Global Warming

Global warming is a highly talked about subject lately with the warm weather recently in the united states. There are many possibility's and opinions to why is has been so warm in the past years. The argument is that people and the releasing of massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and causing this warming. The other side states that it is the climate change that is causing this warming over the past 100 years.

I chose to talk about  if we should save the economy or the environment as of right now. I believe due to all the people out of work and the billions of dollars of debt we are in we should focus on saving the economy. We could help both of them at the same time by drilling in the united states and also creating more jobs switching to wind, water and solar power. If we start building more windmills and give tax write offs to natural energy it will produce jobs as well as helping people save money. If we dig in the United States we can help ourselves get out of debt by selling our natural gasses.

The big worry is the contaminating of the water supply. I believe there are ways to filter the water to make safe for drinking that haven't been exercised yet. If all the other country's found ways to drill for oil and not affect the populations so can we. It is going to be a timely process and we will not figure out if it will work or not unless we try it out for ourselves.

Should we know everything, as Wikileaks believes, or do states have the right to keep secrets?

Wikileaks leak's information to the public to the citizens that most governments don't. I believe that the governments have reasons why most things don't get to the common people for many reasons. Whether they do not have all the information or are afraid the way people may react. Freedom of speech is one of your rights as a human being but there are certain things that should not be published because they offend and or scare people. When that happens people do irrational and irresponsible things they normally would not do.

I believe due to the founders current legal issues the site should be shut down due to his credibility. If he is a criminal then he shouldn't be allowed to leak information that could possibly be untrue. In the United States if you are convicted of a felony your company can be stripped from you and it should be the same for everyone. I believe he is sneaky and is trying to get a rise out of people. Most the information that goes on behind closed doors gets to the public when it is complete and ready to be produced to us.

I also believe people believe what they want to believe, if they are persuaded by things that may not be true then they are weak minded. I believe in the United States government and what they do is for a reason. If the founder is convicted of sexual assault I believe the site will be shut down but it will only be a matter of time until someone starts a new one. The other was is if they stumble across some classified information. Sooner or later they are going to leak something that will endanger and or kill people and they will be shut down. I also believe that if they have the power to gather the information they are getting now what else are they capable of?

So again today my only day off to do my assignment the bunker hill email is down again. this is the second time of three assignment I have not been able to finish my blog. This is very frustrating and should be brought up to the school because it is not fair to student who have to work while they are going to school. I remember from reading the email that the assignment had to do with the war and and how its now coming to an end. I believe one of the questions was if the war was justified. In my opinion i would say no due to how many united states citizens and military personnel who have been killed. Wikipedia has over 2000,000 civilian, military combatant deaths. That is an outrageous number for this war and that number can never be lowered or taken back. I also believe the debt that this war put us so far behind we will never be able to come back from it. Costofwar.com has the current debt at three to four trillion dollars. Now that the two major leaders of the al-quida and the iraqi president Sadaam Hussain are now out of the war it is finally dying down and we can bring our troops home and start living normal lives.

Hello everyone my name is Robert miller i am 27 years old and this is my first online class and first semester at bunker hill. Before i was a student i worked full time doing construction for the past 12 years. when in the field i did everything from painting to pipe fitting. When i graduated high school i joined the U.S. Coast Guard where i served four years on a 270 foot cutter traveling up and down the east coast.The mission of the boat i was on was search and rescue,fishery patrols,and drug interdiction. I traveled up to St John Canada and as far down as the Florida keys stopping at many ports in between. When i joined the military i gave up my favorite hobby which was skateboarding. i was sponsored by a few different companies getting free cloths, shoes and skateboards. I won a few competitions when i was at my prime and hope to soon get back into it now that i am a student and not working 40 plus hours.

In my spare time i enjoy fishing and playing pool. I play on two different teams and 8ball and 9ball in the Medford area and in the Boston area as well. I fish in Boston harbor, as well as the mystic river. in the ocean i fish for stripers and the biggest one i have caught was 33 inches long and 19 lbs.

My goal is to complete college with a degree in biomedical engineering and work out in the medical field. Once i find a job i would like to pursue my education and hopefully get a bachelors degree sometime down the road. This i feel is my best decision getting an education and i am going to try my hardest to succeed.

Welcome to my page i am new to this so bare with me thank you. Bobby
