Arizona Immigration Law

I am completely AGAINST this new law. It is BEYOND ridiculous!!! Cops already abuse their powers on a daily basis. Arizona is just giving them another reason to pull over every "suspicious Mexican" they see. Cops see a car full of Mexican's or any group of people other than white, and they pull them over for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!!! This law is only going to make people gang up against other races. Think about the kids at school, is it ok for them to call out a kid on the playground because they suspect them of being "illegal". I HATE the word illegal! It is rude and there is no reason to be making people who come here for a better life feel like dirt. Our country is supposed to be the land of opportunities yet we make people jump through hoops to become "legal". We are all the same so there should be no reason to be so greedy about our country. It's all about money and greed. I understand that we have laws and our economy and taxes blah, blah, blah! I'm pretty sure we can figure out a way to live without being so segregated and blocking out other people from wanting to live here! ( I HOPE I DO NOT OFFEND ANYBODY :D )

Cultural Cancer!

I believe lying is definitely a cultural cancer!  We have all agreed to lie to our children and tell them about Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.  In our society these lies aren’t even considered real lies because we all share a common lie.  The people who don’t tell these lies are sometimes even questioned for NOT telling these lies to their children.  We don’t even question the fact that these are lies, we just go about our lives telling these lies to our children from generation to generation.  I don’t think I will tell these lies to my children.  I want to be the one thanked every year for working hard to buy the presents.

Supreme Court Decision

Corporations have been given the right to use their money to support political parties. I don’t feel like I can fully take a stance on either side because I am not in this situation. I understand the opinions of both sides and why they feel so strongly on this. It is hard to say that a corporation should or shouldn’t have the same rights as an individual person because they have so many people and laws to back them up. Should they have free speech like the rest of us? Should a corporation be able to give money to a political party they favor? They might say they’re helping the individual, but in actuality the voters will be persuaded to follow that corporations “donation.” Should we put a limit on how a corporation decides to spend their money? It’s their money and they deserve the right to do as they please with it.
