Everlasting Beiber

     We all know of the famous Justin Beiber who was poorly raised in the "streets" of Canada and became something(Rather BIG) from nothing.  Bieber started his musical career young with high talent and gained a huge amount of attention while signing about keeping one girl and trying hard in school.  Somehow he has changed from the harmless young kid into a typical trashy teenager.
     Recently he decided to pee in a bucket.  The question that comes to my mind is... Was it to be funny and gain attention? or... Was it because Justin Beiber is no longer harmless and is actually a trashy mean person.  Beiber is following the typical path of a young popstar.  Right there with miley and brittney and plenty more.  Perhaps he is trying to gain attention to stay "hip" or maybe it's just bringing in more money so he can buy more outrageous outfits.  What ever he is trying to do is not going to work out in the future.  Beiber is living in the moment and rightfully so but is no Michael Jackson.  When Bieber's "goodlooks" leave him and teenage girls are no longer obsessed, he will be forgotten as a trashy Nobody.

Johnson and Johnson

     Johnson and Johnson (a well known pharmaceutical company)  was fined 2.2 billion dollars for illegally selling drugs to increase their revenue.  Whats sad is that 2.2 billion dollars is nothing to the Johnson and Johnson corporation and nobody was even fired.  Johnson and Johnson was selling drugs illegally to children and elderly people.  They should not be allowed to just pay people off for the illegal actions the corporation has committed.  It would be harsh to shut them down because they do provide a great company on the legal side but actions like this should not go unaccounted for.  I believe that other companies like Johnson and Johnson are committing crimes as well and that large corporations should be looked at more closely.  I hope this lawsuit sends a message to large corporations that making a little extra money is not worth it in the long run.  Perhaps now, many people will not buy from Johnson and Johnson.

NYC Smoking

     As many people now know, the smoking age in New York City has now been raised from 18 to 21.  In my opinion, I support this law.  Raising the age will not only discourage many young people but put fear in young peoples eyes too.
     Ive personally lost 3 grandparents to smoking and heavily support raising the smoking age to 21 in all states.  Smoking will eventually perish if the rate of decline continues to fall which will save many peoples lives.  However in New York, if many young people want to purchase cigarettes, then they will purchase cigarettes.  So many young people under 21 have fake IDs in order to buy alcohol and tobacco.  Even kids in states other than Colorado find ways to obtain even though it is illegal.  It is too easy to get what you want now a day without any consequences.  With saying that,  raising the smoking age will lower the smoking rate because it will discourage many people by being afraid of the law.  I hope this law will eventually be upheld in all states and thus many lives will be saved.
