I think that prohibition does not work because people are always going to drink or do drugs no matter what anybody tells them. There is always going to be that group or groups that are going to grow marijuana or make there own moonshine to sell to other people in secret. I think that prohibition doesnt work because people are not going to follow the rules. There are alot of people that claim they have to have medical marijuana as a pain killer or for a medicne. Prohibiton dosent work.

I believe that abortion is a good and bad thing. I think that if you dont want a baby than you should be practicing safe sex or just dont do it. In the case of rape or somthing like that i think that having an abortion is ok. I think that if you are not able to take care of the child then i dont think that you should have the baby in the world and make it go through a rough life. i think that it is completely up to the mother. whatever she thinks is best is probablly right.

Building the panama canal was one of americas greatest achievments. I think that building this not only gave them advantages but also gave them the mentallity that they can build anything they put their mind to and if they work hard on somthing then they might actually accomplish it.

I think that during the pergressive era we learned alot about bissiness. I think that we learned that we cant work kids as long as we did. I think that we need to learn how to balance our work hours and our workers so that they dont die working. I think that we learned how to keep our factories clean and safe.

I dont think that this was a good thing. I think that if people think this that we might get ourself into trouble. If people think that we are the top power, they might want to try to get into the top and try to take the united states out of the top. That would lead to another huge war.

I think that they just went into action because they didnt want to go deeper into things because i think that they blew up there own ship so they could have a reason to go to war. I think that not going into what happened kind of puts up a red flag in my head. I wonder why they didnt investagate what happened. Maybe it was because they did it?

I agree. I think that in building the panama canal we gained many things. We were now able to travel to places faster and we could fit our war ships through there so we didnt have to go all the way around south america to get to places if we were ever in a war. I think the building of the panama canal was a huge sucess in american history.

I think that the progressive era was the era that shaped the United states into what it is today. I think that getting people working was the best thing for america. I think that there were many bad things that happened during it but we fixed those things. I think that that shows how america can overcome challenges and move on to bigger and better things.

I disagree. People are the same no matter what color you are. We are all the same and that how we should be treated. I think that racism should end. Everybody has the same capabillites no matter what race you are.

I agree. I think that African americans should have the same rights as the White people. We are all the same. The only thing that is different is the color of our skin. That should not determine how someone is treated or what rights we have.

I agree. Its not only if your a different race either. People make fun of you or treat you differently if you have a deformity or somthing thats not "normal." i think that it should stop but i know that it probablly never will. People are always gong to be racist and thats just how their going to be.

During the war there were piolets from the british army called the "sucicide club." The piolets had 15 hours of training and took on the germans and the Red Baron. The average piolet lasted just 11 days. I think that being a piolet in the war was the dumbist thing. You were basically flying a treewith guns and wings and a steering wheel.

I agree. I think that the movie really put the war into perspective. I agree that the troops were just handed a gun and clothes and they were put out there to fight for somthing that they didnt even know. Many of the troops put out there were teenagers and they had little or no training and they were just put out there to kill.

I think that in winning the war we got a big head. I think that we think that we can take on any country in the world and just destroy them. I dont think that we are going to be able to do that anymore. I think that we are in for a rude awaking.

I dont think that WWI was as bad but it was still pretty bad. I dont think that the U.S. was as big in WWI than they are in Iraq. I think that we were fighting for more in the Iraq war than we were in WWI. I think that WWI was kind of pointless and we should not have joined in that war.

I totally agree. The United States always seems to be in other countries bussiness and that always seems to get us into trouble. I think that we need to keep our nose out of other peoples business and just keep to our own problems. We have enough problems to worry about. We dont need to be in wars and fighting for other countries freedom.

I agree. we think that we can take everyone on. I think that one day some countries are going to show us whos boss and they are going to teach us a lesson for once. I dont think that it is smart to be getting in all of these wars because i think that they are going to come back to bite us in the butt later on.

I think that kids need to work more though out in the work field. I think school is important but you need some work experience before you go to college and get a steady job that pays good. I think that kids working now is a good thing. Working teaches them good habbits and helps them later on in life.

I think that the U.S. could survive without china. I think that if we had all those factories over here we would not be in debt and everyone would have jobs. United States has all these recources that we are not using. China would be lost without us because we get so much stuff from them that we could make here and support our economey instead of theres.

