blog 8

(Before I even start this blog/segment I want to express my respect to the author. I am claiming to be no star reporter myself so please do not be offended or angered by what I have typed).Very interesting topic. I agree that Rick Perry is taking much needed health care out of the hands of many Texans. I am all for Presidents Obama`s Health Care reform. Now lets discuss your blog.
Let your voice be heard! The article you picked to support your topic was short but has some very good opinionated content. However, "the authors opinion is the only opinion present. This left me some what confused on your thoughts/point of view about the plan. I would have loved to read more about how you felt and less about how the author of the article felt. This is why you should have a strong stance. A stance is simply one sentence that summarizes the central idea of your topic. By developing a strong stance in your writing ,you can relate your point of view and convince your audience at the same time. If I were against the health care plan you would not convinced me to change my mind the author would have. State your opinion. Make your audience connect with you.
Things to consider. There is just one sentence that I had a hard time understanding. "With the governor trying to stop this form happening may start a lot of disputes with his re election." "a lot" should be alot and the authors credibility speaks for itself because you retrieved the article from a credible source so you may want to omit that sentence or the few words talking about the authors credibility. I enjoyed reading you blog.

Its a Bow`t Time

THANK GOODNESS! As of March 18th Austins City Council member unanimously voted to pass a no kill plan for its Town lake Animal Shelter downtown. After many decades of slaughtering poor defenseless animals the community agrees IT`S ABOUT TIME! The plan is not in full effect yet only a "slowdown" has been issued.The plan includes a $12 million dollar facility to be built next year in East Austin. This facility will house stray and lost animals and also animal from other shelters until they are adopted, and will most likely be ran by a nonprofit organization.
Animals are innocent and deserve to live. Before this plan was finally signed Austin averaged 8,873 murders (puppies ,kittens ,and all) each year. Each Year! Think of the families that had lost dogs at these shelters. The animals of this world are defense and most of the time scared. We(Americans) build towers that take mass amounts of our animals space and when there is nowhere else for the em to go we kill them. That`s the sad reality of it all. These animals were pushed/forced out of their homes by us. They deserve a safe place in exchange for being forced out of their houses for corporate America.
The Animals were never the problem, its always been the people.In addition to the those pesky wood choppers we have irresponsible ,lackadaisical ,down right trifling owners who couldn't`t be able to parent an ant much less a dog ,cat ,or bird.when animals are in the hands of people like this all kinds of things can happen. I honestly believe people who have never owned an animal in their entire life be it cat,dog ,rabbit etc... should be required to take some sort of animal education class. Nothing too extensive , mainly the basic parenting and up keep required for that specific animal. People with puppies or any newborn domesticated animal should be first in line for this class.Classes like these may even decrease the number of animal cruelty cases.
Who knows what`s to come now that the plan has been passed, the door of opportunity is wide open. It is my hope that every shelter would adopt some sort of lpan like this. One thing is for sure pet owners everywhere are happy.
