Should the federal government be able to force people to buy health insurance?
NO! Absouloutely not, that is an absoloutel horrenous idea. If we don't even get into the economic standpoint of this; it would be an incredibly stupid idea. The Federal government forcing people to get healthcare, and penalizing them when they do not do it is close to tyranny. Next they would be telling us how much to sell the food in the suprermarker for. It seems like a slippery slope of "helping the people" to communism (which we all know is not a good system).
Should the federal government tell states what drugs are illegal?
I feel that the Federal government should be able to tell what is legal drug wise. The FDA know what it is doing, and if drugs become legal; than things will go downhill very fast. And example of this is in Switzerland, the government made a legal drug zone. This was dramatic fail; and made an extreme amount of addicts, and the government now has to pay for them to get rehabilitated.

In my oppinion, I feel that the Constituition is still alive. I say this because the constituition has amendments to it, and if th Courts, or Legislative Branches wanted to; it could still be amended again. http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html

Proposition Eight Blog
1. The Judiciary Branch should be able to overturn a populary elected decision. I say this because the Judiciary branch is there to interpret the laws and make sure they are constitituional and are not affecting our rights that americans have to come to enjoy. If they cannot overturn a majority than they cannot truly protect our rights.
2. The judiciary may have been overrulling the will of the people, but I feel that it was doing the people a favor and they have yet to realize it. The constitutional ground for overrulling the will of the people is that if this is allowed, than the public schools will start telling how gay marriage is ok, and that it will start to affect the heterosexual part of society and that is not allowed by the Constitution. But it is allowed for heterosexual marriages because that is the way society is to be healthy as the decision said. A similar exampe of this is proposition 22, which made only hetero marriages legal in California, but the courts struck it down as unconstitutional.
3. I think that there should be a universal description of marriage for to clarify this for US citizens. But I don't think we should do that, just for to clarify. If it is written down, it would be like the Roman Twevlve Tablets; it could not be changed. As long as it is not written down, the definition can be twisted either way to suit whoever is using it. One instance where the government ha to make a universal law for all people is the instance in which the United States government made the child labor laws.

How the Government affects me throughout my day
I wake up in the morning and I go shower and clean up for a school day. The water that I get comes from the Department of Public Works. They control water use, and sewage and regulage them all (1). I than brush my teeth and groom; the toothpaste I use is checked by the FDA (2). After I do that, I get dressed and start driving to school. During the Fifteen minute drive there, the roads are managed by the DOT (department of transportation), who also make laws to punish drunk driving and everything else to help keep us safe (3). I stay at school for about 7 hours, and during that time the Department of Education controls what the schools should teach us (4). During school I use my tablet, and it requires energy. the Department of energy provides clean energy for my computer to use (5). Right after school I go change and I lift weights. The Department of Health and Human Servies says that I should get at least an hour of exerise each day to help keep my body active (6). Generally right after my workout I drink a protein shake, which has to be cleared by the FDA for it to be sold (7). I also buy the protein shakes with money I earn from mowing lawns, the set money value is given by the treasury department (8). Right after this happens I get picked up by my grandmother, who is able to continue her independence for as long as possible by the Administration of Aging (9). She will drop my off at my house and I'll make a dinner of vegetables and some kind of chicken that I find in my fridge. The food is all part of the food pyramid that I follow, the pyramid was made by the US Department of Agriculture (10). Right after dinner I will do my homework, and get ready for my martial arts classes. I drive on the department of transportations roads again to go there (11). After I finish getting kicked around in class for 2 hours, I drive home and shower and clean up. I generally go to sleep than in the home my parents provide for me because Child Protection Services say they have to till I am 18 (I hope they would anyways) (12). The hosue I sleep in is also approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (13). I get up the next day and go to school again because the Department of Education says I have to (14). And while I am living my life, I am kept safe from drugs by the DEA, who make sure kids know how bad drugs are and catch people who deal them (15).
