To the extent that this business activity pulled in spending from persons in other states, the measure would result in a net increase in taxable economic activity in the state” (Brown 15). Our state can not only receive income from selling marijuana, but also can make revenues from other related business activities. Making money from legalizing marijuana might be a way to assist our state to overcome the finical crisis in recent years. Legalization of marijuana can also save the cost on supervising marijuana criminals. Every year our state has to spend a large sum of money on supervising marijuana because it is illegal.
Some people get trigger-happy when it comes to tense situations. Because of this, criminals are killed more often by citizens than by law enforcement (Huntwork). Firearm injuries are the second leading cause of injury (Ruben). There are more gun related fatalities in the United States than in the worlds thirty-six other richest nations.

What is more frightening is 11 percent of all alcohol consumed in the United State is by 12 to 20-year olds; most of the time these people can get a hold of alcohol for free. This amount of underage drinking can cause a person to become more aggressive, which can lead to increased violence, injuries, and death. Sadly, within the United States, more than 4,000 people under the age of 21 die due to underage drinking. Many of which are from motor vehicle crashes and homicides, then with nearly 500 committing suicide on average after consuming alcohol.
In the case, it was mentioned that the $20 million project generated $66 million worth of media value, despite a drop in sales linked to the increasing health consciousness of consumers which also affects Coca-Cola. However, it was Pepsi Refresh Project’s first year, it would be expected to generate the most buzz and excitement. The second year may or may not generate as much media value. Then again, would measuring “media value” this way be meaningful if it does not increase sales, nor market share? Secondly, as the project was launched in the Pepsi cola drink trademark instead as PepsiCo, it remains to be seen what positive externalities the project has brought along – i.e.
It also found that 14 per cent of men and 11 per cent of women drink every day and 6 per cent of men drink more than a week's recommended alcohol intake in one night.

Anthony Murphree Mrs.Hartman Period 6 2/20/13 End Electoral Vote System The Electoral College system is no longer useful in today’s society and needs to be removed from the presidential voting system. When it was first created it was used because the framers did not have anything better to put in its place at the time. The Electoral College does not even do what it was originally intended to do (Encourage candidates to take small states seriously). It is also only used in the most important election, it was removed other elections because it was felt that the system was unfair. The Electoral College system is faulty and needs to be removed from the presidential voting system.
With less space each year for landfills and rubbish tips, the process of disposing of rubbish which is not recycled is increasingly being moved overseas to countries like China. Although this may be seen as creating jobs, it is having a major effect on people’s health and the environment. Beijing’s concentration of PM 2.5 particles – those small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream are dramatically rising. The World Health Organization recommends a safe level of 25 micrograms per cubic metre, earlier this year this level rose to 505 micrograms”.

A tactical decision by Senate majority leader Harry Reid to exclude a ban on assault weapons from gun-control legislation has sparked reaction among politicians and media outlets. The exclusion of the hotly debated measure could improve the likelihood of passing the gun-control package, which includes stronger background checks, harsher punishments for gun trafficking, and funding for school safety enhancements.

"People are deserving of votes on their issues they feel so strongly about." Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) of California did not hide her disappointment in the decision.
