E.L.C

I'm still here, sorry I was at a week long field trip at wolf ridge E.L.C. They don't allow electronics so I couldn't keep up on my posts. Although you don't have electronics it's a very fun place to go. It's in Finland Minnesota, and its off the shore of Lake Superior. When your there you learn about the enviorment but there are fun things to do there like rock climbing, and adventure ropes where your suspended in the air walking across and obstacle course and you finish it off black ops style by using a zip line. You can come with your school or your family and you stay there 5 days. I missed a week of school going there. But now i'm back at school. Comment if you have any questions.

Internent

Hi. Every one here has posted pictures on their projects off of places like Google images. But doe anyone know how to properly do this? Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's yours for the taking. There is this thing called creative commons. This has taught me that the owners can put restrictions on what they want you to do with their work. Such as you can't change, or make money off of their work. Please comment.

Minimum Wage

We hear the words minimum wage a lot. But, does anyone know what minimum wage really is? For a large employer it's $6.15 an hour. A small employer pay $5.25 an hour. That's not a lot. Did you know there are two minimum wages? There's a state and federal minimum wage. The worker is aloud to pick the higher pay of the two. People less than sixteen can have jobs if they don't work during school hours, before 7 am or after 9 pm. They also many only work 40 hours a week or 8 hours a day.

Obama Care in the supereme court

Hi everybody. Does anyone know what's going on with the supreme court meeting today? What I know so far, the court is mandating whether or not to make everyone buy health care by 1214. Many people think this is unfair and many think it is.  I'm really one the fence about this. What do you think?
