legalizing marijuana
Ok..ok, I'm sorry for asking so many questions. I do have my own opinions on all the topics I asked about and I am aware of the arguments against my opinions as well. The only reason I asked questions instead of giving my arguments is because I did not want to give my presentation online. I wanted to leave out my my arguments so that I would still have something to present to the class. Also, I did this because my paper is due the night I am presenting, which is the case with a few of us. So I wanted to get some feedback for the paper, and maybe get some opinions that otherwise I might not have come up with. I thought that was the idea behind the presentations, to get the classes opinions and incorporate them into the paper. If I am wrong then I apologize, and I will give my arguments on here. These arguments will then be presented in class, again.

Legalizing Marijuana
Should marijuana be made legal for recreational use?
How about for medicinal purposes in ALL 50 States?
The marijuana plant can be used for clothing and a lot of other goods that are now made out of cotton, and it would be cheaper than cotton. What are your opinions on this?
Marijuana can be made a taxable good.
1) Do you think it is better to have the profits from this plant circulate from drug dealer to drug dealer or circulate through the American cash flow and help the economy?
2)Do you think it is better to have the plant smuggled in from other countries and let those other countries profit from it, or have it grown in America and let the American economy profit?
If we grew marijuana in America, we would not only be creating many new goods but we would also be creating more jobs. We could employ people to work on the marijuana farms much like we do with tobacco and cotton farms. As long as the workers don't start smoking the stuff, this would be very profitable. What are your opinions?
Do you think it is morally right for a drug to be illegal if it can benefit both the people and the economy of America?
Do you think it is morally right to allow people to drink alcohol, which is a major cause of fatal automobile accidents, but not allow them to smoke marijuana, which is a major cause of obesity from all the junk food?

"OUTSOURCING"
Do you know what it means?
Should it be call "US citizens jobs going overseas?
Do you know what the tag on your clothe says?
Do you know where you are calling when you dial the 888 or 800?
Have you or anyone you know been affected by it?
How secured is your job?
"PLEASE, JUST THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE ABOVE AND PROVIDE FEED BACK"

Times Herald Record article
This is from Pat:
This was in the letters to the editor on page 18 of Monday's Times Herald Record. I think it would be interesting to get the classes view on this and why they would argue for or against it. Stop the childishness
Does it really matter that much to apologize to another person or another country even if you believe they are wrong and you are right?
To argue about who is right or wrong, whether it be in a marriage or in foreign relations, will just exasperate the problem. In a marriage, the problem could develop into a divorce, and with countries, it could develop into war. Let's stop being so childish and swallow our pride. Read what the Bible says about pride.
