New Jobs!

"The Labor Department said the U.S. economy added just 54,000 jobs in May, the fewest in eight months and far fewer than the 150,000 forecast for the month. Earlier this week, some economists downgraded their May job growth expectations after a report showed a sharp slowdown in private-sector job creation last month.The pace of hiring slowed sharply in May from the previous three months, when the economy added an average of 220,000 new jobs. Private companies hired only 83,000 new workers — the fewest in nearly a year, and local governments cut 28,000 jobs, the most since November."
After reading Jordan's it made me really think of what and how the economy will survive in the summer months. We need to do everything we possibly can to make this economy survive.

Violence Begets Violence

"Still more violence in the Middle East it seems…I highly doubt it’s going to be done until better governments are put into place. Simple as that. The only problem is a lot of people want a government that bases its laws off of the Muslim religion and its holy book the Quran. This would result in a society where women are suppressed, not even allowed to leave the house without head covering and certainly not entitled to an education beyond what they need to function as good housewives. This is something many Americans do not understand because they did not grow up in Muslim society, while they need to exercise their cultural relativism, I understand people wanting equality for women in Muslim societies."
I agree with Zack and that Muslim religion doesn't give women any freedome in there culture. Thats why I agree that we cant have laws and socity based on their religion and the holy book of Quran.