I think that showing people that we have power is a good thing. I think that taking over places and people shows that we have power and if you mess with us you will pay for what you have done. Being imperalistic is good so not to many people mess with us or go to war with us.

I believe that the United States sunk there own ship so they had a reason to go to war with the Spanish. I think that the sinking of the USS MAINE was a very dumb way to go to war with someone. You could have just declared war and went to war with them that way, not by blowing up a ship. I think that going to war with the spanish could have been avoided.

i agree that we need to keep moving forward. If we dont not keep moving forward our economy will go down the drain. I think that we should make drugs leagal so we can pay off our debt. We would not be in debt if drugs we taxed. People need it so they will pay alot for it.

i too am a wealthy business owner and i believe in the use of pinkertons. I think that if my workers are out in front of my business then i need to get them back in to work. The pinkertons helped get them back to work.

i too am a wealthy business owner and i think that the workers wages should depend on how hard they work and how quickly they produce our product. If i have to pay my workers a minimum wage and someone dosent work as hard as the other that dosent make sence. If they dont want to get paid what i am paying them then they can quit. Goodluck trying to find another job that is higher paying.

I agree. I think that if there were no unions there would be alot of workers that would be on strikes and not at work because if the union did not fight for wages or stuff like that the workers would be working for nothing. If there was not a union, the wealthy business owners would have alot of power and the workers would not be able to do anything about it because there would be no unions.

I think that wisconsin state employees should not have collective barganig because they have a job and then get paid a decent amount of money for only working half of a year. I don't think that they should be complaining about their salary or there benifits. I think they have it pretty well made.

I too am a wealthy business owner and i think that having childeren in the factory is good idea because i can pay them alot less than the adult workers and they dont really argue with you. If this law goes into effect then all of the kids will not have a job and therefore they will not have money to pay for there familys needs and other things.

I think that the employees already have alot of rights and laws supporting them. I dont think that teachers need to to complain about there wages or there beinfits becasue they only work half of the year and they make decient money and they have pretty good benifts.

I agree with you, i to am a wealthy business owner and i think that the pinkertons are a good thing. I think that if we did not have them helping us out, we might not have any workers in our factories because they would all still be out protesting because there is no one out there to break it up and get them back to work.

As a wealthy business owner i think that having pinkertons is a good idea. I think that by having them they will help break up the prostests in front of my company and put my workers back to work. If they get a little violent then they do. Thats what they are for. They are there to get the workers back to there spots so they can work.

If you want to keep your job then you should take what we give you and not argue about wages and how long you work. If you dont want to work for us walthy business owners thats perfectly fine with me. I can easily go out and find 50 more people that would love to take your spot. If you need jobs so bad then dont argue with us and do as you are told and take what we give you.

I am a wealthy business owner and i think that having alot of immigrants here is a good thing. That means that there are plenty of people to choose from when someone gets hurt or when someone dies. I think that the more immigrants we have here the better. The more people i can have working at my company, the more product i get produced and the more money i get. Im glad that there are so many immigrants here. I need them to work in my factory.

They came here to work so as long as they are here they are going to work. They wanted work, we will give them work. We are not killers. We are just honest business owners that are trying to make a honest buck. If you have a problem with that then you can leave our company. We have other people that would love to work.

As a wealthy business owner i think that people should be glad that they are going to be working more hours. The more they work the more money they make and they produce more items for me to sell. If they dont like that idea then they can walk.a

I agree, the more they work the more money we get and if they dont like that they can leave. Its not like we are short on people who want to work. People are lining up for the chance to work at my company.

Just think about it this way, the longer you work the more money you will have for your family. I think that my workers should work untill i tell them to stop. If they refuse they are out the door and in comes a fresh set of hands that can work longer.

As a wealthy bussiness owner i think that the minimum wage law should not be. There are plenty of workers that will work for next to nothing. As long as they have a job to get some food for their family they should be happy. I am not in this to be nice, I am in it to make as much money as possible and i intend to. Ill pay my workers what i want.

I dont help people out. Thats not how this bussiness runs. As a wealthy bussiness owner i am going to make as much money as possible and i am not going to give my hard earned money to some immagrint. If the people dont want to work for what i pay then i will find other people to work for me. There are plenty of other people that will work for next to nothing and wont cry about it. At least i am paying them somthing
