Should imports of foreign cars or other foreign products be limited or restricted by law

Oh course they should be. With as many people as we have on this planet, resources are in way too short of supply for things such as imported cars. These are simple economic concepts for a nation that was to be a power house in today's market. I didn't even know if this was up for debate. I am not 100% but I believe that one of the core reasons for America becoming America was its belief of no taxation without representation. Although not quite the same as regulating foreign good, but this idea is very close.

 

Does the American system of justice need reform to ensure that criminals are properly punished?

Yes it sure does. There is just too many cases where someone got off for killing someone because of human error, say because this guy forgot that and another guy didn’t sign the correct dotted line. This current method of law has it moment were it truly stands for justice, but then again it all comes crashing down with you get a case like I read about the other day in the paper, were this woman got off with 5 years of probation after she was drunk and crash her car into another car killing that woman and her baby. Situations like that shouldn’t have to happen.

I also think that for capital crimes there should be a labor camp, Pres. Obama wants to redo the nation’s infrastructure but building new highways and projects of that nature. I also know that California is letting some of its convicts go early because of budget cuts. It seems to me that if these criminals need to serve their time, and we need new highways, we might be able to come together and kill two birds with one stone. I know that this would take away from jobs for law abiding citizens but a new transportation system, or at least a new highway system could really open up the lanes of interstate commerce. Maybe, who knows, we could learn a thing or two from the Japanese and get ourselves some bullet trains. 

FYI these are not criminals*that I know of* I just saw this picture and thought it looked than sitting in a jail cell and on the tax payers dollar!!

Are American Indians being treated fairly in the 1990s?

This question doesn’t really make sense to me. What does the 1990’s have to do with much after hundreds of years of disservice to one group of people?  The Native American community has had and still has its struggles. I am a Native American person who grew up in the 90’s, granted I was a young child, and yes I was treated fairly, for the most part,  but I can’t say for fact that was the case for all native children.  I think to answer tonight’s blog’s question, the natives have not been treated fairly period.

Why some people choose not to carry a cell phone

There is no reason not to carry a cell phone in today's world, none. Well I shouldn't be so narrow sighted but in all actuality, minus the few decent acceptations, cell phones are pretty much need today. Maybe its because I am totally glued to my phone and have been since I first got one that I can't see what I would do with out one. I would say that the longest I have gone without a phone is been about a week and that wasn't bad at all. 

The effects of racial, sexual, or religious discrimination

Who can’t feel some sort of effect from the said types of discrimination? Discrimination has been an ongoing battle since the dawn of man time. I am just happy that we live in a somewhat modern world. I use the terms happy and modern very loosely when I speak of this matter. There is some truth to those terms as well. Here in America there is a way to life, or rather a way to live so that you are not discriminating against anyone. Everyone has that right to live a peaceful existence. However for the sake of this blog, the effects of racial, sexual, or religious discrimination  are too many to write about in 75 words.

Should mandatory (or voluntary) prayer be permitted in public schools?

Questions about prayer and religion are tricky questions to answer. I think that if church and state are to be separate, the act of mandatory or voluntary prayer should not be permitted. There could much be debate about this, but the “law of the land” sort of speak, is that there is a separation of church and state so we should follow that.
This does not mean that at a privately funded school, that school could make their own choices about prayer. This means that if a Private Catholic wants to mandate prayer for its students that they should in fact be allowed to make this choice.
