1-30-12 violette's pension

I don't think that he should get to keep his money because he stole thousands from the turnpike industry and used for personal vacations for himself. Violette miss used public funds and so should be punished for that by having no pension. I personally think that all of his pension money should go to paying back what he stole from the turnpike authority.

1-26-12 More healthy food

I think it is the governments obligation to tell children what they should eat because school lunches are currently rather unhealthy and with this bill it would help improve this. I think that if children are not making healthy choices, then somebody should be obligated to make the children make healthier choices.

1-24-12 Job hopping

I do agree with the article that job hopping will hurt your career because it makes you seem like you are disloyal to your previous company and also employers think that job hoppers didn't gather the needed skills from there last job because they were there for a short time. Both of these will hurt you when applying for a job.

1-20-12 Hijack piracy bill

I think that it is important to keep parts of the internet uncensored because it would stifle the flow of information and force people to all flock to a limited number of sites. Although I think that some parts of the internet should be censored such as the pirated music and movies that draw money away from the companies that make them. Over all my view is that some sites such as youtube and wikipedia should not be censored, while other like pirated movie sites should.

1-18-11 Piracy bill

I think that the bill that it is a good idea in theory, but it would destroy most of the internet sites that people use daily. So because of this I think that the bill is not a good idea because it would limit the ability for people to post things on the internet because of fear of getting sued over copyright infringement. Also I think that it is a bad idea because it would destroy sites that are not supporting piracy, but just using what content they have to make money. Overall I think that this bill is good in theory, but will have a negative effect on internet sites like youtube and wikipedia.

Some other facts about The Odyssey that it was written around the 8th century BCE in Ionia, it was set in the Bronze age, the story was original a poem and it was written over the course of four books. 

1-5-12 Georgia Drug Tests

I think that it is not a good idea because it is a waste of state funding and will not save that much money because it will cost money to administer the drug test adding and add an extra cost to the state. The closing quote of this article best illustrates my view. The quote is, "From a financial standpoint, HB 668 appears to lead nowhere but directly to an increased state deficit." 

1-3-12 Vacation time

I went to the Netherlands for the holiday break. My family and I left on December 23 and got to Amsterdam the 24 Th.. We spent three days there and when to the Van Gogh museum and Anne Frank's House. We then meet up with my Mom's cousin who had married a Dutch man and were living in Rotterdam. We then spent five days at their house. Over the course of those five days we went on a boat tour of the harbor, ate croquettes which are a cylindrical breaded meat dish that it filled with a rue sauce and meat. Other things we did were play board games with my mom's cousins kids and bike around the city. To celebrate the new year we the whole of Rotterdam set off a ton of fireworks for around an hour. We then flew back on the first of January and reach Maine around 8 pm. I really did enjoy my vacation in the Netherlands, but I thought that it was to short.
