Commentary on Government

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/aug/19/we-cant-afford-this-government/

I think our Government is over looking so many more issues in what we are spending our money towards. I feel that there are so many things that President Obama might be thinking he is doing right in helping a department but hurting others much much more with those decisions. I think that if we focused more on helping to get the economy back on the right track, later we could focus on other things rather than trying to fix little things now and breaking our economy even more later. There are a few things that now may seem the best way to deal with our economy and issues our country is having but if we go at these small issues now instead of the bigger issues the bigger issues will take over and there will be nothing left. I am not sure how on earth we could do this, these are simply my thoughts on what I have read, heard and seen. I think that our government is thinking over the big picture & we definitely need to get a better look at the bigger issues we have going on right now.

Cyberbullying Influencing Suicide

  "It is really hard to hold someone responsible for another person’s suicide." As said by Laurie L. Levenson, a professor of law and the David W. Burcham Chair in Ethical Advocacy at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. is a professor of law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. In her commentary over cyber bullying and suicide.  I believe that you can be held responsible for someones suicide because when someone is going through any sort of stress or hard time with anything...if you are the one to say or do something towards what they're already doubting themselves about. You can be the main cause for what sets them off. In the commentary that the professor Laurie L. Levenson she is commenting over the invasion of privacy charge from some college students. I feel that if Tyler Clementi's roommate had not gone as far as posting his private encounter online Tyler would still be around today. 
   I feel like Internet is a big big big step in technology and very very useful in everyday life. I think there should be some sort of law against using the Internet to hurt or in any way bully someone. If there was less bullying online there would be more lives saved. Many students experience bullying in and around school, but the more harmful could be cyber bullying, you never know who is saying what & what the facts really are. Many people read what they see and believe it, go along with it and carry it on. The more people get into these things the more the person being talked about tries to escape and suicide seems to be the easiest escape.
  I do think the people who make that move to embarrass, harass, and or bully someone online or in person should be held responsible for that move the person chooses to make afterwards, as in most cases it's suicide. I think that this bullying is just any other form of pointing someone with a gun...why do something that you know will hurt someone? Why go so far as to invade their privacy, invade their personal life and go PUBLIC with it...I believe they should be  held 100 percent responsible.
