So The government wants to watch our every step and make sure we are all healthy and being the good little girls and boys we should be. Well I say that thats ridiculous not only is that way to much power to be placed in the hands of officials but its just a waste of time and resources. If a person in New York wants to drink his body weight in soda then let that person do that. The business that this man buys his soda from makes money from his purchases and then that money is put back into the system. The government has no place to barge in on this mans beverage consumptions or the business profit. The article talked about cost-benefit analysis but does the government actually use that? In this case its clear that they didn’t the man would become sad by his lake of refreshment while the business owners would be losing money no ones happier then before so this law makes no sense in that light. I think that the government needs to look more closely at the lack of regulations on itself rather then impeding the populace more.
In the political arena most are unfamiliar with female candidates and many feel that there are a different set of ideas guiding there intentions. Many female candidates get asked questions based on family and how they feel that it will effect their job. I think that it is socially believed that women have a greater “obligation” to the family. I think that this bleeds over to political positions as well as many other jobs when it shouldn’t. Women have the capability to perform there jobs and have a family just as well as men do. I think it ridiculous that earlier this year when Chelsea Clinton was announced to be pregnant that Hillary's presidential was put in question because she was becoming a grandmother. A male candidate would have never have been questioned about this. I believe that this is just another place were social norms that are antiquated and ill founded in the first place are still present and this needs to change.
The debate that occurred last night was more a shock and awe theater act then an actual debate with real value. Many of the “highlights” of this act were simply the candidates yelling at each other to try and get the most camera time. One of the quotes from Trump is “ First of all Rand Paul shouldn't be on this stage, he has one percent in the polls.” Most of the quotes from the night are like this and are all based on the candidates attacking each other in unsophisticated ways with no evidence or any backing to their claims. These theatrical debates have no purpose but to entertain a culture that thrives on the idiocy of our potential leader while the rest of the world shakes it heads at our ignorance.
I believe that the biggest issue facing our nation is climate change. I believe this because we are doing very little to reverse the effects of it so far and we can see the changes in weather patterns and draught cycles that are a part of it. Donald Trump states that climate change is a hoax. I believe that this is absurd, when one cannot see the evidence presented to him in the simplest of facts and accept that there is something happening to the environment how can he be expected to lead a whole country. Not only did he not state any facts in opposition of climate change he doesn't even continue his argument he ends it there. One question I have for Donald Trump is how do you believe you can lead this country to greatness when you cant even comprehend the issues’s that it is facing?
