I too recognize that the tragedy in Arizona was devistating to thousands of people. But I do not blame the political rhetoric, because these are things that are going to happen and you should expect arguments and ralleys to take place when two teams of people disagree. It happens everywhere. There are more important issues that we could be focusing on, and we shouldn't even be discussing this. They are arguing about why they are arguing.

If, instead of arguing, the two parties put aside their differences and worked together a lot more would get done. I do not agree with the comments that were made about how political rhetoric caused the Arizona shootings, not in Andrea’s post, but in many others’. There is no fact stating that the political rhetoric caused the shootings. The man who did it is obviously a troubled soul, and to blame political rhetoric on what happened is preposterous. I personally think that people no longer know who to blame, so they think of anything that might possibly make sense. Columbine is a great example of this. “Last month, The American Medical Association flirted with adding video game addiction to its list of mental illnesses” I do not understand why people can’t just understand that sometimes there is just nothing left to blame. Did anyone ever think that maybe the people who commit crimes like this are mentally ill and there is nothing else to blame? Well, obviously not most people.<br /><br />Nizza, Mike.

I think that the media is a huge factor on why things aren’t getting done in Government. It doesn’t help that everyone is poking their noses into problems that the government should be solving. I think if we take a step back and look, we will see that as Erik said, the media is what needs to be toned down. There is so much debate in just the media alone; they all fight too, it’s not just democrats and republicans. If we could tone down media we might just be able to keep Government running smoothly because there won’t be so much interference going on with the public. I agree that issues such as health care shouldn’t be toned down, but instead the arguing should be the thing that is toned down.<br /><br />Suresh Kulkarni. "Will rhetoric tone down?"

I feel that there are people who do try to get things to change but people have different opinions and it makes it so that we cant get anything done. We need more people in office that want to make America a better place for all, not argue about whos doing what.

Theresa Jones said, “Maybe if the Democrats and Republicans stopped arguing for a little while, and actually, I don’t know, worked together to solve some of the many issues going on in America, the country would be a lot better off.” The Democrats and the Republicans must, indeed, quit their quarreling and take immediate action on the most important issues such as healthcare, illegal immigration, and the economy. Any act of revile will simply proliferate malicious rhetoric in the media, appeal many eyes of the viewers, and bring ratings up. Rather than playing the “Blame Game,” the Democrats and the Republicans should debate and compromise on these issues with self-control at their side. In the absence of self-control over our tongues and thoughts, no sensible conclusion could be brought up. On to Erik Ramirez’s comment, he said, “The shooting must have been his own intention of seeking attention…” While that may be true, I strongly think that it was Loughner’s unstable, ill mind that led him to do such a horrifying, irrational act. He probably didn’t know what he was doing. There was an article that I read a few days ago regarding the final hours before the tragedy happened. “He collected the film several hours later, shortly before 2:30 a.m. The New York Times reported it contained ‘multiple photos’ of the 22-year-old college dropout posing with a Glock 9 mm pistol next to his naked buttocks and dressed in a bright red G-string.” Clearly, there’s something wrong with his mind, and I’m sure no one would even imagine a guy wearing a G-string. If you go to YouTube and search up the video “shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner new video about Pima Community College,” you can see that most of the things he says are of equivocation. A lot of the YouTubers who watched this video even considered him insane. Although we can’t make clear of his ambiguity, this shouldn’t prompt us to ignore the things he has to say. Who knows? Probably under all that cryptic ambiguity is a meaningful message we all must hear.<br /><br />- Jarel Lim, Per. 4<br /><br />Gaynor, Tim, and Brad Poole.

Instead of trying to figure out and solve problems, they try to win one another and that does us the people no good. So when Gabriela said where is the government protecting and serving us, i can’t say I know that answer 100% because the only thing they do is run this country from going beserk . Like the Obama health care law should have been passed long time before he was president , because we as Americans should have the right for free health care. If the government really did protect us .why is that the republicans are trying to repeal the law? We spend so much money on the war of drugs , war on Iraq , but we can’t spend it on our own people who are less fortunate. Other counties who have free health care really aren’t having many problems with it. Many could keep the prices low and still make a profit, so when the republican’s say it won’t work for us I have a trouble believing that , that the U.S. the so called greatest nation can’t manage free health care sounds pretty hard to believe.<br /><br />-Erick Rosales<br />period 4<br /><br />http://www.bvblackspin.com/2011/01/19/republicans-vote-to-repeal-president-obamas-healthcare-law/ <br /><br />Republicans Vote to Repeal President Obama's Health Care LawERICKR24https://www.blogger.com/profile/14687822774124474325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-36603559761244484552011-01-21T23:43:47.845-08:002011-01-21T23:43:47.845-08:00@k.pacheco_10

