Re: Jaw Flappin'

I read Jennifer Gadush's post on how she feels about the Texas legislature. She goes into it talking about how she doesn't like how they decide to go at things. She uses capital punishment aka the death penalty as an example and how they are deciding to kill the criminals instead of dealing with it, and also talks about the health care issues we are having and how they aren't giving their resources to the ones that need it. She is basically saying that Texas, as a state, chooses to ignore their problems and act like we are this peachy happy state. 

I honestly agree with what Ms.Gadush is saying, but I feel like the things she states and talks about aren't credible because she doesn't have any sources or actual quotes to back up the claims. If she had a few newspaper articles, or a few quotes from Rick Perry that show the neglect of issues, it would've been a better written piece. I like how she asks a lot of questions, because it makes the reader feel involved and it really makes them think. I feel like she has a lot of good points, and she backs up her claim, which is Texas ignores it's problems and it's pride gets in the way, with enough examples. I like how she chooses to describe Texas (which is also very accurate). She uses words like "stubborn", "embarrassing Texas ways." 

Texas has a lot of social issues, and we are not dealing with these issues to the best of our abilities. Ms.Gadush really put a lot of things out in the open by pointing it out. Her post did a good job by bringing attention to this issue, because I personally didn't really notice how we neglect these social issues, and how we like to just push things under the rug. Her post was fairly good, and she needed was to have some credible sources so her post could've been credible.
