  • Tattoos: Should Teens the age of 16 and older get tattoos with parents permission?
    As the owner of a local tattoo parlor in Dexter, I have had several parents come in wanting their teens to recieve tattoos by professional Artists. Because the State of Maine has a No one under the age 18 shall receive tattoos policy. I see alot of Teens going to people's homes to have tattoos done. Not only are these home environments unclean and unsterile, these teens are getting infectious diseases such as; Mercer, Hepatitis, and even HIV. Tattoos are the "IN Thing" for teens this day and age. Lets change the law to "Teens 16 yrs. of age and older may recieve a tattoo by a professional, licensed parlor, so as long as their parents consent and sign to it." Let's keep our teens from getting un-necessary diseases that could affect their future health.

  • Capitalism is a moral system
    Since capitalism is the only successful mechanism for creating wealth and raising people out of poverty, laissez faire capitalism should be adopted as the economic model for the United States of America.

  • NO Smart Meters!
    This new technology has documented safety and privacy rights issues and had NOT been proven 100% safe. They could also be easily hacked. Besides, by definition this is a wire tapping device and should be illegal...and to force it on customers is a bold, arrogant assumption that we will knowingly consent to such a disrespectful "business decision" on the part of electric company. The $20 "meter reading fee" is nothing but extortion for our safety, security and privacy.

  • Dreamers united
    Our kids are killing each other and all they have are these rappers giving them false hope telling them they can sell drugs and that's all they see and believe the only way they can make. The programs that are in effect are just all fun and games nothing started while they are young to let them know how important education is for them and teachers are giving up on the students and once they reach 18 its already to late and they are in survival mode instead on school mode. I want to start programs that can and will motivate the kids while they are young and continue to strive and let them know drugs, guns, girls, and violence is not the only way to make it or be cool/ successful out here. I am open to any ideas and I need help because I won't stop trying to help these kids change their path.

  • Help save the Morgan horse breed!
    The American Morgan Horse Association since 1948 has required two registered Morgan horse parents to produce a registered Morgan foal, or baby. Court cases indicate illegal breeding has been going on. We want to require the AMHA to DNA-test all new foals (babies) back to the date that the registry books were closed in 1948, and to register all from this point forth, properly, into a half or pure registry.

  • Tent City Humanitarian Crisis Lakewood NJ
    2/5/13 Asbury Press "NJ: Last week, legal notices were posted announcing that, starting today, authorities would come in and disassemble the camp if the tents had not already been taken down. Eighty people would have been completely homeless. Last year, Superior Court Judge Joseph Foster refused to allow Lakewood to shut down the camp, stating that the residents could not be moved without an alternative place to live. Officials contend that Tent City leaders have not abided by their part of the bargain to forbid more people from moving in. But neither has the county. It hasn’t offered any alternatives, including entering into a partnership with other parties, public or private, to build a county homeless shelter. Before bulldozing Tent City, both the county and the township need to come up with alternatives for those who find themselves, literally, out in the cold. Some of these residents have substance abuse problems and/or mental illness, and have been reluctant to leave Tent City. But many have fallen on bad luck and hard times. All of them need some help. Long-term homelessness may be a tough nut to crack, but what is becoming increasingly clear is that Lakewood simply lacks the will to keep its citizens safe — in Tent City and in the township’s thousands of dilapidated rental houses. And Ocean County lacks the desire to use anything more than an iron fist to deal with the homeless in its midst. A judge properly ruled that alternative housing must be provided before Tent City can be razed. That has yet to happen. Authorities must, as a matter of basic decency, provide a shelter or some alternative before sending in the bulldozers.

  • Veterans Deserve To Have Veteran's Day Off
    Currently only those who work in government or banking positions get the day off. Most veterans who want to take the day off must use paid time off. As a veteran who honorably served my country for eight years, I feel it's time we get to take the day off, without using vacation time to do so.
