Las Vegas is one of the greediest places to work only followed by Wall Street where money talks and the more you have the louder you can be. One of the biggest talkers on the strip is Wynn and the MGM Properties. But because these millionaire corporations having so much greed for the dollar we now have new jobs that will be on the strip with the opening of City Center. With new jobs opening up it gives our economics a chance to jump start its self which we need so bad in our economy. We are lucky in a way because most of our corporations on the strip give back to the community.
But there are other corporations that do not give back they take money that was given to the by the government and they give it to their CEO as bonuses which should have went to help others out.
Then there are the credit cards that are not getting more money from us because if we are late on one card they have the right to raise the interest rates on all of your credit cards. This means that it will put more of a hardship on the average family that has had to use their credit cards to pay for day to day stuff. All because the banks and finance companies want more money, after they abused the bail out money that the government gave them.
So you might say that greed being good is like a sword that will cut you on both sides. Yes if a corporation has a lot of greed chancing the dollar and they make new jobs and give back to the community then yes greed is good. However if they take and take and never give back I do not understand how greed can be good.

Bong for Jesus
iddle on this because the topic did involve an illegal use of a controlled substance. But there is a bigger issue here and that is violation of the right to free speech. He was standing on the side walk so there for he was not on school property so he should not have been any thing to do with school. He was not on the property that the school owned. Where I am sure that the school had a police of no illegal drug on in school or in the school environment. But when did the sidewalk become a part of the school, I believed that the side was belonged to the city not to a school.
Even in school I do not think that the principle has the right to say what can and can not be said unless it is a verbal attack to a another person. So for them to step in even if he did it to get even with the principal Morse for his actions taking action for disciplined that he did on Frederick . Morse still was wrong in action for trying to control the speech of a student of the property. It would be like saying that we as student do not have to right to say what we think her.
I do understand that this is a teenager but still teens have the same right under the first amendment to say what is on their minds as long as it is not verbal assault on anyone else.
I think that the 10 day suspension for violating a school policy on promoting illegal drug use. Was wrong all the way around as it did not happen on school property but there is still the problem that this teens rights were violated.

Week 1 EOC What I think of Lawyers
I have nothing against lawyers. In fact, I thank God for experienced lawyers who are there for us when we need them. Someone recently said to me that “all lawyers are liars.” I disagree. Admittedly, some lawyers do lie; but the majority of lawyers, I think, are honest. The legal profession is a harsh environment, and lawyers know the system better than anyone, so we are wise to seek their help in time of legal trouble.
The legal profession is a tough business and I don't envy the lawyers who are paid to handle people's problems. It gets ugly. If the world was a loving place and everyone did the right thing, then there wouldn't be a need for lawyers. They earn their money. Thank God for the experienced lawyers who are there when we need them, who understand the law, and do their job well?
I cannot even think how it would be to know that you had to help get a rapist off for raping children. Or knowing your client is not guilty of murder but the jury finds him guilty any way and sentences him to death. Or when you are representing a client that you know is a dirt bag of a father but he has more money than is about to be ex wife so he get the kids cause she has a no lawyer and he does.
Nerveless I do think that they should lower the prices and do more pro bono work. I know when I was trying to find a lawyer to take a case for me most everyone I called waited between $150.00 to $200.00 to sit down and talk with them for any hour. I ended up going with a friend of my mom’s that does not do civil law he does medial review cases. It turned out ok but is sure it would have been better if I would have had a civil attorney.
