2/8 Death Penalty

 I do agree with the death penalty. But after reading some interesting facts about it, I'm not so sure. 183 people were on Death Row, but were proved innocent. Some were even minutes away from being executed. Four men were actually executed, that afterward were proved not guilty. This could be avoided. If there isn't absolute evidence, they shouldn't be on Death Row. Only certain crimes should be qualified as terrible enough to be executed for. Another issue might be the money it takes to execute these criminals. Reports show it costs far more to execute someone than to keep them in prison for life. But do some people deserve the life they were given, when all they do is wrtong, and abuse their freedoms?

Healthy Bill.

2/7 bacon milkshake.

Everyone loves bacon. That must be why they came out with the new bacon milkshake. I personally think it sounds disgusting, but scientists actually say that bacon is addictive. Fatty foods these days are addicting. It is a big problem in the world these days. One way to solve this problem, is don't eat so much fast food! its bad for you. It has preservatives, drugs that was injected into the animal, and to top it off we cook it in grease! We also need to stop deep frying EVERYTHING we eat. It might taste good, but look at our society and how unhealthy we are. There are so many diseases caused by just eating unhealthily.

federalist papers.

The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles or essays promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution.

James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers.

They wrote this under the name of "Publius"
Hamilton decided to use the name in honor of a great Roman named Publius Valerius Publicola, who was a founder of the republic.

 Federalist paper 10 is one of the most famous. James Madison wrote it this one. Federalist paper number 10 is continued from number 9. It is titled "The Same Subject Continued: The Utility of the Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection."
   Federalist number 10 is the guard against factions who are going against the right of other. Madison states that a large republic would be better to protect the rights than smaller ones. Scholars use this to interpret and explication of the meaning of the Constitution.

 This federalist paper is also one of the most famous, and was created by James Madison. It is the most cited Federalist. Federalist Paper number 51 takes off from Federalist number 47 and is titled "The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments."

2/6 fifth amendment

Pros: We have the right to keep quiet and not get ourselves in more trouble. The schools can't spy on us just because of suspicion.

Cons: The teacher won't get in as much trouble as she should. The guy might be doing something really illegal on his computer and we won't find out for a long time. It wouldn't be as easy to see if the kid was doing drugs.

   Lincoln County Sheriff Jerry Bowman and County Cleerk Donald Whitten are pleading guilty to charges of voter fraud.

Bowman is pleading guilty to "conspiracy against rights" and Whitten is pleading guilty to lying to an investigator with the Secretary of State's office.

2/1 texting bill

Pros: We will be safer on the roads, knowing that people won't be concerned with their phone. I won't be as tempted to text and drive. There will be less people wrecking. People will pay more attention and drive safer.

Cons: I can't text and drive. There might be an emergency. People will be talking on the phone all the time now, both talking and texting should be illegal, unless you pull over.
