Only Time Will Tell

The clock on the wall, can signify the law, in many ways the hours can demonstrate the just laws, the people that look at the clock is the audience whether their "opinions" or judgement is fair or unfair, in order for us all to be aware, we should be alert about legal activity and not criminal activity.

put down you're weapons and open you're hearts

The clock on the wall manifests the number 2:19 pm as we are about to rap up our day we didn't know the words we spoke might be the last ones we say bang, bang shots rang through the halls  he raised his gun killing my friends but he didn't even care he continued to take the lives of the young causing my body to freeze as if  I were paralyzed bang, bang this time I was hit I feel my life slowly drifting away but I guess that's the price we young ones have to pay because you guys wont put you're weapons away

this body is mine

the clock on the wall ticks and ticks oh why does this clock exists? if times does not change a thing we will continue to be in pain. tell us why do we continue to fight if you're going to continue to strip us of our rights? my body is my temple and my body is mine so how dare you ban me from doing what i want? you made this law as a belligerent taunt not because you care about the embryos lives but because you want to take over mines! - Amya 

Bike life or Life behind bars?

Have you ever heard the roars and screams of quads and dirt bikes zooming down your street at high speeds? Its the movement known as "Bikes up, guns down" other times referred to as "Bike life" that started in 2016 where young individuals take the streets on off-road vehicles to protest gun violence and police brutality in hope of change wile at the same time still having fun. But are they freedom riders? Or a menace to society?

We at "we mean business" believe the best thing to do is to just leave these group of young men and women alone. You may ask "Why the hell would you do that? They are a danger to other peoples lives!". Well for starters In the past four Martin Luther King "Ride outs" there have been no reported deaths to pedestrians or other drivers in the areas these riders rode in. Secondly The riders don't really show aggression to others on the road. They are also protesting for a good cause without using violence. Finally they are really only a danger to themselves. Although these Off-road vehicles are illegal to drive on public roads and are often not registered or are stolen they have the right to exercise their first amendment. 
In conclusion we at "We Mean Business" believe these riders have the right to protest for their belief and to exercise that right.

Should the government tell you what to do with your body?

    Georgia's governor Brian Kemp feels as if its his choice to decide what women should do with their body. Georgia has been under an abortion ban,a new law which would make termination illegal before many women even know they're pregnant.                  Telling women they can not have abortions and do what they want with their own body is taking away their basic human rights. Having the baby can do more harm than good because the baby could be a product of incest,rape, and drunken accidents and in some cases the baby could put the mothers life at risk. Conditions ranging from ectopic pregnancy in which an embryo implants itself outside of the uterus, to preeclampsia which causes skyrocketing blood pressure and can lead to strokes and seizures, can and do threaten the lives of pregnant women. A fetus does not have an heartbeat until after 3 to 4 weeks! so the officials who claims that a heart beat is detected at only two weeks is giving out false information. abortion should not be banned and women should not be harassed for wanting an abortion. however, some  may think women should not have been having sex if they didn't want to get pregnant but they should not be ridiculed for having a human desire that all humans even other animals have and they certainly should not be force to keep a child they do not want or may not be able to care for. Some women may have been forced into sexual acts that later on resulted in them getting pregnant. Just recently, may 14, 2019 to be exact a precious child has been pronounced as pregnant at the tender age of eleven....i would think people would want an eleven year old to play with a baby alive not a baby that is alive. 
     This is something she shouldn't have to experience at such a young age. She was a victim of a rapist and now has to carry his child into the world because the new bill signed by Ohio gov. Mike Dewine last month bans women from obtaining an abortion once a heart beat is detected. So this young girl is going to be traumatized because a man says she cant have an abortion. They're making her have a child when she herself is a child. This poor girl could be at risk if she has this child  and the baby could even be at risk,the younger the mother is , the greater the risk to her and her baby. the risk of maternal death related to pregnancy and childbirth for adolescent girls between 15 and 19 years of age accounts for 70,000 deaths each year! For girls younger than 15 the risk increases dramatically. Girls who give birth before age 15 are five times more likely to die in child birth than women in their twenties.
   So why are the government making her risk her life to bring an unwanted child into this world? Well maybe their misogynist or maybe just prejudice against women. So i'll ask again should the government tell you what to do with your body? I don't know about you but i want full ownership over mines! #mybodymychoice

What age should we start driving?

            This question is asked a lot "should we allow kids at such a young age to drive?" we feel as though 16 is an excellent age to start getting behind the wheel of a car as long as you have put in the time and practice you should be fine keep you're eyes on the road.  We all strongly agree that you should be able to drive at the age of 16 and up. All you have to do is pay attention and hope that the other people on the road are also paying attention, wear you're seat belt you know what they say "seat belts keep you hanging in there."  as long as you keep it safe and don't drive reckless Of course people are going to disagree with what our group is saying because there are some teens that drink and drive don't wear their seat belts and because of that we have lost many teens over the years to reckless driving and its sucks but things happen that. teens starting to drive at 16 brings less stress to families because the teens are able to drive themselves as well as driving at the age of 16 helps maturity levels grow and build responsibility and last but not least driving gives us that freedom and our group feels that every teenager needs that little bit of freedom so you don't feel as though you are locked up in a cage. so we believe that if you take time and learn how to be a safe driver and not put anyone in danger you should be able to drive at 16 and up. and you never know twenty years from now we probably wont even need to drive but for now we believe that we should be able to drive at 16 and up
