the second commentary

Today, I read Jorge's blog Our Government Part Two. In this blog, it said that "In my opinion, our votes are not being counted as it ought to be. Our votes are for deciding which representative of a party go and vote in the electoral college. Most of the time we do not know at all who these people are, or if we really can trust our decision, which again we should all give our vote by ourselves, and not by these representatives."

I  agree with it.

However, I have my own opinion on whether we should cancel the qualifications of those representatives who voted, but whether we vote by ourselves. This is because if we cancel the eligibility of representatives to vote and turn to each US referendum to determine our political results, it is not ideal. Because the number of U.S. citizens is huge, if everyone's vote is used as the basis for the final political election, there are a lot of destabilizing factors at the voting level. Everyone has different education, different family circumstances, different backgrounds, and different understandings of national politics. It is easy to make very different or even outrageous voting choices. This is the result we do not want to see.

So I think we should keep the position of voting representatives in each political party, but as citizens with political voting rights, we should strive to understand the characteristics of each party and make careful and serious votes.

Trump's awful plan to arm teachers is straight from the NRA playbook

On Feb.23, 2018, USA Today  posted an article about our president and the shooting happened in Florida,  Trump's awful plan to arm teachers is straight from the NRA playbook . In this article, the author said," President Trump deserves credit for agreeing to meet with a delegation of frustrated and emotional survivors of the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla." When this tragedy happened, all over the country were very shocked at this murder case and also mourned the dead. At the same time of such a tragedy, we can not help wondering what kind of measures should be taken to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.  Trump's advice is that we hide as much as 20% of our country's school teachers in the hands of educators, which is not so palatable. Since the early 1990s, when Congress set schools as gunfighters, armed attackers, both student insiders and stranger intruders, they can secure supporters with little or no disse

What can we do in the face of high school shootings?

Let us continue to focus our attention on shootings in high school in the United States. On March 20th, a shooting incident occurred in a high school in Maryland, USA. The shooting caused two students to be wounded. The gunman was injured in a confrontation with the police and was sent to the hospital where he died. The successive shooting incidents on US high school campuses caused a broader and deeper reflection on gun violence in the U.S. community, and the U.S. public’s call for gun control and even guns have become increasingly strong. Among them, the families of surviving students and surviving students demanded that the government strictly control the issue of firearms. In particular, it was hoped that their legislators could keep the guns away from school on the one hand through the law, and on the other hand, they could completely block all harmful semi-automatic rifles. But it is absurd that in Florida where the tragedy took place, local politicians passed an extremely a
