BLog Eight

I chose to review "What I Think" by Jason H., I agree with what Jason says in his blog about the bailout for the motor companies. I do not however think he did a very good job of getting his point across. If you are trying to sway an audience you need to do the research so that you have facts to back up your claims. I have written a "rant" blog myself before so I have to cut him some slack. The motor companies need to try to settle without being bailed out, but Jason we must continue to buy American no matter how inferior you may feel they are. We have enough of our money leaving the country. I am afraid if the companies are bailed out, they will just repeat the past and in a few years we will be back here again. Let them start by closing some of the many, many, many dealerships. Work together and combine forces to save themselves, no more corporate jets, no more million dollar bonus. Jason hit it on the head when he said they got themselves into this let them get out on their own.

Our U.S. Government is complicated in many ways. Although necessary to a degree I feel that many issues should not be controlled by our government. Abortion is a personal choice there are many different circumstances that may cause some one to make that decision and in my opinion it not the governments business what those reasons are. Second, I was reading a fellow class mates blog about the governments say in gay marriage, again a personal decision and not the place of the government to say yea or ney. I guess my biggest pet peeve about our government is the war. I agreed with it in the beginning because of 911, but enough is enough. Our economy is falling apart we are in a recession yet we continue to pour money into a war that not seem to be doing much more than killing our soldiers. I could see it if we were still under constant threat and maybe we are, the only information we have is what the media is allowed to report which I bet is not near the entire story. As I said before I agree we need some type of government system but I do not agree with the system being involved in what I consider private, personal issues. Bring the troops home and lets start recovering together.
