Political Article with Paula Elblinger

The upcoming elections in November have several highly controversial topics for debate. One of the most crucial topics as of now is Amendment 68, a law that would require all food producers to label their food as “Genetically modified” before selling to the public. Voting no on 68 would mean that this labeling would not be required, which could cause several controversies for those for the bill.

Under Proposition 105, labeling genetically engineered foods would provide basic information to let Coloradans make more informed buying decisions, offering more choice and control over the transparency of their food purchasing decisions.

Without proper labeling and transparency it is difficult for doctors and pediatricians to determine where food allergies and sensitivities arise.

Because families and individuals are dealing with an increasing level of food allergies and sensitivities, we demand more information about the genetic makeup and source of our food.

On the other site the Proposition 105 would result in higher food prices as farmers, food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers pass their costs to comply with the labeling requirements on to consumers. Such businesses will have increased costs for record-keeping, product verification, and separate product storage and handling processes for genetically engineered products. The labeling requirement may be particularly burdensome for small businesses and farmers' markets, since the measure does not provide for any exemptions based on an operation's size.

Why Banning Guns is Good

Many people think guns are good,but those people are wrong and stupid and evil and babykillers.... So why haven't we banned them yet? Here are some great reasons why banning guns would make all of America's problems simply disappear.

First of all, guns are just evil. Guns kill, like billions of people every year, that's like a million a day. This clearly proves that guns are the most dangerous things on the planet. Imagine all those people living because nothing like guns were around to kill them. They'd all live like, forever.

Secondly, removing guns would stop ALL violence in society.

"If you ban guns, nobody could get them anymore. Simple as that," Says Tadd Evernetty, a Logics professor at some college. This makes sense,obviously because creating a ban would make all guns disappear. Gun-nuts will tell you that criminals will still get them no matter what, but they are just lying to keep their agenda relevant. The government should take note of this, but they're too busy hooking up with the radicals of the NRA to see the evil of their ways.

Another fact is that guns are just scary.

The second amendment was written just for muskets, but that's not what the bad people are using today. Now, more scary, dangerous guns exist. Like the AR-15, an assault gun capable of shooting an entire 30 caliber clip in half a second. It is made even more deadly with several attachments, like a pistol grip that makes it shoot faster, a shoulder thing that goes up(Makes it able to conceal the gun in any type of clothing), and the thing on the barrel that makes the gun invisible when fired. On top of it all, all of the gun is black, and that is because it blends in with the night, the time when most of the gun-nuts come out of hiding. Why does anyone need that thing in their home?

So, if these evil machines are taken off the streets, imagine how much better our world would be, as all bad things would simply stop.
