My Little Buddy wants to say that the FDA has been negligent in monitoring and regulating the ingredients used in cosmetics and personal care products. Just like food cosmetics go into your body and should be regulated under the same strict guidelines. The toxins in makeup and other products have proved to be detrimental to the health of its consumers and something needs to be done to protect the public. The public needs to be educated not only about what they are putting in their bodies but also on the disregard that the FDA has had for their safety. If these things are done then maybe changes will occur and the cosmetic industry will be forced to provide safe, nontoxic products.
I am going to help my little Buddy express his stance on this issue by supporting his argument in different ways. First I am going to review the lax guidelines that the FDA must follow in regard to the cosmetic industry. Next I am going to outline the different toxins found in the cosmetics. Then I will give examples of the diseases these toxins have caused and the different people they can affect. Lastly I will say what can be done to help make this situation better.

Letter to Future Child
Dear Child of Mine,
I am writing you this letter in hopes that I can help you understand the pivotal moment that our country experienced during the presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain. The nation was in utter chaos and sinking deeper into the wreckage under Bushes ignorant control. Health care, the economy, education, foreign policy and any other important issue you can think of was a complete disaster.
I wish I could let you feel the anxiety that I felt while we waited to find out who the next president would be. Just the thoughts of McCain as president made me want to pack my things and move to Canada. Luckily that was not necessary and hopefully it will b e much better world for you to be brought up in.
Luckily for you and every other child our country had enough brains to elect a president that will hopefully be able to evoke some extreme changes. Unlike your dear mother you might actually be able to get help with paying for your college. Obama plans to create a plan that will allow you to do community service in exchange for college money.
I am hoping that you will be able to realize the important role that you can play in the future of your country and how crucial it is for you to become aware of what is going on and form your own set of beliefs opinions and values based on what you truly believe not what people tell you to believe. I hope this election will make you realize your vote really does count and when you vote in your first election you should feel extremely proud.

