In the article “Teen at the wheel: A Tribune Update; should 16-year-olds drive?” they discuss about whether or not 16 years old is the right time to drive.

    The article includes several of details and quotes. It’s a question that could reverberate across the country, whenever a new teen driver is turning a key in an ignition. Is 16 the right age to get your driver’s license?  Researchers for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety say the answer is no, and they point to statistics to back up the position that raising the driving age makes sense and would save lives. The insurance institute had pressed the question for years. A combination of factors contributes to make teenagers poor drivers.

   I think that 16 is a good age to start driving. I think they should have to take a 3 test. I think they should a written test, and test on the computer, and a test driving. I think they should take those entire tests just to be sure that the person is ready to drive.

   I am 15 and I have had this experience already. I was driving on the rode practicing so that I would be ready for when that time really comes for me to take the test and drive in the car.

   This article helped me think more deeply about this topic. I now see that driving is serious because if there’s a mistake then someone can really get hurt.

   I have no more questions to be asked but I do have a comment. When the day comes to take the test be careful, pay attention, and do your best.

   In the article "Marijuana law just creates sriminals--CNN.com", they talk about people being arrested for the possession of marijuana.
    The article includes amny details and quotes that suooprt this. More than 50,000 pewople in 2011 were arrested in New York City for possessing small amounts of marijuana. The majority of whom were black and Latino--at a coniderable judical and finacial cost. New York City spends about $75 million every year on arresting people for recreational marijuana possession. A majority of these arrest happen only in certain neighborhoods. Indeed, compounding the injustice is the fact that 85% of the people arresred are black and Latino. Yet studies consistently show that younger and affluent whites use marijuana in equal if not greater numbers. The dcamage to police and community relations cannot be overstated. We should stop needlessly criminalizing tens of thousands of yourng people for doing the same thing.
     I think that they have a reasonable reason for why they arrest people for doing what they do. I think they should take the marijuana off the streets. It would be better because less things would be happening.
   This article reminded me of another article I was reading. They both were about getting rid of marijuana and the consiquences.
   This article made me think about all the things that do happen. Marijuana should just be banned period.
   I want to know how they made out with getting rid of marijuana.
