Prop 19

Proposition 19, also known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, is a California ballot proposition which is on the November 2, 2010 California statewide ballot as an initiated state statute. It would take effect the day after the election.[1]
Proposition 19, if approved by voters, will legalize various marijuana-related activities, allow local governments to regulate these activities, permit local governments to impose and collect marijuana-related fees and taxes, and authorize various criminal and civil penalties.[2] Proposition 19 was certified for the November statewide ballot on March 24, 2010.[3] The official proponents of the measure are Richard Lee and Jeffrey Wayne Jones. Tax Cannabis 2010 is the official advocacy group for the initiative.
Medical marijuana is already legal in California, due to the enactment of Proposition 215 in 1996. California's voters rejected a previous ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in 1972, when 1972's Proposition 19 was rejected by a margin of 66-33%.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, an opponent of Proposition 19, signed SB 1449 on October 1. SB 1449 turns the possession of less than an ounce of marijuana from a misdemeanor into an infraction.

Class discrussion was interesting like I was all forward of not building the mosque then I started to see both sides. They both had some good points even though I wasn't that interested in the topic I still learn and what interest me how we freedom of religion but they don't want to build a mosque, but on the other hand they say everytime the Muslim build a mosque means they succeeded like the won so still a little confuse maybe next topic I'll be more interested in.

Exactly how far can you build a mosque from Ground Zero?

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a shot at those criticizing the construction of a Muslim community center and mosque near Ground Zero on Tuesday, asking rhetorically whether a new mosque could ever be built near the property that once held the World Trade Center.



“The question will then become how big should the no-mosque zone around the World Trade Center be?” Bloomberg told a Muslim-American audience at a dinner celebrating the breaking of the fast during Ramadan. “There is already a mosque four blocks away. Should it, too, be moved?”
