Day Two...

Something's that is illegal, but you think it should be legal



I don't always agree with the way our government handles things, but the law is the law. We have a lot of freedoms in this country that many people in other countries would literally die for. I think Americans struggle to be thankful for the freedoms they do have. All anyone ever wants to focus on is how the government is limiting their lives. People on the other side of the world would be more than thankful for education, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to fair trial, no cruel or unusual punishment, etc. These are things we rant and rave over every day because they aren't "fair enough." We all need to be more thankful.

The only thing I think I would debate our government on is the fact that they banned God from schools. I don't really struggle with that at my school because we are allowed to have the Prayer Circle, but in other places just mentioning God's holy name is enough to get you suspended. This is leading to huge problems, not only in our schools systems, but in our country as a whole. The Founding Fathers of this country put God as the foundation of it. We are getting so far away from that these days because we don't want to "offend" anyone. I just hope that our country realizes that our freedoms, successes, dreams, and abilities were given to us by God. We all should be thankful for that.