We seek out shelter from our ambiguous mind and the thing that seems to influence use the most, the thing that surrounds us, TV and music. These things are just catalyst to help us understand the real picture of what is really going on in the word, but the need for "ratings" on TV has blinded the media's true goal of what it is not anymore, and that is to inform the general public about the world outside their homes. Now the bigotry between republicans and democrats has but escalated, and it has almost nothing to do with democracy, it has to do with whom posted what about whom on "Facebook," Sarah Palin is a great example of this.<br /><br />The media likes to grasp on what little it can and blow it out of proportion to entice disputes to air on their show to get ratings. They seem to not understand that in this process they will eventually hurt someone or offend someone provoking them to take matters into their own hands, and making such events like the "Arizona Shootings" be an example of what a simple TV show can do to a persons mentality and decisions making.<br /><br />So all in all, please turn it down.<br /><br />-Andrea Natalie<br />1st Periodandreanataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325758412374299228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-21399610340285728242011-01-21T23:41:36.988-08:002011-01-21T23:41:36.988-08:00I have to agree with Juan Montes.

"I don’t think those issues should be toned down because those issues are important to the future of the United States of America and maybe even the future of America." Allowing tragic events to tone down important issues would cause havoc. Immigration, an ongoing issue, has been an ISSUE. Immigration has repeatedly been postponed or vetoed. <br /><br />i disagree with Bryan Hales. Why would you tone down important issues that will affect us in the long run, immigration and health care? This would allow gaps to appear and nothing being completed. Since the Arizona shooting, there has been many other shooting occurring in schools. Would you stop finding a good health care plan because of this event. I WON'T ! Things need to be done and toning down political rhetoric is not the answer. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-Nathifa DeAndrade p. 2<br /><br />< “The Daily Show with John Stewart.” 01/18/2011.

I personally believe that things get done more efficiently when people are able to calm down and listen to each others opinions. I like how Mark wrote “Everybody has different values, belifs, and opinions and the only way to discuss these fragile areas are with cooler heads.” I also agree with Ryan Starke when he says “People die everyday, and if issues like this were stopped every time anyone died then they would never be solved,” but I disagree with him disagreeing about ”Republicans and Democrats should be more open- minded and try to see through one another’s viewpoints so they can make compromises on these issues”. Keeping an open mind is what helps us see from another person’s point of view. One person cannot be right all of the time.

Nothing has ever changed and the republicans and democrats are indeed NOT doing anything about it. <br />I also agree with what she says about the Reps and Demos ever getting along. These two parties have been going at it for ages and nothing is going to stop them from disagreeing with one another. Blaming each other is not right, i mean it was not the Reps and the Demo's fault for the whole tragedy that happened in Arizona. It was all brought up on the man who decided to do it.<br />Although their feuds may NEVER stop, they should indeed all PAUSE and re-think everything. Speaking over each other is not going to do anybody good.<br /><br />Second Response;<br />I agree with Jennifer Duque, "The Democrats and The Republicans will keep on going after this tragedy because the health care reform, immigration issues, and the economy still need to be discussed patiently and be analyzed very carefully." What she said is very true indeed. Just because something like this has happened, the parties are NOT going to stop feuding with each other. It will go on and on, and basically no body's point will be pointed across. As for the Immigration, Health Care and the Economy situation, these parties have more intentions of TRYING to figure out a solution, which hopefully in the future they will FIND ONE. Like Jennifer said, these people need to be discussing these issues nicely, and should analyze everything carefully.<br /><br />Takaua Tupou, Period 1kauluwehi93https://www.blogger.com/profile/16864522202537377839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-17089452021130521182011-01-21T22:55:39.968-08:002011-01-21T22:55:39.968-08:00I agree with Kevin Pacheco in everything he said a...I agree with Kevin Pacheco in everything he said about what is taking place in the world without people realizing the actual cause of such tragedies. Tone is not really anymore the case if people just don’t get too influenced by what they hear from both parties and then adding violence to one of their habits. Taking this issue from a different perspective I find that your opinion concerning the issues that are leading people into confusion is worth to be taken into consideration. Life is a school by itself, whatever we experience in one day should be a lesson for the following days. When people just use the easiest way out of conflicts by giving up for the right than what should be expected other than the wrong overlapping our society and causing all that sorrow. Instead, hard times should be the perfect opportunity where we ought to prove and persevere on improving the conditions. We should all understand that whatever is edged in our hearts from issues that took place in the past shouldn’t let us apart from always expecting nothing other than the truth. I don’t see why people contradict with others upon opinions since everyone looks at the world with a different perception instead of using other more civilized ways to express feelings. The society consists of people’s opinions and different thoughts which can all be useful once people share it with each other in a social way. Media as Kevin said is also one of the causes that we people are also blamed for over analyzing the things that we hear making it look worse. The media now a day is one of the most important methods that is used for people to have the chance in being able to know what is going on around us. People are always complicating matters making the good and bad things look as an abnormal thing, but nothing really is extraordinary about it. To help prevent more problems we should take a look at own selves before blaming others, try to know the wrongs form the rights and then help others on taking the right path in life.<br /><br />Phil,B."The Predicted Economy of the United States of America".

