3 Op-ed's that intrigued me



http://www.montanakaimin.com/index.php/articles/article/caught_in_the_act_guy_candy_not_storylines/95
I really enjoyed this article because I feel the same way as the writer. Porn is so friggin unbelievable that I don't see point in it even though I am a man. The only ones that I could see really liking it would be men that have never had sex with someone other than themselves.


http://www.montanakaimin.com/index.php/articles/article/braaten_spring_is_not_all_that_its_cracked_up_to_be/974
This article was intriguing to me just for the simple fact that people like this scare. As soon as the snow has melted you will more than likely find me in shorts outside chilling. Not that I am against someone's personal views if they don't want to be out there with me but come on outside and enjoy the scenery while we have it.

I enjoyed this article because I believe in the message. Not only should this apply to the President of the University but to all of the world leaders out there. So many of the elected officials are just mouth puppets for the people really running the show behind the scenes which causes so much of the chaos when they don't stick to their platforms that got them into the office in the first place.

Sustainability Research.....

So this week our posts are supposed to show at least 5 resources that we plan on using to get information on our Sustainability Papers. Right now I definitely have 5 that I plan on using but I am still looking at more.

https://bl2prd0102.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=7c56e09768914382a8e5ce31d0cf6f72&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.diabetes.org%2f The American Diabetes Association web page on living with and managing diabetes is another great source of information. I will most assuredly be using some information from this source.

I will be using some Im almost positive.

Sustainability topic....

Hmmmm....Our next assignment for Writ101 is a resarch/personal essay on sustainability. I was driving back to Helena last weekend when I figured out what I could potentially write about. It was seriously like a light went off outside my head and the angels were singing. I am going to write my paper on sustaining Life with Diabetes. My angle is the fact that I don't have it but I am highly susceptible since my mother and grandmother both have/had it respectively as well as as my brother in law. I am currently employed at St Peter's Hospital in Helena on the weekends but have worked many jobs there over the last 2 years in the admissions department. One of those is registering the patients that show up to talk with the Diabetic Educators there so I am planning on trying to interview one of them as well as my mother. Then I will also do online research as to what exactly diabetes is and what we can all do to prevent the disease.
