Budget cuts in texas

I find it insane how states are having to cut back even more on education funding.

Both houses of the Legislature submitted proposals calling for dramatic cuts in education funding. For example, the Arlington school district expects to lose about $35 million in state funds.Districts statewide face the same crisis.Education is very important it is the key to our future. because of the budget cuts many jobs wiill be lost and Class sizes at all levels will increase dramatically, because of all  the jobs cuts.if teachers and staff members loose there jobs it will only make the class ratios unvbalanced the classes are going to become overcrowded. dont agree with the budget cutts.

TEEN KILLED BY TRAIN

I cant believe that someone just a block away from my house would get hit by a train.She sounded like a bright girl who had alot going for her.incidents like this are very sadning to me to know that someone as young as she was lost her life and never even got to live . She seemed to have lots of good friends and close friends it makes you wonder what she could have been thinking. http://www.pe.com/localnews/stories/PE_News_Local_D_webtrain.b8042f.html

Strikes in Egypt

On Wednesday thousands of workers all across Egypt went on strike causing more tension. There is a lot of public uprisings and rage towards President Hosni Mubarak.  Protesters also gathered at parliament, the Cabinet and the Health Ministry buildings, all a few blocks from the square, and blocked Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq from his office. The protesters come from different ranges of work fields not one specific group. Workers "were motivated to strike when they heard about how many billions the Mubarak family was worth," said Kamal Abbas, a labor leader. "They said: 'How much longer should we be silent?'". Many protesters are demanding that the president step down but there are some who disagree Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in an interview with "PBS News Hour" that there would be chaos if Mubarak stepped down immediately. He warned that if the opposition tried to compose an unconstitutional government, "then maybe the armed forces would feel compelled to intervene in a more drastic manner. Do we want the armed forces to assume the responsibility of stabilizing the nation thru imposing martial law, and army in the streets?” The strikes are just causing more tension in Egypt.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt

Islamic Center 'Ground Zero Mosque' Controversy Heats Up

The mosque controversy near ground zero has become a very heated topic. There are many people who believe that ground zero is sacred land that nothing should be built in that area. There are others who are just against building a mosque there because they believe that is an insult to the families that have lost loved ones do to 9/11 .although the rare a lot of people who oppose it there is also a group of people who believe this would show the religious tolerance and who are in favor of it. As an example president Obama said” Muslims have the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan," but on Saturday said that he would not comment on the "wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there."I believe that the mosque should be built but in a different area. I don’t have a problem with any religion and the practice of any religion but I also think that ground zero is hallow ground and shouldn’t be built on. I don’t think it is an appropriate location for the mosque to be built in

REFLECTION OF CLASS DISSCUSION ON HEALTH CARE

        I enjoyed the class discussion on health care it is a very important topic that should be addressed more frequently. I was able to hear everyone’s opinions about the health care bill and got to see how everyone reacted to it. I am not much of a public speaker I was afraid to interrupt people but I agreed with a lot of people they had some very interesting points. I agreed that health care should be a right not a privilege I believe that everyone should be granted with health care no matter what age, gender, race, or if they have pre existing conditions. I also believe that the unemployed should have health care I think everyone should be able to be covered. If everyone was covered by health care I think that more people would be healthy because they would be able to have more frequent visits to doctors. This is the first time I have ever paid attention to healthcare but because of all the discussions we have been having about this issue has really made me interested in finding out more information think overall the class discussion went well and I was able to gain and learn more from it.
