Assault Weapon Ban
Mood:  hungry
Now Playing: Karl Okerlund
Topic: U.S. Congress
I remember about a year ago the Assault Weapon Ban was removed and now Americans can own and use Assault Weapons. Well, I think that is wrong and that the ban should be put back into place but, I also know with a extermly conservative congress right now that will most likely not happen.

What do you think?

Topic: U.S. Congress
In Alaska some people have to go very far to get dental care. A women dental who is a health aide therapist in Alaska was doing things with peoples teeth in the area. Some members of Congress, joined by the American Dental Association said that she was not qualified to do this and she could ruin some of her patients teeth. The reason they go to her is because they do not have 200 dollars to spend to go fly to a dentist office. Theres been a debate on whether or not they should bring dentists to small areas.

Do you think the woman in Alaska should be able to practice dental work there?
and
Do you think they should bring dentist offices into small rural areas?

I was reading a article on Aol news this morning and the title was very interesting.

Bill Adds Therapists to Medicare Coverage
Senator, Craig Thomas is the one who proposed this bill. The bill will help people who are too poor to afford mental care. This bill will also help families that need to go to counseling and marriage counseling. The American Psychiatric Association said its a waste of money because more people will go for counseling and very few will go for things such as Schizophrenia.

Do you think that making adding therapists to Medicaid is a waste of money?

Topic: U.S. Congress
The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted to allow oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I read this in an article on Aol News it was posted at 9:40 p.m. This pisses me off because didnt they promise Alaska that they would always keep that refuge safe? I am really irratated about this because it seems like Bush is oil the country is oil hungry, thanks to Bush we lost alot of oil in the war on Iraq. Well anyways here is my question.....
Do you think that We should beable to get oil from the REFUGE?
