Environmental Issues

The current environmental situation is indeed very grim and both candidates address that what is going on right now isnt good for the american people. Politicians are allowing big oil companies to drill and the big oil companies currently have over 68 million acres of federal land that they are not drilling on. On top of that the current pollution in the air is causing the earth to heat up at least.4 degrees a year. Now that may not sound like much but it would only take about six degrees for the entire world to be completly underwater. I like how Obama wants to spend more money on keeping everything green and less money on tax cuts for big oil companies.

Nuclear Weapons

I have a strong opinion about nuclear weapons: they shouldn't exist period. The United States alone possess enough nuclear missiles to blow up the world twenty times over and I ask. Why? when we aquired the capability to destroy the Earth one time what pushed the politicians to make more? were they just sitting around and saying "well I think we need a little more just in case we need to destroy the Earth twenty time." People dont need that kind of power i belive we should just stick to guns. Nuclear weapons are just so destructive and bad for the human race.

Offshore Drilling

I am not opposed to the idea of offshore drilling but as I stated in the above; The big oil companies have over 68 million acres of federal land that they are not drilling on so the only thing I have to say about all of this is that they should drill up that land first before they spend new money on more land.
