-
Life and learning are all about choices. Little by little we are literally allowing the government to take over our lives, thus our choices to live as we see fit! We are allowing ourselves to be robbed of the freedom of choice in virtually all areas of our lives. Now McDonalds is being targeted. McDonalds has never been know...
- Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Are high taxes on cigarettes fair?
-
NO! Targeting smokers is not fair at all! I recently quit smoking after 41 years of indulging in that unhealthy,nasty habit. I can tell you that it was not the cost that caused me to quit or I would have quit while I was single-handedly raising 4 children with little help. The guilt I felt for money spent on such a selfish h...
- Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should abortion for underage children require parental consent?
-
As a mother of 4 daughters, I feel very strongly on this issue as I'm sure most mothers do. Little by little the government is taking away our rights as parents and sadly, we are allowing them to do so. As it stands, girls can obtain birth control without parental consent. I agree that they should be able to. Back when I was...
- Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should homosexuals receive all the rights and benefits of marriage?
-
While our country has come a long , long way to ensure that all individuals are treated equally and respectfully, sadly, it still has a long way to go. I do feel that homosexuals should recieve the same rights and benefits as married couples. The main reason why this battle continues as it does is in great measure due to the...
- Celebrations & Holidays > Gift Advice Is giving really better than receiving?
-
If done in the right spirit, giving and receiving are one and the same. This concept becomes clear if you recall as a child how very proud you were to give mom or dad a gift that you made in school. Remember the joy you felt at just the knowing that your gift brought them happiness. All too often, as we grow, the art of givi...
- Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should city and town governments be allowed to display Christmas symbols?
-
Anyone that celebrates Christmas should be allowed to display Christmas symbols and that would include our city and town governments. After all, they do take the day off...do they not? With all the strife in the world, I find it silly to cry and whine about anybody that is celebrating something joyous regardless of religion....
- Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Should a felony conviction automatically prevent someone from obtaining employment?
-
To prevent any felon from obtaining employment would be an injustice to the felon and to our society as well! Think about this for just a moment. Many, many felons are individuals with low self-esteems and misguided upbringings. A good number of them have fallen prey to drugs and alcohol. Many are very young when they acquir...
- Relationships & Family > Elderly Parents & Care Elderly care: Why you should keep your parents out of nursing homes
-
My mother whose health has been declining slowly over the past two years suddenly took an extreme turn for the worse a couple of weeks ago. It was determined by her doctor that she would need round the clock care. He advised us to put her in a nursing home. Upon receiving this advice, a vision instantly popped into my mind. ...
- Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?
-
Anyone that can remember their childhood will recall that we always desperately wanted whatever our parents would not allow us to have. The key here is not to ban television but to lesson the desire. And how does one do that, you ask? Read on. As parents it is our responsibility to show our children healthy lifestyles and to...
- Computers & Technology > Internet Security & Safety (Other) Is MySpace a safe Internet venue for teens?
-
My daughter, who is now 13 has been on MySpace for over a year now. When I first heard about the dangers of MySpace on a news report, I promptly jumped on my computer just to see if my little girl was involved in such a dangerous site. I was, indeed, shocked to find that she not only had set up a profile but she had sev...
