Drugs

This country needs to kick the addictive substances that is consuming its citizens lives. Many do drugs just to be "anti-establishment" and others do it because them because they're "cool." If the government legalizes all drugs than some of the drug using population will lose the urge to continue using them. Some say if drugs are legal, and anyone has access to heroin and crack, that people on these drugs will interfere with theirs neighbor's naturally endowed right to the pursuit of happiness. This could very possibly happen but, since our country is based on the ideal that everyone is free to pursue happiness in their own way, people who use drugs should have the right to use them and the responsibility to keep to themselves when they do. If someone uses drugs and hurts someone else its off to jail with him, no exceptions, so those who use drugs should be responsible adults and have a friend with them to make sure they stay out of trouble.

Response

I do not entirely agree that the English language is going down the tubes. I do agree that simple word  choice can be far more beautiful when compared to complex diction, but complex diction can have its own beauty to. English is the best descriptive language on the face of the earth because we have so many different words that we can use to describe things. We should not abandon a whole set of words just because they are more advanced, we should allow these words to prosper among the upper class the educated elite in this nation.

Talking about another blog

I am blogging about The Caucus, a politically based blog run by The New York Times. It tracks the movements of the candidates and gives short descriptions of what happened. This blog is basically a newspaper column that anyone can reach without paying the monthly toll to receive a newspaper. It brings news to the public and informs them so that they are not in the dark when they go to vote. The writer of the blog column enriches his blog by linking pictures to visually display what he is saying and imbedding videos when pictures do not do the scene justice. It is quite obvious that The New York Times put a great deal of effort into making this blog look appealing because they new the common man isnt going to be interested by just content, he needs visual stimuli to keep him interested. America needs more of these type of blogs, blogs that have a real reason and aren't created just to boost someones popularity or provide places for people to whine about life.

Cooking #2


        This week I tried my hand at creating a special type of burger. This deceiving plain burger that only displays a patty, ketchup and two buns actually has a whirlwind of flavor hidden under the first layer of beef. Hidden away inside the patty hides and assortment of different condiments, such as tomatoes, lettuces, and onions. These cooked treats are hidden to surprise the unprepared taster, but, they are not easily disguised.
        The first step in creating this delightful treat is dicing you're choice of condiments into small pieces. Once the vegetables are sliced and thoroughly mixed, they are ready to be rolled into the patty. To do this acquire a couple pounds of ground beef and make a few flattened sheets of this beef. The vegetables are then placed in the center of the sheet and the beef folded and shaped so no vegetables are showing. The patty is than grilled until the outside is a savory brown. Cheese, ketchup and mustard can be added to enliven the taste and make it a little more American. Serve with a large Serve with a large American Coca-cola and enjoy.
        This tactic can also be used to play funny jokes on friends and family. Instead of filling the patty with delicious vegetables, it can be filled with something more interesting like mayo or hot sauce. I played this very trick on my sister rolling up two egg yokes into her patty than sealing it and serving with a very American Coca-Cola. Unfortunately I ended up wearing the burger, but the shock on her face was completely worth it. But remember, if you are going to pull this trick, use a plastic Coke bottle to avoid serious injury.

I Want a Husband

        Why do I want a husband?
        I want a husband who brings home the bacon and pays for all of my needs. One who doesn't complain when I take his credit card and use it to go on a shopping spree.  One who does the taxes and use his hard earned money to keep me afloat.
        I want a husband who holds my opinion on everything that goes on inside the house above his own. One who doesn't complain when I order him to lighten my load and do common house hold activities after a long day at work. One who yields to my will when I state that something is not clean enough and needs to be scrubbed again.
        I want a husband who will shape his physical appearance to suit my personal desires and wear jeans that are so tight they hurt. One who massages my back whenever he has physical desires of his own but immediately answers my commands when my body needs sexual attention. One who will be attracted to me no matter how far I let my own physical appearance slip. One who will remain faithful to me even if I start to cheat.
        I want a husband who compliments me at every turn and makes dinner when I don't feel like cooking. One who savors every bite of my cooking, no matter how horrible it is. One who doesn't mind when I decide to make a food that I enjoy but he hates.
        I want a husband who will pay me half of his income whenever I decide I'm ready for a change of husbands. One who will give up custody of the children when we decide to separate. One who submits to my choice on whether or not I should get an abortion.
        Who wouldn't want a husband?
