whats it matter?

legalizing marijuana matters greatly. Sure we could have the benifits of more money and a better economy form taxing and the sale of marijuana. All the money that we are spending and giving to other countries illegal drug dealers could be given to our own economy or even our government. However what you dont see is the money it would take to set up all the necessary parts to processes, grow, sell, and regulate marijuan. Much like alcohol you have to have test that can be administered like a B.A.C. blow test that police have. We also wouldn't realize it now but there are alot of problems that we could have with people being under the influence, such as D.W.I. which is a tragic thing to happen when innocent lives are involved.

I can hear the next argument that an advocate for legalizing Marijuana would say that it is used for medical reasons. As Marijuana has been proven and currently used in states like California to help terminally ill patients with thier pain and other issues. However this would not be legalizing marijuana but it would actually be only letting it be used for patients that have doctors perscriptions. I have been to California and of all the people i know who have a "Marijuana Card" none of them have actuall problems but they make things up and the doctors dont really care and just give them away.

legalize marijuana?

The essay was written by a student in high school talkin about the reasons why America should legalize marijuana. He names reasons like price it takes to keep it illeagal versus the economy benifits that could be had if you could tax it. He also talkes about the medicinal reasons why it would help. this is probably some kid that thinks he would be cool for writing such a essay and his friends will hi-five him for it. Maybe he just likes to smoke. I cannot say i haven't done it but i dont believe that it should be legal.

Milk... It does a body good???

Almost half of all human adults lack the ability to process lactose properly. Darker skinned humans have an even higher rate of lactosintolerancy. Why is it then that the government and milk farmers have tried to force the idea that milk is good for you? In the essay the author tells what milk is and how it is unhealthy for humans. He states that humans lose their ability to process thier mothers milk only a few years into life. Why then do we still drink milk that comes from cows that are injected with steroids and other drugs to help produce more milk? Studies have found traces of pesticides in milk in a test American milk from major cities. So do you drink milk?

It's Funny Looking Back

They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Well im not here to tell you a love story that involves food. Yet just a memmory i hold close to my heart that involves food. If you ever find yourself in the eastern desert of california, there is a small town nestled into resort area that is known as Palm Springs. The town doesn't contain much, some overflowing businesses from the other towns, interstate 10 fwy. In fact there is a small airport in the town for private planes. If you travel to this airport there is a resturant there that is as old as the famous mobsters that used to go there. Only two blocks from The Country Club that was once home to many Celebs, and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (a Charity golf event with pros and celebs.)
The resturant is famous for its pan fried chicken. Having been there for over 50 years they still keep people coming in for their chicken only sundays. I used to eat there with my coworks atleast once a month since i worked at the country club myself it was close by. One coworker was also my best friend. (we will leave the name out) We used to have so much fun going to eat there and laughing at eachother relationship troubles and just all around funny stories. Now that friend live too far away for me to just drive and see. So since i cannot see thier face i keep the memory of those good times i had at Murphs Gaslight.

Flawless Victory!

When looking at the flaws of others it is so easy to point them out. The small so tedious things that people do that really peeve us to wits end. They are small yet so annoying, like the clock that my grandmother had at her house, that would tick back and forth in its glass caseing and when it was night it would drive me insane just clicking every second back and forth. It irks me when my friends are hypocritical and I being the good friend that I am, I am always ready to call them on thier mistake. In most social groups we all have those friends that wont confess to anything they do yet try to call others out on the same things. Theres that friend in your group that is the whipped one, for as long as you knew him he has been in some sort of relationship and the women always wear the pants. Yet he always wants to be the first to call you out if you get caught holding hands or kissing in public saying "you whipped" or "Married". This bothers me especially when you have no room to talk yourself because your girlfiend slaps you around and even tells you when you can and cant hang with your friends.

Or there is that friend that always has something negative to say. If i point out a girl i think is cute (i will save you ladies from the guy language) and he is always saying "she is ugly, she is fat" when in fact i had seen a girl who weighed more than me leaving your house just the other night. (and im 240lbs of solid muscle)...(hey let me live my fantasy).

Worst of all is me. When all my friends talk about a girl that is cute, i always have to disagree because they are all showing her too much attention. "na she aint all that" or "she wears way too much makeup" really i thought she was cute i just dont want to jump on the band wagon. Hating just to hate.

Egotistic, Contrariet, Cheek, Local Essayist

I found that i fall under allot of different essayist style's. I looked over them and realized that i am very much one who takes the role of the Contrariety. I love to play devils advocate and evoke people into arguing their side even if it is thier side that i agree with in the first place. It is probably my Ego that does it because i just want to see if people can really argue thier point of view about things in life. Often i find people feel certain ways and can not really explain why they hold tight to those views.

My ego seems to come out alot in all of my writing. I am confident in all i do and believe that im capable of just about anything i apply myself too. "Yes i do think im great and all that but people tend to get offended when i tell them that so i try not to brag too much". That was me being cheek at my own ego. I do however think that i am really funny and that i am really good at making fun of others and the rediculous things they do sometimes.

My greatest Essayist style however i feel comes from my past experience. I always draw from it even if i do not directly show what it is i draw from. Everyone uses past experience to navigate through current events and choose through tough choices. this is how i develope my ideas and views that are shown in my writings.

One Of My Flaws! (they are few and far)

One of my flaws? Well i spent the last two days thinking about this and well i must say that i cant think of any. sorry... okay well i have flaws i just dont know which ones i want to share with the World Wide Web. I have many flaws, such as my horrible eating habits, or drinking habits. However if i was to share my biggest flaw it is my procrastination. I love to procrastinate. In fact i procrastinate so much i often procrastinate my procrastination. okay but seriously i have a real problem. It is getting better now. I found my way to the library for the first time this year in my three years at ECU.

I bought one of those memmory foam mattress pads for my bed and it has made it all the worse. I find my self thinking about ways to cut any of my daily activities short so i can go lay in bed. The thought of doing homework, studying, or writing just ruins my time when im laying there in my bed. I can not do any homework in my room because i find myself looking at the tv then soon onto my bed to just lay for a few minutes. Soon all hope is lost and im gone into a reality show and the deep covers of my bed.

I am working hard to overcome this but im telling you im addicted to being lazy!
