Picture the United States as a place where self-expression was still frowned upon. A free country but you are still not allowed to love who you want to love. A place where same sex couples were discriminated against and had to hide behind closed doors and windows. A place where people are forced to conform and live unhappy unfulfilled lives because they had to marry the opposite gender that they were not attracted to. This is the way America could still be if the Stonewall Riots never happened. Thankfully

The questions I was pondering were: what exactly do these “bath salts” do‚ how is this latest development in drug abuse affecting the brain and how can you treat someone on these dangerous chemicals? I used Google Scholar to research my topic. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Minnesota+Bath+Salts&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C24&as_sdtp=

Should people on public assistance be required to pass drug screenings? Almost all jobs and companies require a drug test before hiring you as an employee. So there is no reason a person requesting public assistance should not be required to pass a drug test as well. I don’t mean random drug testing either. Make it a requirement to receive their benefits. Our country cannot continue to waste money and expect taxpayers to support them. Enough is enough. If we sit back and allow the public health
