Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites.In other words It preserves our right to communicate freely online.  Internet that enables and protects free speech. It means that Internet service providers should provide us with open networks. Services should not block or discriminate against any applications or content for those networks.FCC states “The Internet is too important to allow broadband providers to make the rules.” In other words, the Government will tell you what you need and how you will get it.More Government control is not a good thing no matter what the short term gain is. The consumer would lose if corporations could decide for us what we could and could not access on the internet. Net Neutrality protects the consumer. People do not need corporations deciding what I can read or hear about. They already do that with mainstream news publications and television broadcasts. The internet should remain what it was to begin with: a place for the fair exchange of ideas and information, unburdened by corporate censorship. Net Neutrality is crucial for small business owners and entrepreneurs, who rely on the open Internet to launch their businesses, create a market, advertise their products and services, and distribute products to customers. We need the Internet to discover job growth, competition and innovation.Net Neutrality lowers the barriers of for entrepreneurs, start-up and small businesses by ensuring to reach new customers and showcase their goods, applications and services.

Keeps a list of all the conversations you’ve had, all of your interests, and all of the places you've been. It has pictures of your best friend’s, your prom, and your vacation to the places you've been. Does this sound familiar? If you have a cellphone, you have all these things and more with you every day, but most likely don’t want people to see them without your permission.Your information is legally protected from unwanted snooping. But what if police suspect your phone holds evidence connecting you to a crime? Should police be able search your cellphone without a warrant? Police officers can’t just come into your home and start searching through your belongings without a warrant, but that same protection does not extend to your cell phone, apparently. “Police hadn't obtained a warrant (permission granted by a judge) or Riley’s permission before searching his phone,they had violated his Fourth Amendment right to privacy.”(Patricia Smith) Police who apprehend someone for even the smallest of crimes believe they are entitled to search the phone that was in the suspects pocket.Hoping that the phone will contain information that may lead to larger charges.“-You always have the right to say no.” (Patricia Smith).America is known as the Land of the Free, if so then police shouldn't be able to search without a warrant.Even in cases where it could save lives or bring justice to criminals. “If you say yes to a search, you’re giving up your Fourth Amendment rights.”(Patricia Smith).

12 people were killed in a mass attack in Paris, France on January 7, 2015.  Speculations have been made that the two gunmen who were responsible were part of the Al Qaeda terrorist group.  I know the US Military will be all over this.  I mean, we found Osama Bin Laden in the middle of nowhere and disposed of him.  Hey France! You hear me? Thanks for the statue of Liberty.  We’ll be right over to get those guys.  Big brother’s got your back

Recently, there was a barricade of people on I-93 in MA.  They were protesting for the activist group, Black Lives Matter.  They took over one of the largest highways in the State of MA, not allowing traffic to pass by; commuters and emergency vehicles alike.  Not only was this incredibly stupid, for prohibiting people from being able to get a hospital, but they received so much flack for the incident.  There was nothing bad publicity from this stunt and it basically tarnished the name for the activist group.  This situation was a lose-lose all around.  I think that if you want to make a statement, think it through and definitely don’t endanger the lives of those around you!

The Electoral College was created for two main reasons. The first reason was to have a buffer between population and the selection of the President. The second part to why it was created was to have a structure in the government that would give extra power to the smaller states. With this the founding fathers believed these two reasons would have good compromises between the states and would help avoid manipulation. The Electoral College is fair because it gives smaller states the same credibility and recognition with their votes compared to larger states who are viewed at more because of their popularity and size. One example could be during President Obama’s re-election, the electoral college gave the smaller states more recognition and a reason for him to visit them for presidential campaign visits.

The movie “Head of State” starring Chris Rock as Washington D.C. Councilman Mays Gilliam, a good guy with a real bad streak of luck. Throughout the movie satire is used to express the trivial nature of political parties.The National Party asks him to run for president  against vice-president Brian Lewis unexpectedly. Mays turns the race around by asking real serious questions and addressing problems that no other candidate will. Chris Rock's sense of humor is hilarious and is like no other. He doesn't let anything go, he makes fun of the Politicians, African-Americans, and Caucasians. Not only is he outspoken but he brings others to attention by constantly saying, “Let me hear ya say that ain't right.” Mays is a telling everyone exactly what they want to hear. With his satirical actions and debates, Mays Gilliam is elected President; winning his votes through his humor, exaggerations, and political addressings.
