Comment on a colleague’s work

I totally agree with Tim (in his blog Governmental ponderings) on his position of gay marriage and how it has very little effect on others. This topic should not even be a concern in the political world. Another good reason why some people don’t want gay marriage is that people fear change. Most religions believe that a marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman. Trust me when I say, usually people who have religion don’t have that open mindedness of different views. The government should not have any say in who I can and cannot marry. They also fear that if they do allow gay citizens to marry each other that this will result in others turning gay (almost like a domino effect). This is a great example of what happened in the past with segregation. Many whites feared black because they are different than them. If a black person sneezed, coughed, or touched a white person, they assume the worst. Those who disagree with the marriage of gays’, usually don’t approve of their lifestyle. Bigotry. Sadly, those type of people usually have kids and pass on their views to them. The only way to get rid of those perceptions is if they die (of natural causes, of course).....

Poor Polar Bears.....

Global Warming is a very serious topic and should be paid close attention to. NRDC defines Global Warming as “Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Coal-burning power plants are the largest U.S. source of carbon dioxide pollution -- they produce 2.5 billion tons every year. Automobiles, the second largest source, create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 annually.” There are many different results from the temperature becoming a few degrees warmer like glacier becoming nonexistent, stronger weather such as storms, drought, chain reaction of the food chain. What can we do to lessen global warming?

That is where the national government comes in! I think that the national government should intervene on this matter because it is a serious matter where they would make laws against the types of cars, power plants, or people who pollute our earth. Give grants to inventors to make have them make life efficient and try to repair our ozone. The people that oppose this idea are auto makers and power plant people. I totally understand the view of the auto makers because they already have products on the market that need to sale. Unfortunately, they are killing the earth with their stubbornness. It not like they won’t get the money they will lose back three fold by going with cars that run clean. We should take the lead and be an example for other countries. Polar bears will have no glacier to sit on while drinking Coca-Cola, and that is a very sad thought.
