Be smart or get out of America!

In Obama's speech he says that Americans must educate themselves on a higher level of education than just a high school diploma. As oaktownadam from the dailykos argues, Americans should have their own freedom to choose whether or not they drop out of high school or if they go to college or not.
He was mainly aiming at the people of today. What about the people of the past, the parents of the future generation? What about them? Not all of them completed college and not all of them even finished high school. What should Obama say about them? What if he was talking about just our generation?
Indeed we do only have Obama's words, and I sure don't trust those words either, but I don't trust half of the things people tell me now a days. Sometimes you just have to take into consideration what people say, even if it does sound insane.
The constitution was built on our own freedoms and right to express those freedoms. One way to express some people's freedoms is the freedom of deciding whether or not they finish high school or decide to go onto higher education. Obama should not be able to force education on people that don't want to higher their education. It would be violating our rights as Americans to pursue our rights under the constitution.
As oaktownadam argues that even though some people do not have higher education or even a high school diploma, it is not always impossible for people to succeed in life without one or both of them. I, myself, do know many people that have dropped out of high school yet still succeed in life. They still can get quite good jobs and have a life and family. Sometimes whats most important in someone's life is not always an education. Like what about the people that get pregnant and have kids in high school? What are they supposed to do? Some can't deal with the trouble of having a kid and completing high school at the same time.
Either way people should have their own individual freedoms and rights to choose whether or not they complete high school and decide to go to college.

Danger!

There are many serious issues facing Americans in the United States but one of the major ones is that of hazardous waste disposal. Disposal has become a major issue for West Texans.
Rocky West Texas makes the perfect dump for the contaminated Hudson River bottom waste.
Tons of toxic waste from upper New York is due as early as May in West Texas. Waste control specialists, that own land about 30 miles north of Odessa, will be the ones to receive the first shipment.
Between the years of 1947 to 1977 1.3 million pounds of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCB's were discharged into the Hudson. This will be the toxic soil that will be transported to Texas.
An 81 car train will deport from New York and head for Texas starting this spring. After the evaluation of the process by GE and EPA, there may be a train leaving every 2 1/2 days, from 2010 to 2015.
According to 2007 EPA data records, Texas ranks 10th in hazardous waste importers. If agreements continue as they are going Texas is on the way up the list quickly.
Neil Carmen, the clean air director for the Lone Star chapter of the Sierra club, points out an excellent statement.
Many people believe that its dangerous to have so much waste imported into Texas. There are so many other disposal ways to get rid of hazardous waste.
