The U.S. is considering allowing China to import poultry, despite a 2004 ban on products over avian flu fears.
Barack Obama
Obama + Reagan = <3?
President Obama can learn from President Reagan’s successes, but he should concentrate on not repeating his mistakes.
The Things Unsaid: No Drama Obama and the Chinese
Little progress seems to have been made on the countless issues simmering between the United States and China, the world’s two most powerful nations. But, as Hillary Clinton shrewdly noted, it’s not easy getting tough with someone when you owe them so much darn money, so some issues just weren’t spoken of.
Omigawd …?
We don’t have a faith system to call our own. Our beliefs are far-flung and the serious ones are few and far between. But there are some other landmark things that have come of age in the past few years, ourselves included, that we can have faith in.
Ch-ch-ch-changes in the House
The midterm elections have come and gone, and the Republicans have hatched their chicks in glamorous fashion at the expense of Democrats. For the new and emboldened Republican Congress, it’s going to be either their way or forget it.
ABC’s ‘My Generation’ Coming Soon
Our generation has just lived through and grown up in the decade that quite literally changed the world forever. “My Generation,” the first drama filmed in the mockumentary format, is about a group of graduates from the class of 2000 that were followed by a documentary crew as they finished high school. Now, where are they, ten years later? Prepare yourselves. This is a show about us.
Are you frustrated by climate change policy? (Or lack thereof ?)
Millennials have reported, in overwhelming numbers, that climate change is a top issue in their political decision-making process. In a recent Gallup poll, 58 percent of Millennials surveyed said protecting the environment should be given priority “even at the risk of curbing economic growth.” Is it a top issue to you? Are you frustrated by the lack of a cohesive climate change policy?
The War on Drugs is wasting our time, money and lives
The War on Drugs has affected young, non-violent drug offenders especially hard. Because, more often than not, drugs are first introduced to people during adolescence, it only makes sense that young people should have to deal with the legal ramifications of drug use. However, the cycle of penalization for drug deterrence takes a toll on our generation.
Hotboxing the Oval: A look into Presidential drug use
Presidents are people, just like us. Especially the presidents we’ve grown up with. The Millennials are watching, and we see Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton as people who were just stereotypical college kids, doing the same things you can find in any dorm across the country. Plus, Kennedy, Jefferson, Washington and Pierce weren’t stone-cold sober either, and we’re ok with it.
Change is what we want to believe in
We switch from job to job because our college applications told us we needed to be well rounded. Because the restaurant manager said we needed experience just to seat people to their tables. Because our parents told us they wanted better for us than what they had. We like change. We thrive on it, we’re used to it, and we want it.
