Dear Texas, Equality Means Equality..

Homosexual marriage is illegal in Texas. Isn't that against our freedom rights? Is it really making Texas a more functional State? Is banning same-sex marriage a key factor for this state's development?

The People of Texas defines marriage as a ¨basic human right that allows people to express their love for each other and allows them to “team up” for life’s many challenges¨. I think he is completely accurate with this definition. Moreover he basically says that banning same- sex marriage is as unconstitutional as some examples from the past such as black people being slaves and women not being allowed to vote.

So the answer to my first question is definitely YES. To answer my second and third question we need to analyze how and why gay marriage is bad for the state. I would say mind your own business and let the people with different sexual orientation live their life as normal human beings, because believe it or not, they are human beings like you and I. Just like The People's Texas said ¨love and marriage complement each other and should not be restricted to a single type of relationship¨. I could not agree more with that statement and with the fact that gay marriage does not affect the development of the state on a negative way. I am certain that not allowing homosexual marriages is putting an obstacle in this state's path on becoming more functional.

Powderitas

Liquid alcohol has been around for centuries and it is consumed pretty much everywhere.  Every person consumes it differently, whether underage or not, illegal drinkers are not the only ones that get, well tired and emotional if you want to see it that way. I am not saying that the only function of alcohol is to get f!@#$ up, but it is certainly the reason why some people are concerned about a new product that is said to revolutionize the alcohol industry. So, what is this controversial revolutionary product that is freaking out everyone? Powdered alcohol. Yes that is right. POWDERED ALCOHOL.

Republican state representative Charlie Geren proposed the House Bill 1018, a statewide ban on powdered alcohol. However, Geren postponed the measure until July 4^th after talking to some “people in the industry”, which means that the bill will probably die.  Kids seem to be what Geren and other critics of powdered alcohol or Palcohol are concerned about. They say that it will be easier for those who are not 21 to consume such evil substance.

I think those accusations are totally wrong. First of all, Palcohol is an alcoholic product so it will be sold in liquor stores. This makes it as difficult or as easy, depending on the point of view, as buying liquid alcohol for those who are under age. It is said that it will be four times more expensive than liquid alcohol. I don’t think that any teenager would rather buy one drink for the price of four just to avoid any back injuries from carrying a bottle of vodka on their backs.

I believe that, if regulated as liquid alcohol, Palcohol should not be banned in Texas, if people are concerned about illegal consumption of alcoholic substances (which will continue with or without Palcohol), then people should focus that energy on solving other problems such as fake IDs.
