No Need for That.

I came across an interesting writing from CNN the other day titled, "Guns for Women on Campus Make Sense." This article was written by S.E. Cupp. She is a columnist at the New York Daily News and a political commentator for Glenn Beck's "The Blaze. Cupp aims to relay a message to fellow women that they shall be armed and have something to defend themselves from attacks, in this case, rape. I think we're all still debating about the [necessity] carrying guns on campus. The craziest, stressed out people are college students. I'm not narrowing down that they are the only people in the world. Crazy people are everywhere, depressed, and especially pressured people are also everywhere, including in college campuses. How many of you have encountered "accidental" fire alarm on campus of a student who is "brave" enough to pull it to get out of an exam, or suicide because one couldn't handle the pressure of college. This environment is questionable enough to not let the people inside having a party with the guns. 

Surely not everyone will want to carry guns or can carry them even if the law permits. Letting students on campus to have that freedom is not okay too, men or women -not yet, at least. Police officers on campus are trained and their specific job is just that -to protect. Let's just say they have the [more] stable mind and spirit to be trusted with guns. 
Students have a lot going on in their minds already, and probably not the best idea to be armed on campus. 

There are many alternatives for women to defend themselves. I bet a simple heartbroken girl would pepper spray the guy who dumped her on Valentine's day -my goodness if these girls own a gun. I am not saying that only girls/women have the tendency to act violently, but so do men. Yes, there are attacks on campus and so is everywhere else. Nowhere is truly safe. 

I would disagree with Cupp. The idea of teaching the students self defense technique to get out of an attack is not bad at all, also at the same time, trust the police on campus. They are there for a reason. In turn, those in charge of security should really do their job. Forcing the law to [finally] allow women or anyone (not specifically trained) for that matter, will only add another threat -other than rape of course.

"The Politics of Responsibility, Not Envy"

Here is a good article from the Huffington Post. I think the title itself is already very interesting, “The Politics of Responsibility, Not Envy” I know a lot of other words that I can relate to politics but responsibility. This article takes off in response to a statement made by the former Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers, who said, “the big political challenge in addressing economic inequality is not to embrace ‘a politic of envy’” –he is currently the key economic advisor to Hillary Clinton. This page and a half talks back and forth the past and present status of the US economic issues with more emphasis discussing how are we going to treat economics inequality in workplaces, in conducting business, and inside the government. It's worth a full read when Huffington Post is stirring the opinions of the “fundamental changes needed to build an America that works for all of us.”
