1) My editorial was in summary about gun control and how it should be more strict. My article as an example talks about how a gun that was used one month ago in the pentagon to shoot two police officers in the pentagon has now been sold to a Georgia gun dealer, which was taken from the Memphis police department during a drug bust. The author of my editorial sees problems with this: that it is absurd to put guns back into circulation and that guns should be destroyed after used for evidence. The author thinks that gun show loophole to require background checks for all purchasers should be closed. They think we should definitely crack down on all illegal gun shows to stop prohibited purchasers from buying and shooting again.
2) I think this is an interesting article, and I do agree that we should crack down on illegal gun shows, because the criminals who cannot legally buy guns can do so in a gun show with no background checks. Guns used prior by criminals taken by police for evidence should be taken and destroyed after evidence, so we can lower the number of guns out there.

1) My editorial is about how Maryland is in desperate need of updating their child support. The last time they updated it was 1988. The author goes on saying, in 1988 gas was only a $1.08 and houses were merely 100,000. So obviously times have changed and so should their child support. He thinks we should focus more on the childrens needs. There is a bill that would bring the guidelines in lines with todays economy. This week it was overwhelmingly passed, and they are to vote again on friday. The author wants committee members to keep this article in mind when they vote.

2) I agree with what the author says. The author makes some valid points. Times have changed, espcially money/values of things, so Maryland indeed needs to update their child support.

1) the summary of my editoral is that we expect too much from our presidents. We were expecting so much from Obama with all the rage before he was sworn into office. But now that he is president, the author says, our lives have not changed. He thinks it wouldnt make a difference if Mccain or Obama was president. He says we need a miracle worker as president, and no person is going to do that for us, that we should not have that kind of faith in the president.
2) I do not really agree with this article, it obviously would make a huge difference if our president was somebody else. I think the author is too negative on the pres. Obviously the president cannot 'walk on water' but he can do a lot. We should give him some credit for what he has done.
