In truth, it was likely rare that a medieval girl would stand up to her father in regards to the suitor that he picked for her. It was likely even rarer that a girl would hit her own father. These are things seen as deeply disrespectful, and in the Middle Ages, respect for elders was important. Why, then, do we see Birdy doing both of these things even though she lives in the Middle Ages? The book is written for modern Americans, and modern Americans would find it in severe distaste to see a girl being blindly obedient to her father even when what he asks of her goes against her own wishes.
Interestingly, Washington never gave his farewell address as a public speech. It first appeared in Philadelphia’s American Daily Advertiser on September 19, 1796. I believe the primary reason for ensuring this written record is that Washington wanted to preserve the speech for posterity. He wanted it to serve as not only a guide but as a warning for future generations. Pursuant with that wish, Washington’s farewell address is read annually in the United States Senate.
4). I am strongly pro this law because I believe people must have health insurance coverage one way or another but if we just talk about it and wait for the ‘perfect’ and agreed-by-all resolution, millions go without coverage and suffer every day, this law might not be perfect but it is here now and hopefully we will iron the kinks out as we go. Roe disappointed over the ruling, fueled up on his thoughts and has since filed and the House passed the Repeal of Obamacare Act on July 11, 2012.

Pam Fessler wrote about “Judge Wont Black Pennsylvania Voter ID Law”, on August 15, 2012. During the broadcast, they conversed that a Judge by the name of Robert Simpson had refused to block the voter ID law going into effect. Many people had believed that the law was going to hurt the poor, minorities, and the elderly who may not have identification. Pennsylvania is a state that will be important for the 2012 Presidential Election, but Simpson believed that the law was fair and reasonable. He thought that the state would not be hurt, if the law were to
I find the comment, “Obama has not debated since 2008, and Romney has more practice,” a poor excuse for our President. Understanding that Obama has not debated in awhile he still had time to practice what he was going to do, and being the President he should know the problems that we are faced with and he should have thrown every opinion he had back in Romney’s face. Obama did little to explain to Americans how things would be better in his second term or how they would be different. He let many of the things Romney said go. He never once challenged Romney.
“I have come to speak with the man of the house” Something we will surely not hear in a move set in the present society. Today no one wants to speak with the man of the house! Women are smarter and better at communicating than men. So much better, that it would be wiser to let women rule in every government, for the sake of a better economy? So believes Hanna Rosin in this provocative article “The end of men” published in 2010 in The Atlantic Magazine.
However, it has been argued in the past that judges are too alike to politicians, as decisions made by the Supreme Court judges have, and will not be mechanical, but in a lot of cases too biased and political. This argument is strongly supported by the outcome of the major Supreme Court case, Roe vs. Wade. This case was a landmark decision which concerned abortion rights for women. Previously, abortion was a very questionable issue and was not allowed in most states. The case had to arguments put forward, one being ‘pro life’ which did not agree with abortion, and supported by the republicans, and the other being ‘pro choice’, which was supported by democrats.
Just think that is taxpayers are paying for 250,000 abortions a year (Conover), people are paying taxes to go towards something that isn’t beneficial to their community, and they aren’t benefiting off of it. On the other hand, there are people that think abortion should be legal because they think that it should be up to the mother to decide if she wants to keep the baby or not. People also want to say that there should be certain cases that abortion should be legal, and it’s the only option. However, abortion is more harmful to the women themselves than having the baby in the long
