TITLE: Is
Arizona’s new law a solution
to America’s
immigration debate?
The Constitution and federal law says
that immigration -- like all matters relating to foreign
policy -- is a responsibility of the U.S. government, not the
states…In defending the law, Arizona claims that the state is
entitled to work cooperatively with the federal government on
immigration matters, especially when the U.S. government has
failed to police its borders.
The Arizona
law is scheduled to go into effect on Thursday, July 29, 2010.
A federal judge is hearing arguments about whether all or some
of the law is constitutional. The most controversial part of
the law requires local police, who have made a "lawful stop,
detention or arrest" of an individual, to determine that
person's immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion"
that the person is an illegal alien.

law a solution to America’s

Should a 17-year-old who shakes his own baby to death
be charged with murder as an adult?
"An Akron judge has ruled that a
severely brain-damaged infant may be taken off life support."
The father is 17. The mother is 19. They are not married. The
father allegedly caused the brain damage. The father is
currently charged with felonious assault. When the baby passes
away, the father may be charged with murder. Should he be charged with murder as an
adult?

Question
posted July 29,
2010
There are many debates and
discussions around the BP oil spill, and its short- and
long-term effects. One area that has elicited great discussion
is the severance package offered
to Tony Hayward after he was
ousted as CEO. Newsweek
asked the question whether or not Hayward
should forfeit his severance package. Estimates say that this
package will generate approximately $18 million for Hayward
. A US government report reveals that over an adult's working
life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn
$1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million;
and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million. Haywood isn’t
the only one to receive
large chunks of change when they failed to complete contracts
or were fired because they failed to meet expectations. Here
are some people who received
large amounts of money for either not completing their
contracts, or were “fired” but got money that was left over
from their contracts. There are many other examples out
there.
Charlie Weis $18-30 million
Stephon Marbury, at least $18 million
Larry Brown, $18.5 million
Richard Grasso $140 million
James Kiltz $130 million
Maybe I am naïve, but people
I know who have lost their
jobs don’t continue to get paid. If they get a severance
package, it is never more than one week’s pay for each year of
service. And if they lose their jobs for failing to perform
usually get nothing. I have made the comment that I would be
willing to sign a five-year contract to coach a Major League
Baseball team, only to be “bought out” after the first year
because of a miserable performance. Then again, no I
wouldn’t. I will ask the same question as
Newsweek, “Should Tony Hayward forfeit his
severance?”

Question
posted July 21,
2010
Where do
we draw the line with regards to free
speech?
Two recent events have
once again created a flood of very interesting conversations
about free speech. The first was Lindsey Lohan's middle
finger message to the judge who sentenced her to 90
days in jail. Instead of just "flipping the bird," as the
expression goes, Lohan painted the words onto her middle
finger. This message was clearly visible while Lohan
was in the courtroom. In Colorado , Rick Strandlof claimed
he was an ex-Marine who was wounded in Iraq and received the Purple
Heart and Silver
Star . The military has no record of his service.
Colorado's Stolen
Valor Act makes it a crime to falsely claim to have won
a military medal. The Act was ruled unconstitutional.
The concern was that, "It puts the government in a much
more powerful position to prosecute people for speaking out on
things they believe to be true but turn out not to be true."
As we are all well aware, by following sports contract
negotiations, being honest at the podium is not even an
expectation. The issue focuses around free speech though. I
remember very clearly my grandfather saying, "Just because you
have the right to say it doesn't make it right to say." Is
what Lindsey
Lohan did in the courthouse criminal, or just the
rantings of a child in this privileged generation? Should what
Rick Strandlof did be criminal, or is it one's free speech
right to lie (as long as it is not on an application for a
job, health care coverage or government form)? I would really
like to know: Where do we
draw the line with regards to free
speech?