What Does Obama Bring?
Posted in: What's Shakin'?, Government/Politics, OpinioNation, 2008 Presidential Election on October 31st, 2008 by Dan Kenitz
Happy Halloween! It’s my job to scare you today. And what could be scarier than the prospect of an Obama presidency?
Elections are coming up, and people who are voting for Barack Obama need to think about what he’ll actually bring. Not that people who plan on voting for Barack Obama can be trusted to do any independent thinking, but hey, I’m blogging here.
What would an Obama presidency bring?
He’s already given “first act” status to signing the Freedom of Choice act. (link)
Here’s how Wikipedia describes the act:
The Freedom of Choice Act (H.R. 3719/S. 2020) is a bill in the United States Congress which, if enacted, would abolish all restrictions and limitations on the right of women in the United States to have an abortion, whether at the State or Federal level.
What does that tell you about Barack Obama - that his supposed first act will be to support the liberal notion that murdering your own children is actually about “personal choice”?
Not only is he 100% in support of the liberal sacred cow of killing unborn children, he thinks it’s so important he wants to make it his first act. If he’s not the most liberal candidate ever (and he might be anyway), he’s up there.
How about taxes and government spending? Take it away, Thomas Sowell.
Politicians telling businesses how to operate? That’s been tried in countries around the world, especially during the second half of the 20th century. It has failed so often and so badly that even socialist and communist governments were freeing up their markets by the end of the century.
The economies of China and India began their take-off into high rates of growth when they got rid of precisely the kinds of policies that Obama is advocating for the United States under the magic mantra of “change.”
Putting restrictions on international trade in order to save jobs at home? That was tried here with the Hawley-Smoot tariff during the Great Depression.
Unemployment was 9 percent when that tariff was passed to save jobs, but unemployment went up instead of down, and reached 25 percent before the decade was over.
Higher taxes to “spread the wealth around,” as Obama puts it? The idea of redistributing wealth has turned into the reality of redistributing poverty, in countries where wealth has fled and the production of new wealth has been stifled by a lack of incentives.
Obama also wants to slow down American business under the pretext of saving it. Oh, he claims to be for the middle class, but he wants to take money away from the people who employ the middle class - the upper class.
How about foreign policy? After all, we do live in a world in which crazy, non-life-valuing terrorists want to get nuclear bombs.
Economic disasters, however, may pale by comparison with the catastrophe of Iran with nuclear weapons. Glib rhetoric about Iran being “a small country,” as Obama called it, will be a bitter irony for Americans who will have to live in the shadow of a nuclear threat that cannot be deterred, as that of the Soviet Union could be, by the threat of a nuclear counter-attack.
Suicidal fanatics cannot be deterred. If they are willing to die and we are not, then we are at their mercy — and they have no mercy. Moreover, once they get nuclear weapons, that is a situation which cannot be reversed, either in this generation or in generations to come.
Is this the legacy we wish to leave our children and grandchildren, by voting on the basis of style and symbolism, rather than substance?
If Barack Obama thinks that such a catastrophe can be avoided by sitting down and talking with the leaders of Iran, then he is repeating a fallacy that helped bring on World War II.
In a nuclear age, one country does not have to send troops to occupy another country in order to conquer it. A country is conquered if another country can dictate who rules it, as the Mongols once did with Russia, and as Osama bin Laden tried to do when he threatened retaliation against places in the United States that voted for George W. Bush. But he didn’t have nuclear weapons to back up that threat — yet.
America has never been a conquered country, so it may be very hard for most Americans even to conceive what that can mean. After France was conquered in 1940, it was reduced to turning over some of its own innocent citizens to the Nazis to kill, just because those citizens were Jewish.
Do you think our leaders wouldn’t do that? Not even if the alternative was to see New York and Los Angeles go up in mushroom clouds? If I were Jewish, I wouldn’t bet my life on that.
What the Middle East fanatics want is not just our resources or even our lives, but our humiliation first, in whatever sadistic ways they can think of. Their lust for humiliation has already been repeatedly demonstrated in their videotaped beheadings that find such an eager market in the Middle East.
None of this can be prevented by glib talk, but only by character, courage and decisive actions — none of which Barack Obama has ever demonstrated.
Scared yet?
In the words of Yoda…
You should be.
First of all this article gives an extremely bias and inaccurate portrayal of Barack Obama and his beliefs. To say that Obama “supports the sacred cow killing of unborn children” is absolutely ridiculous this author needs to learn to get past an issue that was decided over 30 yrs ago and not by Barack Obama. This article also talks about liberal views as is they were some terrible sin when being “liberal” actually means you care about reform and progress. Since when are either of these things bad especially in a country that is worse off than it has been in a long time because of a “conservative” president.
The article bashes Obama’s tax plan saying he is going to raise the taxes for the middle and poor classes. When in reality Barack Obama plans to give tax relief to the lower and Middle classes. He also plans to cut taxes for small businesses in order to create more jobs and restore fiscal responsibility to our country.
The article does a fabulous job of trashing Barack’s ideas such as foreign policy, the war in Iraq, and the economy yet he fails to actually inform the readers what Obama’s position actually is. My hope is that when people go to the polls to vote they ignore ignorant articles like this one and do a substantial amount of research for themselves. I think it is extremely important to think about the issues that are important to you and figure out which candidate aligns with your beliefs the best. Then make a vote based on this not the random and inaccurate article.

None of my first experiances in pullman were what I would call enjojable persay but at the very least I guess they were educational. The incident that sticks out the most was the first home football game. Of course being the school spirited girl that I am I got all couged out in the crimson and gray, met up with my girls and headed to the game. As I was standing in line wating to get in chatting with my friends and minding my own buisness Mr. Frat boy decided to get the projectile vommits right in my general direction drenching me in a puddle of acrid beer vomit. Sick!!!!. This is where I decided to end my faboulous day so that I wouldnt have to spend an entire football game smelling like crap. Luckily life since then has looked up a bit and its college i guess its like a right of passage to get covered in puke.
Research Outline

1. How alcohol affects a developing brain

3. amount of alcohol girls are able to handle vs. boys
4. alcoholism after college

My Chosen Citation Method
I have decided that my citation method for the semester is going to be MLA. Previously in my writing career I was never required to use any particular format, as long as we listed our sources we were fine. So my reason for choosing MLA are that it seems widley used, and if I get stuck the teacher or Rachel Sanchez will be able to help me out. MLA also appears to require the least amount of work and since I can be farely lazy when it comes to writing the less work the better.
MLA is a citation style that is often used in the liberal arts along with, journalists, acedemic writers and many others. MLA helps you give acountability for your sources and gives you credibility in the writing world. Your work will be taken more seriously and you will be less likely accused of plagerism. The general guidlines for MLA aare simple: 12pt. font, double spacing, and one inch margins. The process for the header of your paper is also simple: your name, teacher's name, class section and date. MLA will prove usefull in my future writing because of its wide spread use and growing popularity. To me MLA seems like the most obvious and practical citation style out there.
