The Power of Time

     The longer a source of authority is in control, the longer it is able to accrue power around itself. Once enough power is gathered that source of authority can become potentially dangerous or even corrupt. A good example of the prevention of this occurrence is the Presidency of the United States. After two terms, of 4 years each, the President leaves office and cannot run again. This prevents that unbalance of power. However in our own state of Texas the Governor has the ability to run as many times as they would like and if the people are happy with him he can be re-elected as many times as possible. Currently The Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has been in office the entirety of my life.

     This can either be a very good thing or be very bad. If the power of the governor exceeds the ability of the people around him and he begins the inebriation process of too much power. What happens if the Governor decides that the process by which the government is normally run is against his wishes? What happens if no one is able to stop him? What happens if his power is too great? Well for one thing he hopefully will make mistakes and lose the election for the presidency of the United States. (Fingers crossed)

     I suggest that just like the presidency of the U.S. we should set a term limit on the Governor of Texas. I am not saying that the power that can be achieved is totally bad. In fact if the Governor is exceedingly smart and has the Wisdom of Solomon himself he can make the entire state better. The likelihood of this occurring is unfortunately quite low. So setting a term limit can prevent any corruption or drunkenness of power that could possibly occur.

Abortion's Law

     In his article Abortion Law Appropriate my colleague presents his views on the "Abortion Sonogram Law". I Share views with my colleague and agree that his methods of development for the argument are valid. There is one thing i would have added if i had written this particular composition. This in no way takes away from the validity of his argument for the laws enactment. I agree that abortion is taking a life and that if at all possible that life should be preserved, however, their are cases where abortion is the correct choice to make.
     If i had presented this article i would have also included information concerning another case in which abortion should be indisputable. Due to complications with the birth, the woman should have a choice the abort the child if either her life or the babies life is in extremely high risk of fatality. If having the birth,an event that should bring life, only brings death then it is entirely acceptable for the women to prevent either her own death or prevent anymore complications that may arise. i believe this is just another situation where abortion should be an acceptable alternative
