Commentary On Legalization

 I really enjoyed reading this post about legalization of marijuana  in Texas. The author did an excellent job comparing and contrasting the state of Colorado with Texas. The author was effective at conveying the benefits of legalization of a drug that is still deemed extremely illegal in Texas. It is hard to argue against the potential benefits an increase of Tax revenue will have on the state of Texas if weed was legalized and heavily taxed. This is why I am hopeful for the future. As  Texas' culture changes and population grows making Hispanics the new majority in this state their is a strong argument that in the far future Texas can turn solid blue. Once Texas has gone through this color change then we will start seeing change such as legalization of marijuana and many other liberal policies. To insight change it takes more than a majority that has similar ideals it takes strong activism of this new majority to create real world change in law and in policy. This is why to really create change you must first convince the younger generation and the new majority that they have the power to vote and elect officials that will properly fight for what they believe in.                    

Original editorial or commentary #2. Blog #7

    This commentary pertains the very interesting idea that stems from affirmative action in the race-sensitive admissions policy in the University of Texas and colleges across the nation . The idea that you receive a position or are admitted solely due to your race has raised discriminatory questions for many. Among those is Austin lawyer Greg Gregenheimer claiming the law that states that four positions of the State Bar of Texas governing board be held by women and racial or ethnic minorities is in his view discriminatory to white men. 
      Claiming it is in violation of federal anti-discrimination laws. Gregenheimer is suing in part because he wants to apply for this position that by state law calls it to be filled by a female, African-American, Hispanic-American, Native American or Asian-American. The position is entitled minority director.
   This lawyer seems to share the idea of a new movement that proclaims that affirmative action has seemingly gone overboard to the point it begins to discriminate white men. This is although is absurd idea from many to those that are seeking this job or that admissions spot it begins to become more of a a reality to comprehend. The gauge of fairness is increasingly difficult to set in stone for all to follow. It will take many fights settled in the judicial system to answer the eternal question of what should and shouldn't be law. This is why the judicial system is so important in our modern society today. There will always be lawyers that are able to flex the law in one way or another citizens can only hope this flex is right and just. This this is why citizens have the power to elect judges to order add to the fight of what is right from wrong.
