Comment on a colleague's work #2
I chose the article written by my classmate Ryan because this is a controversial matter in which the whole country is involved and the way how he spreads his ideas about it, seems to me logical for the wellness of economy and society. The government sooner or later will have to accept the medical benefits of this plant and make it part of treatments in different deceases in which this herb provide positive results. Pros are many as cons but at the end is the people who have the right to choose if they want or not be users of this stimulant as well as todays we can decide (having 21+ years old) in drink alcohol or smoke tobbaco knowing that can be more harmful than marijuana. It is only when the abused of this drug that the problem start to occur, but is not abuse of almost any bad substance a problem? If you see it from the outside, It is like the government try to limit how much tobbaco you will smoke or how many cups of coffe you can drink.The arguments about if it is positive or negative will depend in the popular opinion and the way of how this can be use. In the economical view, the legalization can bring a lot of pros; a recent report made by the Los Angeles Times shows that marijuana legalization (replacing prohibition with a system of taxation and regulation) would save $7.7 billion per year in state and federal expenditures on prohibition enforcement and produce tax revenues of at least $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like most consumer goods. I know this plant is used too for inappropriate intentions but banning those whom give it a bad purpose the benefits are multiples.

Policy Needing changes in Obama's government
After the government of the ex-president George W. Bush, the economic status and all the issues concerning the state went from acceptable to awful. The reconstruction after the economic fall will take an enormous effort for the president Barack Obama and his cabinet. Many are the policies that needs a reform but in particular some of them need an especial attention to the succes and development of the country.
Health care is one of the most important domestic issues, reimbursement of health care costs have to be debated and lately have a reform to establish a universal health care system in the United States that will helps in costs, acces and quality. The election Reform have to be solve too; legislation, court desisions, constitutional amendment and others needs a change about the federal election system and the way of how this work because is the cornerstone of our political democarcy. Another problem in the actual system is the substantially increase of poverty in the U.S. society, "close to 13 percent of the total U.S. population—about 37 million people—were counted as living below the poverty line" this was a poll made by the New York Times. the government should create a better and real social services for the people living in debt and help them with educational grants or loans with minimun interes.
The space improvement is something that needs support, the government should significantly increase its exploration and/or its development of space beyond Earth’s mesosphere. Many benefits can come from the reaserch make in this field, even from the perpetuation of our especie to the develop of new technologies. And the last policy that needs a reform but no the only ones is the immigration, the United States federal government should substantially decrease its restriction of immigration to the United States and debate different laws for the benefits of the immigrants and for our own country. Much more are the issues that needs to be change or fix and we know this kind of change needs time and hard work but nothing is impossible and the Obamas's idealism push towards to the change. I hope in a few years I can see back in the time and be a witness of the country improve.
Comment on a colleague’s work #1
The laws in the United States concerning the protection and care of domestic and wild animals are not enough, I agree with Ms. Trujillo in that matter completely. "The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is committed to protecting all animals—from the mouse in a laboratory to elephants in South Africa—through a variety of means. We rescue animals, lobby for laws, investigatecruelties, educate the public, and so much more" those are the words used by the HSUS. but if that is true, how is possible that Every day millions of animals are born into lives of unspeakable suffering. Every day millions more suffer terrible deaths and what is worst, a big part of this is cruelty rest in the hands of the scientific researchers using animals for testing, do not having any kind of mercy in the the pain caused to them. Its true that out there are many institutions trying to change this like ASPCA, S. 1834/H.R. 3907—Pet Safety and Protection Act: Sale of Dogs and Cats to Research Institutions, this is an act they are working on to make it possible in the congress. If the Pet Safety and Protection Act is passed, the Animal Welfare Act would be amended so that the only people who would be allowed to sell dogs and cats to research facilities would be:
1. Dealers who have bred and raised the animals.2. Publicly owned pounds or shelters that obtained the animals from their legal owners.3. A person donating a dog or cat whom they have bred and raised, or owned for at least one year.this do not will change the system but step by step and with the help of the community, the laws can be more strict to stop the cruelty of the animal. Ms. Trujillo choose a good article and in my opinion this is an issue that needs our attention.
