Israel- Palestine (Hamas) Gaza

 

Burst of explosions went off in Gaza recently and now people are starting to wonder if this is a start to a new war.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6WpSuqpPJk < this is a youtube video I found of the news talking about it and the attacks. Gaza would fire on Israel. Targerts were militant groups and many people died. An 11 month old died when he never did anything. In my opinion it is wrong to use violence to solve anything. People should talks and have back ups. Innocent people die when they never deserved to but only did because on their enemies. What could this war between the two mean for the united states?!

Legalization of Marijuana

Marijuana was officially legalized in colorado on November 6, 2012. It is now the 64th amendment with approval 54.83 % of votes. It was defeated in 2006 and is now approved. People, mostly teens, joke that they are going to move to colorado for Cannabis because it's legal and they can just use it freely now but it isn't a joke to me. Whether its alcohol or marijuana it isn't safe either way to drive with it and yes its fair now that they are both starting to become legal but it's still dangerous. You cannot also just walk around freely with it, it's not for pleasure use but for medical use, it helps ease pain, real pain, and not just get you "feeling good". I believe Marijuana should be legal everywhere but not for use of fun and stupidity, but for of age people and people who actually use it to help with pain and ease their way through something like cancer. 

Wal-mart

A bunch of people say how they hate Wal-mart, personally I am not a fan of Wal-mart. I just haven't had good experiences and I never go there because my mom doesn't like it either. I think when you go there it is mostly how you decide to spend your time and money there. "Consumers most often shop with their wallet, not with political precepts"(Karen De Coster and Brad Edmonds, The Case for Wal-mart), this quote says that we just spend what we have in our wallets and then complain that the store itself is too expensive and not cheap at all like in the commercials, but in reality we spend with what we have in our wallets without thinking instead of thinking logically. Wal-mart's employers complain they don't have the money they need to keep their home going but Wal-mart has many workers you can't except a pay that is at the level of a lawyer or business owner when you are worker a job a highschool kid could get. Wal-mart is not one of my favorite stores but I admit that it does have low prices and nice things for the consumer but it's a different story for the employers.
