I really liked this article.  It was one of the few articles that I have enjoyed.  It was so good because it is something that I can relate to.  It was a  very informative article.  I learned about how to avoid being embarrassed in public by having your conversation overheard and how to not be hurt by cell phones.  I will actually try to do some of these things.  It is really cool that someone has devoted this much time into trying to educate people about the harmful acts of cell phones.  I will try to not sleep with my cell phone and not carry it in my poacket because it is harmful.  Neither will I blame other people for dropped calls.  That is also bad because a lot of the time, it is actually your fault.  That would be sad if you blamed someone for hanging up on you when it was your fault.  It is actually amazing that such little things can cause a lot of damage in the long run.  It makes sense that if you are in an area that has bad coverage, you are more succeptable because the cell fun is working harder.  I like this article a lot.  I learned a lot about proper cell phone etiquette.  I didn’t even know that there was such a thing before reading this artcile.  Cool!

3.  If people are not interested in using the internet and think that it is a waste of their time, the government should definantly give them internet anyway.  I say this becuase our world is becoming basically dependent on the internet.  If people have something, then they are more likely to give it a shot.  Plus many people say that they are not interested in using something just to cover up the fact that they can’t afford it.  I just think that we should not give it to them now, because we are in a great economic depression and we can’t really afford it today.

6.  The fact that people are not willing to adopt to using the internet is an issue.  The government should fix this.  The world and our economy is becoming dependent on computers and the internet.  People can now buy stocks, pay bills, even apply for a job online.  If you don’t know how to use the internet, then you are falling back.  People don’t want to hire you if you don’t know how to do this stuff.  The government should definantly do something about this so that our economy does not suffer even more than it already does. 

Reflection:

People are complaining about the cost of internet access.  I understand that it does cost a lot of money, but it is vital that people use the internet.  You almost have to these days if you want to be successful.  If you are worried about not having enough money to pay for internet access and for T.V, you should choose the internet, because you can watch T.V. on the internet.  You can do almost anything on the internet.  It is required that you know how to use it for almost all jobs.  Unless your goal is to be stuck working for McDonald’s your entire life, you need to be able to use computers.  Actually, you couldn’t even do that well considering the whole time you are using one when you are taking orders.  You definantly couldn’t be a manager of a McDonald’s, because you have to pay people on the computer and stuff like that.  You have to be able to use the internet because everything is on the internet.  Someone needs to fix this because it is vital.

Back during the Civil War, many men were confused about what was more important in life.  They could not decide if it was more important to go away and fight in the army or worry about caring for their families.  Many men left their homes and joined the military.  I personally believe that this is needed.  We have to have people to support our country and to fight for our beliefs.  But it is also very important that a young boy has a dad to teach him to become a man.  I know personally how hard life is when your dad is not around. It really makes it hard for a boy to grow.  I don’t know if it is the same for girls, but for guys, it is a necessity to have a dad to make you a better man.  He is there for you in your times of need and he is there for you if you have any questions about life.  My dad has gone to Iraq to fight many times.  He is out of town a lot too.  It is really hard for my family to live our normal lives when he is not around.  These families in the Civil War were without fathers for a long time.  Many of them died.  This was extremely difficult on the families.  But then again, it is absolutely imperative that we have those brave men and women out on the battle field protecting not only their families from harm, but also saving the lives of many Americans.  So I believe that it is okay for people to go away at war and leave their families to a certain point, but they must keep in mind how important they are to their families back home.  Without a dad, a young man is weak, undisciplined, and lacks the qualities of a good man.

1.  There are many things that a state could do that could be considered depriving someone of their liberty.  Many people also believe that this happens all the time.  That is why there are so many cases in court for this.  For example, the state could say that a certain job is illegal.  Just like in this article, it was illegal in Oklahoma for people to float horse’s teeth.  Why would someone make a law like that.  I can understand why it is illegal for people to sell their bodies for money and stuff, but this is outragious.

5.  Should you have to have a license to do work like teeth floating?  NO!!!  People should be able to pay each other for whatever they want.  It is there money and it is their personal life.  Who does the government think that they are trying to take away people’s freedom?  If I want someone to come to my house and work on my horse’s teeth, then I should be able to do that.  Notice that I said my horse.  I did not, however, say the government’s horse.  It is mine and if I want my horse to have good teeth, then I should be able to have that happen.

Reflection:

I personally believe that this article should never have had to be written.  Not that it was a bad article, but the topic is stupid.  I am not trying to degrade the author, but I just believe that there should not be and issue with people not being able to float a horse’s teeth.  Why should that be illegal?  That is just the same as making it illegal for dentist’s to do their jobs.  The only difference is that the horse’s are animals and people are not.  But honestly, why is it such a big deal for people to be able to pay people to do whatever it is that they want?  Why should I not be able to hire someone to come and fix my horse’s teeth?  It’s my money, my horse, and it should be my decision.  There is also no need for the teeth floater to have to have a license to do his job.  It is just unbelievable how loosely the constitution is being interpreted.  Our government is trying to hard to have control of people.  People just need to calm down a little bit and let things go back to the way that they were back when America had just gained their independence.  Back then, you could do almost anything that you wanted for money, because we feared becoming like England.  Where did that mentallity go?

4.  The American govenment usually turns to the police to hadle public problems.  They are in charge of handling public issues.  If America wasn’t lacking ancient guilds, this may not have been true.  France is not lacking Ancient Guilds, so the have different ways of solving public issues.  Their public issues are solved by different sets of people.  France has certain people that take care of wild animals and others that take care of public law violations in general.  In America, the Police handle everything that has to do with public issues.  If America had the same issue with public animals, we would probably have the police take care of them.  It may have been different if we would have a little bit more history.

5. The French government is not able to tell the lieutenatnts de louveterie what to do.  Now why is this?  I personally believe that this is because the lieutenants de loiuveterie were formed thousands of years ago.  They were originally organized to protect civilians from the many wolves that were invading France.  The members have continuosly taken oaths to not kill domestic animals and to stick to dangerous animals.  They don’t want to change the way that things have always been.  If the U.S. government decided to hire contractors, they would be able to tell them what to do, because America does not have as much history as France.  People would not be upset about having to change things, becuase they would have never been around anyway.

Reflection:

It is absolutely crazy the their is an issue with too many cows and pigs freely roaming the cities near and in France.  I can’t believe that the members of the lieutenants de louveterie are not wanting to get control of this issue.  Their job is to protect civilians from dangerous animals.  They are not trying to control these because they are “domestic”.  They argue that they are only following their oath.  The oath states that they can only kill invasive species.  They problem is that that oath has not changed since around 800 A.D.  That was over one thousand years ago.  Do you not think that circumstances have changed since then?  These members should be open to change, becuase civilians are being injured.  These pigs and cows are causing people to crash into them.  One time, a bull fell off of a cliff and into a bar.  How absurd is that.  Something must be done.  How can these people who are in charge of keeping civilians safe just sit there and let these happen?  Not just that, but they refuse to do anything.  It’s not like they are unaware of the issue, but they don’t want to help.  These people need to get their priorities straight.