As Ryan Starke mentioned, political parties will always disagree and I believe it should remain this way. Anthony Rodriguez's statement that "These parties need not only to tone it down, but to stop it all together," may have been too idealistic, people should merely tone down the political rhetoric, not eradicate it. Realistically, people will never be able to agree entirely and we must learn to embrace this. If any one person has an idea, it takes others to find its flaws and these ideas circulate until the populous can reach an appropriate concensus. This defines a democracy, which, as opposed to a totalitarian society, grants freedom and individuality. The tragedy in Tucson, Arizona should be mourned, but to say citizens should abandon politics entirely will result unfavorably.

She brings up what is really I personally think the issue is. And that’s putting aside differences between the parties and settled what is essentially at hand right now in America. Here’s what she said ‘Without addressing of what is truly important on what’s happening in the world around us, nothing would be changed, all our mistakes would just be repeated and nothing would be solved. Politicians should act now, subside their differences, and focus on a plan to solve the issues on immigration, health care, and the economy ,since this has been an issue for quite a while.’ Also, when she starts talking about the national debt ‘I understand that the government is trying to come up with solutions to cure our issues, but most of their percentage has been about arguing since each individual enacted in the government has different prospective on certain issues.’ It coincides with political rhetoric taking its toll on the American people not knowing what is really going on. Because of this I think that government can’t function on what’s at hand.<br /><br />Azalea Armixo period 4<br /><br />Kelly Belton. “A call for more mature political rhetoric” The Tech Talk Online.

The one thing that I do agree upon is, "Some people don’t really have enough money to pay to be insured it makes it hard for them. The health care plan makes it easier for people because it will be more affordable...". This pretty much explains my view on the Health Care reform. Since Health Care is pretty expensive in the U.S., the vast majority of the population is currently not being covered. As the results from the Census show, currently the number of uninsured citizens is in the MILLIONS! Personally, I believe that it should be universal, and not just available to the privileged few that are capable of affording it. "I think that instead of them fighting they should both work together as team and I think we would get better results from them and get reforms and laws done quicker." This is the only thing that I can disagree on. It's far too difficult to change the way a person thinks. Until everyone thinks the same way, the fighting between the political parties will never stop.<br /><br />Census Bureau: Number of Americans without health insurance rises to 46.3 million<br /><br />THE ASSOCIATED PRESS<br /><br />Thursday, September 10th 2009, 11:25 AM<br /><br />http://www.nydailynews.com/money/personal_finance/2009/09/10/2009-09-10_number_of_americans_without_health_insurance_rises_to_463m.html<br /><br />-Jose Valdovinos P1mordeth17https://www.blogger.com/profile/17893008637960813551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-52490506681570455222011-01-21T21:53:19.909-08:002011-01-21T21:53:19.909-08:00I would have to agree with the points made by Nata...I would have to agree with the points made by Natalya Sierra when she says that “We should have some rhetoric in the political environment but a CIVIL one”.

Also by Juan Gamez when he mentions that “Health care should not be tones down because it has helped those with pre-existing medical conditions”. They have brought up really good reasons for me to agree with them and it all makes sense because there are more important issues out there but the people don’t need to hear about violence or disrespectful arguments between both parties right now.

These issues are important and have to be brought up until something is done to improve or solve these problems. She also says that there will be more things that happen and I agree with this, because you will never be able to make everyone happy. Doing things to make a certain group of people happy might make another group of people mad. She also says that instead of focusing on the tragic events that happen, both parties should be focusing their attention on the more important issues such as: immigration, health care, and the economic crisis. I also agree with this, because if they can solve these problems our economy would be a much better place to live and people would be less likely to lose their sanity and commit violent acts like shootings. I also agree with Melissa when she said that we will see how civil the Republicans and Democrats will be by showing us that they aren't just accusing each other for things that occur, but instead work together to find a solution. I agree, because I also think it's a waste of time to try to find someone to blame everything on just to make themselves feel better. Instead they should be trying to fix the problem to prevent more tragic things from happening for the same reason.-Cecily Lorica <br />"House Republicans Tee Up Health Care Debate After Pausing for Tucson Victims."

