legalization of marijuana
Speaking of taboos, talking about the good side of marijuana is definitely a taboo of our society. I do not go against it but at the same time I feel like there is no way to talk about it without being accused of doing it. I know a lot of people who smoke weed and i have done a lot of research about the topic. In reality, it is a hell of a lot better for you than drinking and the numbers prove it. While there are thousands of people who die from alcohol poisoning each year, there has been 0 overdoses on marijuana EVER. the drug, in my opinion, is a safe alternative to drinking. Kids no matter what are going to want to explore their state of mind and explore into drugs, and personally i think marijuana is a safe way for teens to do that. One thing i hate though is how if anyone posted this blog, they would be called a pothead. Is it possible for people to advocate something without actually doing it? I think so.

bowling for columbine
Yes, bowling for columbine definitely raises some necessary questions but it is just so hard for me to see past Michael Moore and i feel like i really can't trust anything the movie tells me. I realize that most of it is true, but i feel like he is just so manipulative. when he is talking to the head of the NRA, of course he makes him look like a horrible person after he interrogated him and made him look like an asshole. if i was him i would walk away from michael moore too, and moore knew exactly the reaction he would get. he used Kayla more as a manipulation tactic to make the guy look like a monster than bringing up issues.
