The Four

The four topics that interest me.

#1 The war In Iraq- I think the war in Iraq can go both ways, i agree we should take our troops out of the Middle East because they are getting killed and they have been there for more than 7 years but if we take our soilders out of Iraq, we might lose our security and we may risk having more terrorist attacks to the U.S. From our troops being in Iraq, we have been spending alot of money on the U.S. armed forces but our troops have been finding dangerous weapons and we have captured terriorst leaders. For example, Saddam Hussein.

#2 Lowering the drinking age- I hear alot of 18 year olds saying that the law should be 18 for the drinking age again, but i disagree. I think the age of 21 should remain because drinking at the age lower than 21, can effect brain development and their would be more teenage deaths, from irresponsible drunk driving.

#3 Don't legalize Marijuana- People are always saying that the government should legalize weed. Marijuana is a gate way drug to more harmful substances like Crystal Method and Crack Cocaine. If marijuana was legal, then jobs and school would have a lower attendance.

#4 Raise Minimum wage- Minimum wage should be raised because people are lossing their homes because its harder to pay bills, its harder to support family, and people are overworking them selves to get little money.
