Maine Senate Backs Same-Sex Marriage

Okay. Same sex marriage has been a hot topic for some time now. The article Maine Senate Backs Same-Sex Marriage basically states Main has legalized same sex marriage. Although I am completely straight, and not for same sex relationships. I think that all humans have the right of speech, to vote, the right to have weapons, religion etc. so why shouldn't they have the freedom to marry who they want. I am a strong Christian, but I do not have judgement upon them. Everyone has there own thoughts, believes, culture and so forth. So if they have a religion, they know you will go to hell for marring the same sex. Therefore if they want to spend all eternity in hell...that's their decision..right?

The Mystery of the West is Solved

All my life I have been very fascinated by mystery's. This article grabbed my attention. Although I think the government has a lot of secrets from the rest of civilization, but I do not think that a lot of them are about murders. This brings me to my next conclusion that people are not crazy, a lot of legends have been reviled in the past decade. A lotof what has been found, are exactly the way people have described them. In the article The Mystery of the West is Solved it talks about how the 75 yr old legend about an artist named Everette Reuss who became missing in 1934 after living his dream of finding new beginnings has recently been found. Scientist believe that the DNA confirms Mr. Reuss. Many people have talked about his man, but no one could prove he existed. Now he does.

Brain Researchers Open Door to Editing Memory

The article's titled Brain Researchers Open Door to Editing Memory, pretty much is self explanatory. Let me start of by saying, who doesn't want some part of their memory to be gone forever. Everyone has something that has happened in their life, that has caused them to be different, scared, or upset over it and would love for it to have never happened. What if it really could? What if the scientist have came up with some sort of molecule that could erase that one memories like chronic fear, a traumatic loss, even a bad habit. To me, this all seems to good to be true. If you read the article it talks about how they have tested this only on animals such as rats. He states "He teaches them to move around a small chamber to avoid a mild electric shock to their feet. Once the animals learn, they do not forget. Placed back in the chamber a day later, even a month later, they quickly remember how to avoid the shock and do so." My question is, how is are brain even similar to a rats brain, this just doesn't seem right. Even though the mice and rats may of done exactly what they planned, who said a humans brain will act the same way. Many things could go wrong in this procedure, such as, what if you lost a memory that you didn't want to lose. Or say your bad habits are gone, but what if your curiosity about it increases and it becomes worse. To me a bad habit is all in your head any ways. Even if a drug could erase it, why would it come back. It just seems to me that scientist are coming up with different things that doesn't even really matter. We need to find many cures for other things, but then again, a man came up with the cure for cancer many years ago, and he suddenly disappeared. It's all about what the goverment thinks any way.
