I think he deserves some money, because that would be wrong to give him non and he would have to work when everyone else is retired. However, I think they should lower his pension because people can survive on less than 63,000 a year. Also, he committed a crime and he needs some sort of punishment. That crime was also no little thing. He stole thousands of dollars, but he's already paid some back so I think it would only be appropriate to lower his pension a little.

I think the government should have the option for healthy foods, but pizza and french fries aren't really what are making kids fat. Its all of the sugar in soda, people jut don't realize how bad it really is for you. But having healthier options is always a good thing, I think should shouldn't force students to have the healthy food but allow them to have the choice, and just encourage it. Choosing what other people eat for them, I think is just going too far. Kids should have the right to choose what they eat.

If you jump from one job to another, it looks like you ren't loyal to your company. This would not make someone to hire you because they want someone to work for them for a long time. I do agree wit the article it makes perfect sense. Also, a business owner himself said that he feels more confident hiring someone who stuck with their job for a few years. I think this is good advice to stick with the company once you have a job.

I think it is very important to keep the internet uncensored. If the fact that this bill was even proposed causes problems, we can only imagine what other problems it could cause if it was passed. Even though the bill is aimed at targeting piracy of movies and music and such, apparently it will affect much more. With censorship on the internet the way it was stated by Erik Martin from Reddit, "The definitions and language and provisions are extremely broad and extremely vague". Also restricting money exchange overseas could cause other problems because I think that piracy is probably one of the minorities of trade overseas.

I don't think the bill is a good idea and I am against it. I also do think it would cause to many problems and people would lose jobs and the whole thing could escalate out of control. I think the bill should just be repealed or amended so that it doesn't cause all of the problems that it seems it will. Plus we don't want to end up like china or something where everything's censored.

1/13 Gods

There are many term that we use every day that we may use without even thinking about where they word comes from, for example the atlas. Atlas, he is the titan who holds the Earth on his shoulders. The Atlas, is a book of maps that is named after the god, as he is associated with the Earth.  Usually they are called world atlases, but there are also atlases for a specific region. Another reason that would make sense for it to be called an atlas is that The god could see the whole world.

1/11/12 Lamb to the Slaughter

The story starts out in a home, it's clean and there are various drinks and glasses sitting out. A Woman named Mary Maloney is preoccupying herself while waiting for her husband to come home. The man walks in, his wife makes drinks for both of them, and he sits down at the table, and she sits at the other end sewing. After a bit, the man talks to his wife about divorce and she is very surprised. She is in a sort of trance, and she gets a lamb eg to make dinner, when she comes up hes standing there and tells her not to bother making dinner, and she hits him in the back of the head and he hits the floor. The man is dead, and she suddenly comes out of her trance, and thinks of the penalties of murder. After, that, she goes to the store to get the rest of the dinner. she gets peas and potatoes, as well as some cheese cake. Whne she gets home she calls the police. She offers the police dinner and they eat the only evidence against her killing her husband.

I think that the drug screenings should be done, and that if they are found positive for drugs they should be given rehab sessions or something similar instead of stopping their funding. Stopping their funding would not help the case, it would only save them money, and for the people who aren't positive for drugs hsould get some sort of help finding a job or a better job. I think that would solve welfare problems better than the other solution. My way, you would have less people on welfare, because they would have jobs, and there would be less people doing drugs that are on welfare.

I enjoyed my vacation very much. I spent the first six days of it in New York, but it takes so long to get there and back it was more like four days. My sister and I spent christmas day there and we dorve down christmas eve. We had christmas dinner at my cousin's apartment in Manhattan in the East village, or It think thats what it's called. In my opinion, vacation can never be long enough.
