Comment on Why Eco-Friendly Cosmetics Matter by Beth DeAntonio

Thank you Jenna, your article hit many important points. I would just like to point out that many products labeled natural are not 100% natural. Many manufacturers consider petroleum products (mineral oil & propylene glycol) natural because they come from the earth. Consumers must understand the importance of reading ingredient labels of all products, even those labeled natural. There are no regulations for using the word natural and many manufacturers try to fool unknowing consumers.

Bottom line, read everything.

Abdominal discomfort is one of the most common side effects that is reported when using probiotics. People sometimes report feeling bloating after taking probiotics. Bloating happens when the digestive process produces excess gas. Feeling extremely full is a sign of bloating. Pain in the abdominal region is another side effect that users report while using probiotics. People need to see their doctor if they experience any kind of abdominal discomfort after they use the supplement.

Right to Work is a strike against unions

Comment on Is “Right-to-Work” Legislation a Strike Against Unions? by Kristen

We need to get rid of all these Right to Work campaigns. De-unionizing is not the answer. In fact we need more unions. If my employer was a union I would not have all the problems that I have now. I need an employer that listens to me. As a college student I am not treated fairly in the workplace. I bring up problems that never get solved. They schedule me more hours than I can work. It is company policy that states every employee is eligible for a raise every six months. It’s been a year and I still have not had someone talk to me about the raise I deserve to get. As a woman and a young adult I am underpaid. I cannot pay for my education, doing the hard work that I’m doing, making only a dollar over Indiana’s minimum wage. In fact, I would not even be going to college if it wasn’t for my dad being a part of a union. He’s a laborer, but he is still able to make a living. We need to remember the working class! It is a fact, unions help all workers.

Managers these are payed to make there employees feel weak and defencless.
You can get more work out of them for less pay. Managers also get bonuses for doing a good job at this.
Its really sad the way people treat one another when influence by money.
I can’t imagine why know one would develop a drug that would reduce ones greed.

Comment on The Legality of Corporations as People by Jere Hodges

Jere Hodges — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:31:17 +0000

Stating that “Corporations are a collection of people is hardly a fallacious argument.

It only becomes fallacious when you define “people” as those who work for the corporation. But, much the same way as unions and political parties, it’s not employees who make up the “personhood” of a corporation – rather, it is the members – the INVESTORS – who make up that personhood.

People who have chosen to form a group together joined by a common purpose – the success of a company and its profitable operation.

By that definition – if a corporation is not “people” – then neither is a union, a charity, or a political party.
