How do you feel about the possibility of restaurants and other businesses having the ability to track your movements? I don't think that it's a bad thing that restaurants have the ability to track where I am as a marketing technique. It's when they start sending things or people to my house or phone constantly that it will get annoying and creepy.

Is this an invasion of privacy, or is it good marketing strategy?

I think it's a great marketing strategy. But if they start hiring people to follow me around, thats when I will have a problem with the whole thing. But if they just want to know where to advertise, other than my house, thats perfectly fine.

These two would not hacve been a happy couple because their point of views on marriage is completely different. The wife of bath is more controlling and wreckless in a way. The view of how a wife should act to the Goodman of Paris is that a wife should not do anything to go against her husband to to be more reserved and careful and not try to overpower her husband.The wife of bath would have not been careful and done whatever she wanted because she wants to be the powerful one and this would make the Goodman of Paris angry and when couples disagree, they fight. And when there are enough fights, the relationship deteriorates. Therefore, the Wife of Bath and the Goodman of Paris would not have been a good, happy couple at all.

Nate Duell 2.28.2014 I do not believe that using electronic cigarettes will lead to the use of regular cigarettes because people think the ecigs are healthier for you and don't cause problems to them, or others.
 * 1.) Do you agree/disagree with the argument that e-cigs will lead to addictive use of regular cigarettes? **

Yes, I believe the the FDA should regulate ecigs because there are still health warnings that come along with ecigs and addiction risks as well
 * 2.) Should e-cigs be regulated by the FDA in the same way that regular cigarettes are? **

If the FDA decides to continue to not monitor ecigs, our teens 5-10 years from now will no know the risks and warnings of ecigs, or regular cigarettes for that matter, because I think everyone will smoke ecigs instead of real cigarettes. Our teens wont think they are bad because everyone has one and there are no risks or warnings on the label because of the lack of regulation and these teens will be screwed. No matter what you smoke, you still burn your throat and layer your mouth, throat and lungs in whatever it is you inhale.
 * 3.) If it remains that the FDA does not regulate e-cigs, predict what effect it will have on our teens in 5-10 years. **

__**Gun Laws**__ No, because guns don't kill people, people kill people. Guns should not be sold to those who have tested positive for any type of mental problems, metal development issues or criminals. The guns themselves should not be regulated, the people with the mental illnesses should be. The guns do not need to be in their hands. A gun can lay out in the street as long as it wants and not harm anyone or anything. But once it gets into the hands of the wrong person, thats when the damage is done.
 * 1.) Should legally purchased guns be limited in the U.S.?**
 * 2.) What should happen with the regulation of guns?**

A Modest Proposal v. FSM
 * 1) How do the two of them use exaggeration, incongruity, irony, and parody in the text?**

Both of these texts use these devices to create a serious point while lightening the mood in a way and to make people laugh at themselves for how stupid or how wrong they are without insulting them.


 * 2) What points are each of them trying to make? Do you think that they were they successful? Why or why not?**

Both of these points try to address a serious topic without insulting someone and not stepping on their toes. I believe this is the best way to handle a sticky situation. Using a different example that does relate to a certain person or group is the best way to handle a situation without starting beef.


 * 3) Some think that these works cross a line - should any targets be "off limits" for satirists? Are there any jokes that just aren't funny, or is everything fair game?**

I beleive there are limits to this type of work. Creating a parody about the holocaust or slavery or Jesus' death for example, is just wrong no matter who youre talking to and what kind of point youre trying to make.
