Texas Law is Smart

I think that the government should allow LAWFUL handgun permit carrying citizens to carry their firearms everywhere. This shooting could have been ended very quickly by a lawful gun carrier. A gun in the hand of evil is evil, a gun in the hand of good is good. Or in the immortal words of Larry the Cable Guy, "If guns kill people, I can blame misspelled words on my pencil."

God Bless Everyone in Hokie Country.

Foreign Aid Needs To Go

Today, one-forth of America's national debt is traceable to foreign aid, yet we continue to dig deeper into debt to fund "friends", three-quarters of whom usually vote against the U.S. in the U.N. America needs a policy that phases out foreign aid and focuses instead on forgotten Americans here at home. We have millions of homeless here, and tons of other problems, medicare and social security, that we can be fix if we use that money on domestic problems. The time has come for nations to quit presuming upon American benevolence and begin paying the full cost of their own development and defense.

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.
