It is horrible and when it comes to protection...

 

I was in Korea when the tragedy had occurred in Colorado on July 20, and I was even waiting for that movie, the dark knight rises, and I just started thinking about it, “why they did not or do not ban the gun?”

According to the article: “US: Shooting at Wisconsin mall injures at least 7”, in the Wisconsin, at least seven persons were injured by gunman and according to the article:”A guide to Mass Shootings in America,” there has been occurred so many accident by guns.
In my opinion, the US should block the way for getting guns.

 

According to The Hill’s article: “NRA endorses Romney as ‘only hope’ for firearms freedom,” the gun advocate claims that having the firearms is kind of freedom and they endorses Romney because, according to that article, he said “I still believe that the Second Amendment is the right course to preserve and defend and don't believe that new laws are going to make a difference in this type of tragedy.”

They, the gun advocate, also claim the gun protects their life and it keeps safe of their life.

 

However, I have strongly opposing opinion. In my country, having firearms is almost illegal and it is also hard to get one. So they rarely get though the accident or tragedy by guns.

If people want to keep safe, they have to throw their guns. If they do not want to be injured by gun, they should just ban it. According to the article:”Trayvon Martin's death: Should Florida repeal its 'dangerous' 'stand your ground' gun law?”, it will be real tragedy that someone who cannot figure out the situations is safe or not.

 

Energy Crisis and the War

It seems like the Crisis and the War.
The Crisis: We, energy consumer, almost burned out Energy source or fuel of earth.
To make things worse, there has enacted changing of climate such as Global Warming, Rising Sea-levels.
The War: People divided into two groups. Some people insist that Global Warming certainly exists and we should reduce the usage of fossil fuels for environment. To do this, according to their opinion, we should use an Alternative Energy or Green Energy.
The other group insists that Global Warming is non-exist phenomenon and phenomenon of changing of climate is temporary and it will find its place soon.
Also, according to their opinion, we do not need pay for other energy and we just can use previous kind of energy source from which is undiscovered.
Naturally, the basement of the issue is intertwined with political debates.

 

 

The Republican has second view, especially Mitt Romney. According to article of Yahoo news “Romney energy plan aims to expand drilling on federal land,” he insists that weakening the regulations on the energy industry will benefit for U.S citizen and it could make more jobs in the future.

They said changing the energy supply system from existing systems to new one (which is cleaner system) is cost too much and it will be huge waste.

Plus, according to article “The new gas boom,” in the Marcellus Shale could contain as much as 516 trillion cubic feet of natural gas so he insists that we do not have to pay for new system.

Also, according to article of Yahoo news “Romney energy plan aims to expand drilling on federal land,” he wants to build the “Keystone pipeline” for which help bringing more oil from Canada and Mexico.

However I do not agree that Idea about Energy Policy. I think that is waste too, the idea of building pipe line. And also, according to article "TAUBE: How Romney could save the Keystone pipeline", that idea is unproven.

I also do not think Global Warming or Change of Climate certainly exist. In many scientist in Korea, have pointed out changing ecosystems and they insist the cause of changing is Global Warming.

On the contrary, according to article “Climate events are not proof of global warming,” the climate events that are pointed out for the proof of global warming are not proof for that.



 

When I was 17!

at Lotte World :)

9/11.

It was tragedy. In September 11, 2001, 4 hijacked planes attempted to attack the WTC and Pentagon. North and South towers of World Trade Center collapsed and around 3000 people died in this attacks. The hijackers were operated by al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. According to the article “The World After 9/11” by Yale Global, Osama Bin Laden’s goal was to recreate the quagmire that bled dry the Soviet Union in the 1980s with America as the victim.

9/11 has maden many change in US and the world. First of all, it also attacked economy of the US. Second, people who live in US became feel fear for the terror. Third, according the article “The World After 9/11” by Yale Global, the attack led directly to the war in Afghanistan and indirectly to the war in Iraq. Forth, it also changed the national security infrastructure of the US.

 

 

 

Some people feel they are not in safe. Because there has been many attempt to hurt the US again and some other people feel they are in safe now at least approaching it because they think they know their “enemy” exactly. Second group are may think that the government of the US did everything that they should do. And they probably think they are winner for “the war on terror”. In addition, they already killed Osama Bin Laden, so they may think they already cut the root of terror.

However, I do not think so. Not only the people who live in the US but all the people can be into dangerous situation. According to John Payne in The American Conservative, he, the Osama Bin Laden was not just leader of terrorist. He was symbol himself. And I think until he been forgotten their memory, they will continue terror to the US.

Secondly, I think the US did it do everything that it should to keep America safe. But they did it only after 9/11. According to CNN article on 7/29/2004, some people argued that the former president ignored the warning about 9/11.

And finally, I think there is no winner for “war on terror”. No one got something. The government loses the trust from people, the people lose another people and the terrorist lose their life.
