HB 245 sponsored by Nancy Ballance

HB 245 is trying to pass the legalization of the sale of raw milk.

The bill wants to make it legal for people who have small herds of cows, goats, and sheep to sell raw milk. It is currently illegal and they want to make it legal. They believe that people are becoming  so pure that we are becoming less immune to diseases.

People that support this bill feel that if people want to risk being sick that it should be legal for them to do so. People grew up drinking raw milk. Look how many of these people are fine now. If some one got sick then the herd would be evaluated. Something that people forget though is that just you can get sick off of the milk you buy at the store. If you don't take care of milk properly you are going to get sick.

Opponents of this bill argue that you are increasing your chance of getting sick. They also say that there are certain organ eating diseases that can do a lot of damage before it is detected.

"everything we do in life has risk," "but we make choices for ourselves and our families on the things that we feel are best for them. I believe we should (support) this bill and let Montanans make that choice of themselves."

I believe that our families should be able to drink what they want. It is kind of like the Prohibition. Rather than regulating it and making sure it is good, it makes people push it under the table. Then there is no regulation of it and it does increase the change of getting sick. I believe that it should legal and people that want to drink it is should be.

I think that the terms are just fine the way they are. I think that they should just leave them. Changing everything is not always good. Why change a system that is already working. I think that there are more important things for them to be working on. I would encourage them to not pass this.

I agree with Bullock. I think that if more people carried guns certain crimes would be less. Switzerland had almost everyone have huge guns in their houses and they have next to no break ins. I think that more people carrying guns would cut down on some crimes. However, there are people who should not be allowed to have guns. People who are already deemed dangerous to community should not be allowed to carry guns. I agree that if everyone has a gun then what is the point of having concealed weapon permits. I think Bullock brings up some good points. Giving dangerous people is not going to make them any less dangerous. There are those people who can carry a gun and be perfectly fine. I just don't see the right people taking advantage of this. I see the wrong people doing it. I would tell them not to pass this.

So today I am doing a random blog. Today I am going to blog about the craziness of senior year.
It is really crazy. The stress is different though. The homework load is somewhat less but you have way more things to do. Scholarships are one of these things. Also you have all of these big decisions to make. Like they expect you to know what you want to do for the rest of your life that the age of 18. Well curve ball. I have no idea what I want to do. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but no I don't. I mean there are so many cool jobs out there that look fun but I cant just choose one. So I guess to sum things up. If you don't know what you want to do when you are getting ready to graduate it is ok. You have plenty of time!