If the shooting makes them stop bickering, then they should feel ashamed and unworthy to run this country because if where fighting ouselfs how will we accomplish anything.

I agree that the Arizona issue is important,but our political leaders should focus on other issues. As of right now, they aren't doing what they're suppose to do. I don't understand how this one tragic incident can get a new ban passed in Arizona in just a week! This really shows how our legislation isn't getting a lot done.If they can all get together and agree on this bill, why can't they agree on anything else? As Alan stated,"Instead of throwing our issues under the bus we should be joining together and not making each other enemies." That's the only way our country is going to move forward.<br /><br />-Kierra Shelby<br /><br />Rau, Alia Beard. "Arizona Shootings: 'Funeral Protection Zone' Bill Signed by Brewer."

I believe Allan makes a valid point when he discussed the issue of the Tuscan, Arizona shooting and other political issues. The point that i recieved from his response was that we need to look past this horrific event and focus on the issues at hand. He also states that we cannot control tradegies and we should come together and solve these issues. I agree with Allen because alot of his thoughts were the same as mine and i can see where he is coming from.<br /><br />Bryan Hales period 1<br /><br /><br />Stewart,jon,"Arizona Shootings Reaction"10jan.2011.online videoclip,comedycentral152-pounderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235242859427989678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-77083947283566260092011-01-21T20:22:53.348-08:002011-01-21T20:22:53.348-08:00After reading through some of the responses, Marga...After reading through some of the responses, Margarita Perez' response caught my attention. I totally agree on what she had to say on how political rhetoric between the Democrats and Republicans should not be toned down.She backed up her point of view by regarding how the U.S has been battling over enormous amount of issues and should concentrate on agreeing on reforming issues such as health care, national debt, immmigration etc. She also stated that tragedies occur all the time and a tragedy like this should not tone down the rhetoric on reforming things. I agree with this , my personal question is that if tragedies occur more often and if Democrats and Republicans tone down their rhetoric over America's issues then will Democrat and Republicans hault on trying to find better ways over helping our society? If they're unable to, I believe our problems in our nation will just get even worse.<br />-Vivi Rivas P.4Vvsince93'https://www.blogger.com/profile/02627194155328321222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-13543735130304130782011-01-21T20:11:47.454-08:002011-01-21T20:11:47.454-08:00I agree with Juan Montes because i feel that we ne...I agree with Juan Montes because i feel that we need to keep it going strong. if we tone it down it makes one side or the other soft and possibly more submissive. the dream act could have done great good for others who are illegal to have a better life. I believed that the 2 years of service was truely good a price to pay to become a citizen. others might feel this unjust but it is a price to come here illegally in the first place. these subjects call for very strong feeling people who are willing to defend their views no matter the cost. So long as their not radicals that has mental issues that would harm another its needed.

Controversial issues such as health care and immigration should never be toned down. Even though it was a tragic event, both democrats and republican aren’t going to stop arguing. Erik brought out a good point that Loughner, before the shooting happened was that he wasn’t a stable person to begin with. I also read a article that says he was high off of marijuana. Prior to loughner, Erik also made a good point about how the shooting was his own intention of seeking attention. The only defense of the shooter was that he is mentally ill but I figure that to be absolutely false. Like he said before, the media is the one that should tone it down and stop pointing fingers. Immigration and healthcare are issues that need much attention. Grant it, this event was devastating, but this isn’t going to change anything for the political parties and how they carry on with issues such as medical care. The media is the one that needs to tone it down and stop making it drastically longer than it has to be. <br /><br />Tommy To<br />Period: 4<br /><br />"Joseph A.

Also Theresa says, "I feel that in order to actually stop all the problems going on in America, we should actually act on them, instead of blaming everybody else". I feel the same way and will go as far as to say that it should be common sense for them to do just that. She also mentions some of the things that Jon Stewart says. Briefly, he said that that we live in a "complex ecosystem of influences and motivations" but to say the Political rhetoric is the cause is not proven and wrong but it sure would be nice because to identify the problem would make things easier but it's not that simple. Theresa also adds, "..in my opinion, I think it is absurd to blame someone killing six people and wounding many others on heated arguments". It does sound absurd. He wasn't the only one in America exposed to these heated arguments yet he's the only one who went out and killed 6 people and wounded 14 others. On the other hand, I don't agree with Anthony Rodriguez who says, "These parties need not only to tone it down, but to stop it all together". I think we need some rhetoric in the political environment but as I said before, a civil one.<br /><br />-Natalya Sierra<br /><br /><br />Stewart, Jon. "Arizona Shootings Reaction." 11 Jan. 2011.
