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.

Hackers From "Anonymous" Arrested
In today's world we deal with hackers. A hacker is in a word: a troll. Its hard to figure out there motives for why exactly they hack websites. A group of hackers by the name of Anonymous, which is very ironic, have been attacking government and business sites. Hacking is a serious ordeal and must be put to a stop. Many members of the group have been arrested, which has only increased the amount hacking in retaliation. The group is shadowy and in a way crazy. They seem to want the public to know everything about the world and what is going on in the government. Some of what they say is true and other things they say is not true. The FBI is working to crack down on this cybernetic tyranny but it only seems to worsen. If anyone has information on this anonymous group it should be reported. Hacking is sick, cruel and unfair. Part of the problem is a controversial on freedom of speech. But there is an extent in which it can be taken to far like this group has done. We can only hope they are taken down immediately.

Political Wars: Session 400 A New Win
Finally. Corporations are getting there
tax break cut. President Obama has made a large impact on the economy for his
new act of cutting Corporation tax rates. In a country that is racked with a
growing poor division and closing on an economic crisis, this maybe the first
turn around since Obama was elected many years ago. The Republican controlled
Congress has been over looked and now perhaps there can be a turn around in the
economic state of the United States.
Okay the Star Wars political joke aside, this is a major break through. It is good that corporations are having there tax breaks cut. When you look at it, the individual worker is taxed more than the corporations themselves. Which is a number of things: unfair, not beneficial, counter productive. If the individual worker is taxed higher than the corporation then he soon losses his home, his car, etc. Therefore in turn loosing his or her job. Wouldn't it make more sense to tax the corporations higher because they are making much more money than the individual worker? Really why tax workers who can't afford the tax? Corporations in comparison make a lot more money than there base workers therefore should be taxed accordingly. This does two things:
1. Helps to keep the economy in balance and the workers employed
2. Helps to heal the deficit the United States is in.
This also leads into another topic of discussion, the tax code. Obama and his allies are currently working on a new tax code to benefit the US greater than the old one does currently. The outcome is unknown but the results may actually be beneficial to the country.

Political Clowns
Mitt Romney. The Next President? I Think Not. 
Currently the United States is looking for the next president in the election of 2012. Currently representing the democratic party is President Barack Obama, running election. Obama has very good qualities as a president, his ideas are one that benefit the poor class and would help to close the gap between the rich and the poor. The only problem is that congress makes every effort to stop any good idea he has. It has been a struggle for him but I'm confident that Obama, if reelected, would be able to bring up the political 2 by 4 and have congress finally work together.
The Republican party does not have a candidate to run against Obama. One of the candidates in particular Mitt Romney should just throw in the towel before he even leaves the locker rooms. He has talked about repeatedly: "restoring America back to its greatness". I'm sorry sir but how are you going planning to do that? By walking around and shaking everyone's hand and giving them motivational speeches? Honestly during one of his stops a man came to him explaining how he lost his job, and said he would vote for Romney in hopes of getting his job back. Romney's response: "Thank You". Really Romney? Your not going to talk to the man? Ask him about his job and why/how he lost it? Who is going to vote for a president who doesn't seem to give a rats butt about the average voters problems?
To spare Mitt Romney the humiliation he should just quite now, I don't even see how he made it into the world of politics if he doesn't even seem to care about voters. If by some horrific disaster he becomes president, well USA, your just screwed.

Another Day Another Country Another Blood Bath
Violence in Syria
There has been continuing violence in Syria do to disagreements
between the government and the people of Syria. The President of Syria has been
asked to step down from power but refuses, therefore violence increases. Many
innocents have been caught in the cross fire during this fight. The fighting
has been escalated because Syria’s President has closed the United States Embassy,
which has served as a line in which neither the government nor the rebels cross.
President Obama thinks that we do not need to use military action to secure
Syria, and that negotiations are possible. The whole situation is a growing
mess that won’t end well for either side. If all else fails the United States
will have to interfere and then it will just turn into one bloody mess.
Many countries like Syria are at unstable moments in
which many people want to convert from their current government to a Republic
or a Democracy. What was wished to be peaceful and smooth transitions have all
resulted in war violence and deepening economic debt. The question is what
remains to be done? Let the World fend for itself? Or help it as we always
have? Though pulling out would be economically better for us, in time the world
would deteriorate and society would worsen.
Stopping violence around the world is crucial but how can
it be done when people like in Syria deny our peace talks and make it worse?
