31. I don't see President Obama's position as "Right Wing" . . .

May 2013

I think it is important to study the long-term health impact of taking hormone-altering drugs on young bodies. I don't believe this study has been performed. How could it have been? There are certain drugs that have devastating side-effects, even when taken for only brief periods of time.

Why jump to the conclusion that President Obama is playing politics? I would not assume a 14 year old would necessarily know how to use over the counter cough medicine. A few years ago, a young athlete died from using topical muscle pain relievers above the recommended dosage.

And what is this bit about disadvantaging African Americans. If ever there was a stereotype!
