This is what our world is coming to?

I love how on our televsions these days the only thing that is on is
how Heath Leadger died and how Lynn Spears is giving her baby to her
mother and how Lindsay Lohan is in rehab again.... but did you ever
think that there is more to our world than that... that there is more
going on in our lives. What about the genocide in Darfur that is
happeneing? Did you even know about it? or that it only takes three
dollars to save someones life there? Instead of watching the people
that the youngsters of the USA look up to, the so called "celebs"
throw their life away.... why don't we start wondering about the
people that are having their lives taken from them? Why don't we stop
throwing our money away on alcohol and drugs and try to help people
that have nothing?

The Benefits of Legalizing Prostitution

Because the practice of prostitution occurs regardless of it's
legality, and the CDC spends millions of dollars annually to treat
prostitutes, I feel that we should legalize prostitution. This will
save the country money in numerous ways. If prositution is legal, a
liscense will be necessary to have to be a prostitute. To aquire a
liscense you must have mandatory checks for STDs, greatly reducing the
spread of diseases, and therefore the need for treatment. Seeing as how
the checks for STDs are much less costly then treatments, and this
system has worked well in other countries. I feel that we, the U.S.,
should legalize prostitution.

And here's one on the Freire article we're going over in class on Wednesday: Freire discussion. See what those who've come before thought about the subject...
