Earth Quake In Mexico

      A couple of days ago an Earth quake erupted in the lower parts of Mexico a little south bound of Mexico City. The Quake gave many residents of the resort towns a scare as well as the people from Mexico City who could feel the rumbling all the way from hit zone. The quake was about a 7.4 in magnitude and damaged over 500 homes near the epicenter of the earthquake. Up to today there have only been 11 injuries reported, which is very surprising considering the damage done during the quake. It has not yet been determined if any people were killed, the last quake that happened in 1985 killed over 10,000. The good outcome is that this isn't a major blow on the country's economic system.

President Obama Does Not Influence Gas Prices

       As many know in America the gas prices are double what they were 10 years ago and are currently still growing higher almost reaching $4.00 a gallon. Many people say that President Barack Obama is to blame for the trending prices but when going into a deeper observation in the matter he is not. Gas prices continue to rise mainly because of: Consumer demands, automobile production, and the political strife in the oil producing countries. The growing conflict in the world demands more oil to be used, since oil is also not a renewable resource the demand gets higher as the refineries begin to run dry. No they are not dry at the moment, experts say we have about over 40 more years of oil. But it is still a cause of higher price.
      Currently the president has been working toward alternative forms of energy such as electric, wind power, solar power, etc. We are currently in the age where we have to push forward towards those practices so that they can get off the drawing board and into efficient use and production. A theory is that perhaps oil companies are raising there prices because Obama is striving towards other forms of energy, but that is an unfair accusation. The people need to realize that though prices are higher than they have ever been, they did not just jump to where they are, they grew slowly  over time to become what they are today.

Abortion: Many Questions? Yes. Do Men Care? Doubtful.

      Today we who live in the United States live in a society where people make stupid choices. More to the point we live in a society where people make stupid choices, and then don't do anything to fix it, or take any responsibility for their actions. Young adults in today's society are all about the new fad that's sweeping the nation. Its a great and totally enjoyable fundamental activity called: Sex. Now anyone who has had a health class knows what sex is. So many teens and young adults are doing it has become one of the most popular ideas ever!
     Okay for those who may not know, that was a joke above. Sex is a popular thing yes, but the problem is the people who have sex do not take responsibility for their actions. The greatest offender is men. A lot of men (not all but a lot ) don't seem to care if their partner is pregnant or wants an abortion. They don't seem to care if  it was their fault in the first place. Men do need to speak up, especially with the main problem in his entry: Abortion.
     Abortion is a process in which you kill your child at birth! In my personal opinion it does not matter when you can't support the child or not. You don't just kill an innocent living human being?! Give it up for adoption for petes sake! More to the point why did you have sex in the first place if you knew something like pregnancy may happen? But whats done is done, and those who have sex and have children as a result of it need to take responsibility for the child. Especially men. They don't seem to care these days, like thats not their child (which genetically it is!) Guy's do need to stand up for their child and take responsibility for that child.
     Obviously there are 2 ways to avoid this:
1. Don't have sex until your married.
2. If you can't control your disgusting primal instincts use birth control (true its not 100% guaranteed but it does help reduce the odds of pregnancy).
On a side note if we stopped offering abortion as an option then I think we would save our country a lot of money as well. True we may loose a few jobs but really what doctor wants to be responsible for taking a human life like that?
    In conclusion men need to speak up in these times and fight against abortion and take responsibility for their action. Its a double fronted attack, a man and woman need to fight against do what is humanly right.
