"The message politicians should now understand is that the NRA is very much alive and well, and we will fight any gun control on the national and international stage." That the politicians should know that people against gun bans are alive and well...and will challenge the law.

"Never in our nation`s history have we had an incoming President and Vice President more supportive of strong gun laws. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence strongly endorsed the Obama-Biden ticket, and for good reason."--Brady Campaign. The new president and vice president said that "we are the ones we`ve been waiting for," anti-gun groups must have thought he was talking to them. The fact that President Obama and Vice-President Biden appose firearms.

The differences between McCain and Obama is worlds apart. McCain Signed a "friend of the court" which urged the Supreme Court to rule in favor of the Second Amendment and against D.C.'s handgun ban. While Obama refused to sign the Heller brief, and is supporting the reinstition of the Clinton gun and magazine ban.

gun laws and lobbying

http://www.gunlawsuits.org/
The 7-2 ruling in United States v. Hayes was a blow to gun lobby groups that had urged the Court to severely narrow the federal Lautenberg Amendment that bars gun possession by abusers convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence. So that when a person is convicted of a misdemeanor of domestic violence they will find it harder to purchase a firearm, in turn possibly keeping the world a Little safer.

On June 26, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller.
Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess handguns for use in self-defense in a person’s home. However, he stressed that this right “is not unlimited.” For people like felons and the mentaly unstable will be unable to purchase a firearm.

topics
Torture
The use of torture is both good and bad. People need to see that it is a useful tool but it can also be a unnecessary handicap. I think this topic would be good because i would find it enjoyable but also eye opening. If i remember correctly in Iraq or another middle eastern country the interrogation used on the captured Taliban leaders was infective at releasing information.
Gun laws and lobbying
Gun laws intrest me beacuse I deal with guns and would like to know more about the process of laws and what makes them work.
Prison reform
The prison system is slowly failing because of over crouding and the lack of law enforcment. I think it would be interesting beacuse i like that kind of stuff and would find it greatly informative.
Cloning
The process of cloning can make people freak a little bit beacuse of the process of having someone exactly like you walking around. i think that if a person had a genetic copy of him stored(not a copy of him but like his DNA in a folder) so if he gets into a wreak and loses an arm they can clone the arm from his genetic records and replace his arm. I dont mean make a living clone of him and chop off its arm.

illegal organ sales
Nancy Schrper-Hughes has spent over 10 years pursuing the black market sales of human organs. The organs being sold are harvested in the slums of lower third class communities around the world. The money paid by the person in need of the organ is high, the person who sold the organ gets little of the money. The broker keeps most of the money.
The places you can get the organs is growing, from Nicaragua to Nigeria from Russia to the Philippines. You can get the organs transplanted by the leading surgeons in the world such as in New York, Los Angeles, and other cites in the United States. Two surgeons in Philadelphia are named repeatedly to have transplanted brokered organs.
I think that people should be able to sell their organs for profit but as long as it is controlled by some neutral party. The party should regulate how and when the organ is harvested and how much is paid. The need for transplants are growing dramatically. The average wait list for a new kidney in the U.S. is guessed to be 10 years in 2010. Most people on dialysis patients die in 5 years. So the fact that the black market is flourishing isn't surprising, the desperate don't play by the rules.

A new era.
President Obama's inaugural address said this is a "a new era of responsibility", and "difficult times" is a show and proving of character. The new era of responsibility is saying that we as a nation need to show more restraint in purchasing things and saving for the future.
Locally we need to help the economy and the rest of the things we need not just the stuff we want. National it shows that we need to become more responsible and have more restraint. Personally i need to save more and to help myself more, such as not spending my money on things but on things i need for the future, such as saving for college. The difficult times is saying watch were you step and in the difficult times things maybe lost. When things go bad, see who is still standing by your side.
The Difficult times are now on us. we must be a nation of one. United we stand, divided we fall. The defining of character will be sharpened and honed during the times of difficulty. We will learn to watch what we do, how we do it and when we do it. We will go back to enjoying the simple things in life when the times are over, such as family friends and the outdoors, instead of sitting in front of the television when mom calls for dinner or going in to a different room to watch and eat something else.

The "real" world.
The comparison of school and the real world not being one and the same. With plagiarism in school is the same as stealing a pair of shoes as said by Douglas Soccio. When you have a job and you take someones ideas and pass it off as your own it will most likely get you fired. "I have come to the conclusion that it's a mistake to make sharp distensions between school and so-called real life."(said by Douglas Soccio) When in school you learn to show up everyday and perform at your best and do it to a certain expectation no matter what is going on in you home life.
The graduation from school is a chance to have people evaluate how well they have been prepared for the life after school. the things they have learned such as what rules are and how they govern what you do, and what kind of friends do you want in life. do you want a friend that tells you you look nice when they are actually laughing at you because you look ridiculous.
"When we don't think of school as real life, we nurture a fragmented world view that makes it easier to tolerate mediocrity and dishonesty in the pursuit of grades and honors. when we don't think of school as real life, we trivialize disrespect for expertise and necessary order, cheating on tests cutting classes, rudeness, and all sorts of undesirable practices that do not remain confined to the classroom."said by Douglas Soccio.

Hamlet
Is Hamlet incapable of action? when he is confronted with a problem he doesn't do anything, for instance when his father the king dies the kings brother takes the throne from hamlet because he is away for college. Hamlet doesn't try to take the throne back until he plans to kill his uncle. In the book he acts like he is in the grip of insanity when around others but is he really insane or just acting. When he returns home he finds his father dead, his uncle now king, and his right to rule gone. So he plots his revenge against his mother and uncle, because his mother is now his uncles wife. One night while walking among the battlements of the castle he encounters his fathers ghost and it tells hamlet that he must kill the king/Hamlets uncle. In the end Hamlet ends up dead.
