered. If the Council decides to pay less for services than non-Medicare patients, they will see higher costs to such differences or the Mayo Clinic, Medicare patients will be more accepted.

Paul Ryan's plan is the solution of the problem, this plan would create competition with more consumer participation in health care costs for those younger than 55 years through a competitive bid that would create a spending cuts in Medicare spending without the use of hard hats.

Here is what he says ...

"The second cheapest approved plan or fee for service Medicare, which is the cheapest, will establish standards to determine the amount of premium support plan by choosing higher. If you chose the more expensive the higher the scale of the plan the plan, he or she will be responsible for paying the difference between the premium subsidy and monthly premiums. "

"On the other hand, if the senior chose a plan that will cost less than the benchmark, he or she will receive a refund for the difference. Payments to plans would be risk rated and geographical correction. Private health plans will be required to cover the actuarial equivalent of the minimum income packages that Medicare reimbursement for services. "

He estimates that health spending will be reduced by 2.5 billion dollars, while eliminating Obamacare tax hikes. The plan going in the right direction, but it does not solve the entire problem with health care costs because they see people spending their money, and that the insurance company's money. Getting a reduction in health services that will provide the greatest service at the lowest possible price based on you, the consumer, not just the insurance company!

Here is how a consumer driven plan works, and that goes for both Medicare and private insurance. Need an MRI, different hospitals in your area charge anywhere from 2000-3000 U.S. dollars. On MRI experts charge $ 600 and you choose that one instead of the hospital. Your plan consists of the feasible. This reproducible will be reduced to what you have to pay for better choices you made. You can save money and saves the insurer money in this case the taxpayers. The mandate of the deductible is limited to what can be reduced in relation to medical expenses, because to admit that one is filled there is no incentive to save more money for future medical treatment.

With consumer-driven plan, you can add all kinds of incentives that creates competition in the healthcare industry! Another example would be, if you need heart surgery and a hospital costs say, $ 80,000 and another $ 43,000. You can choose from a hospital charges $ 43,000, your deduction is eliminated and no co-pays for medicine or doctors to three months during rehabilitation. Now the dollar figures may vary in your area, but you're getting the idea to the consumer driven plan, not just by choosing an insurance plan? Consumer driven plan is a solution for the demolition of high health care costs while maintaining world class service!

Now the United States from bringing a large recession. As mentioned earlier in this article, President Obama has decided to use the stimulus package, which consists of taxpayers' money to create jobs and maintain existing ones. Statistics from the government are insured and we can see that the policy does not act like you promised. Allegations have been mentioned from the west coast to east coast. The sample consists of six states that are allocated and how much money he received to date. The total amount given to all six countries the respondents was 70.4 billion dollars. Total employment for all six countries was 62 027. A very low score considering how much money was spent. The stimulus plan is nothing to boast, it is not even turning around the economy has created many jobs as advertised.

Here is how it can be turned without the use of stimulus money. Take Apple for example. They have recently announced that their total earnings in the first quarter of this year (2012), which was astonishing $ 39.2 billion! It blew away expectations! How much stimulus money used to have this job in record profit sharing? You guessed it, none! Apple has become the most valuable job in America, despite a weak economy, their business is booming without the help of any stimulus money! So the key here, the free market will eventually turn the economy around. And when the economy turns, the tax revenue goes up, as it also helps pay for programs and the national debt down the road.

And one thing that has not already been mentioned, but did not play a role in deficit spending, and this is a post office that has lost billions of dollars. The government is not allowed to act as a mail company to become a liability, not property. One way to resolve mail delivery is limited to resident mail three days a week and business mail three days a week and those days are spread over the six days. If the job requires more supplies than those provided for 3 days, they will have to pay a user fee. If the mail must be delivered on a day which is not part of the rotation of three days for the people then they must pay a user fee.

So there you have it, a simple but effective way to prevent the U.S. economy from going through a major economic crisis that will affect the standard of living as we know it!

Anti Bullying Rules


YouTube video of NJ father who "wired" their autistic son and taped his teachers and associates of the child abuse of his son was very powerful. Simply put, we never know what kind of environment we are sending our children in. We can only hope that they are caring individuals who are there because they love learning and want to help students. Those who teach students with special needs and autistic children should have special training. After hearing the audio of those NJ TAP teachers and disturbing violence that is not verbal autistic child, I assumed that they were not trained at all. Bullying is something that we as a society are willing to talk and less likely to accept as "boys being boys" or part of a childhood ritual that toughens kids. The problem is that parents of children being abused to remain completely in the dark about how things are resolved at the school when the offending behavior is brought to their attention.

For example, when my son was a new student in Atlanta was desperate to make new friends. As a result, school enrollment and children's honed in on him like a pack of wolves feeding on the mangled lamb. Eager to be part of what is explained as "our gang" Shane led the boys into the bathroom and forced to his knees. What happened next has never left my heart, it tears or scars that will remain forever. "Band" in the regular education children were physically forced to lick toilet and urinal as initiation ritual, of course, was nonexistent. I'm sure you can imagine the humiliation Shane felt compelled to do something only to be compounded with laughter echoing in the bathroom as explained in the joy that such a club exists. So, what happened to these children? As parents of the victims, I do not know. Perpetrators of such a humiliating and degrading acts they have more right to privacy, then my son and I had to feel sure it is addressed. So that is the case with the New Jersey father. He has no idea what these university teachers have received a penalty, except that they are actually still teaching somewhere in the district. His situation is particularly distressing obviously for the main fact that these people are there to teach and protect our children, not harm. I can only imagine how this father feels. I think his heart has a tear like mine. Tears that no apology or firing an individual can be cured.

Each parent passes and accepts must let their children grow and essentially let them. It encourages us to be more or less protective and allow them to spread their wings. But what happens when school officials would not protect them while in school? Bullying is not something new. It's just a hot topic in our society today. It may create some positive changes. But there is something fundamentally wrong with our system, if it is deemed a hate crime to commit a violent act against someone because of their religious beliefs or sexual, but they can leave people with disabilities, and often the defense out of the equation.
