legalize marijuana?

Many people think that marijuana should be legalized.They think it should be legalized because they say it's better then alcohol and tobacco.It's better then alcohol because it does not cause that much brain damage.Yes it may cause some memory loss for the time that you are high, but it does not cause long term problems.Also alcohol is more toxic.When you drink you are putting toxins directly into your brain, and when you smoke you don't do that.Another reason why marijuana is better is because it's not as easy to overdose on it as it is on alcohol.Marijuana is better then tobacco for many reasons.One is because it is not as bad for your lungs.Yes smoking anything is bad, but tobacco coats your lungs and give you lung cancer.Marijuana is not that bad.Also many people think it should be legalized is because it can be good for people who need it for medical reasons.


There are man reasons why our government doesn't want the drug legalized.One is because they won't be able to receive any money from it.With weed being illegal they are allowed to arrest anyone who has anything to do with the drug.Then they can put the people up for bail to earn money.One reason why they won't be able to earn money is because it is a natural drug.Also it is used so heavily they would have a hard time regulating it.The government aren't the only people who don't want it legalized though.Many tobacco and alcohol companies don't want it legalized because they fear that it might cut into their sales of their own products.

obama re-elected?

Many people are happy with Obamas doings as President.Some people are not happy though.They say that he has let down our country and is not doing a very good job.The percentage,according to gallup.com, has been very close.Forty five percent of Americans approve with Obama, and forty seven percent disapprove of him.Depending on how many people approve of him when the 2012 elections come around can tell if Obama is going to get re-elected a second term.

There can be many reasons why people don't approve of what Obama is doing right now.Some people don't agree with the health care reform bill.They think it's our choice to decide what health care we want not our governments.Another reason why they may be unhappy with him is because they think that he can change things over night.Yes he did promise that he would try to bring change to our government, but he can not change it over night.It could take a long period of time to change the things that he has promised.

There is many people that approve of him though.When Obama was first elected he promised a lot of changes and yes he has changed some of the things that he promised.Another reason why they may be happy with him is because he is trying very hard to help unemployment in America.Also he is working hard with changes in health care and in education.

election story

On November 4,2010 the House of Representatives shifted power.It is now ran by republicans, and they have the majority of the political elites.Maybe our public opinion has changed.Republicans are conservative.They don't really agree with the democrats that are in the senate because democrats are liberal.Some poeple are in both the Senate and House, and they are moderates, and don't belong with the republicans or democrats.Political socialization plays a role in how we vote.Another thing that plays a role in how we vote is political cleavages.For example Christians may vote a different way then Protestants.All of this though is an example of political ideology.
