- 1. Name and describe the responsibilities of national, state and local government. National, state, and local governments all have different responsibilities. Local rules over a town or a city creating laws (or ordinances) for that specific area that may differ from surrounding areas; however the local laws are overpowered by state laws. State laws again can differ from surrounding states but only their specific state. So Michigan can rule over Michigan, and any part of Michigan but it has no jurisdiction in Ohio. State government is overruled by national government, they have power over every state, city, town in the country, they are the highest government for the United States, they do not have jurisdiction in Canada or Mexico, only the US, but they can decide weather or not to go to war with another country, they have the final say in all court cases, their rule is the highest and cannot be topped. 2. How does the Michigan State government affect your life and that of your family? Be specific and explain how you are affected. The state government affects my life by creating laws for me to abide by. Like for instance: if one of my family members had possession of illegal marijuana in my state they would be arrested and charged with possession, this is a state law because now in Washington and Colorado you are allowed to have it in your possession but in Michigan you can neither posses the drug its self or any drug paraphernalia or you will be arrested and charged. It would affect me because seeing that happen could possibly scare me away from doing drugs, but at the same time I have friends that have been arrested with possession and just got a slap on the wrist and a little probation, so that would give me the influence that its not so bad. 3. How does your local government affect your life and that of your family? Be specific and explain how you are affected The local government affects my life by creating laws for me to abide by. Like for instance: if one of my family members were to get drunk and decide to take off all their clothes and make a snow angle, they would be arrested for public indecency; they would be taken to jail and tried in court. I would be affected by being embarrassed because more than likely my neighbors would have seen them and my neighbors happen to attend school here, so word would travel fast. Would probably have an affect on my life later when I get to the age where I can drink, I would be a lot more cautious of how much I consume, and I probably would drink when its snowy. 4. Describe the process by which the Health Care Bill became law. Is this a positive or negative process? Why? If negative, explain what would be a better process and why. If positive, explain why the best bill comes out of the process The health care bill became a law by bribing members of congress so that they would pass the bill. It helped out the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. Also it helped out the state of Massachusetts by making the US tax payers pay for the people of Massachusetts. It’s a negative process because you end up with a really long bill with a bunch of words people don’t understand, so they just don’t read it. This makes it easier to lie about what’s in the bill. Also people like Kieran Ignani and Max Baucus spend millions of dollars on advertisements to destroy a bill if the bill doesn’t benefit the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. Which is why Obama didn’t have much of a choice but to include benefits for their industries, his bill would have died immediately if he hadn’t. I think a better process would be to start with simplifying bills. And you can present an outline and then fill in the details. Make it simple so it’s easy to understand, that way it is harder to twist your bill around, and that way people actually have a sense of what they are voting for. That way the bills get passed for what they are, not for who had the most convincing commercial. 5. How can citizens influence state and local public policy or governmental action? Be specific and provide examples from your life and/or current events. Citizens can influence the government’s actions in multiple ways, we all vote, so we have a say in what we want. That is a start, we vote on who runs the different levels of government, we can vote people out of those elected offices. We can start a protest; in fact there is almost always a protest in Washington DC. We can take it to the court system, and then depending on the issue depends on how far it will go. People can bring issues up at public meetings at their city, town, or county, they will then take your issues and give them to the state, if they still aren’t resolved they go to congress and then to the constitution.

- Witty is kinda dead. So here's what we should do. 1. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS It's the best way to get more active users. You don't have to tell them your account, but just show them the website! As many people as possible; if you think they'll be interested, get them to join. People wonder why the 'old witty' used to be so active. It's because a lot of users would constantly be inviting new people to join, and recycling the community. It works, so do it! 2. WRITE MORE QUOTES Traffic is so sloooooow for two reason; there aren't a lot of uers, and therefore there aren't a lot of quotes. So write more quotes! Make the 'New' page active again. I'm not saying you should make a quote of every mundane thought that goes through your mind (not that there's anything wrong with that) but seriously, how can you complain about inactivity if you only write two quotes a week? Look at all your absolute favourite usres, or the ones with the most followers; more often than not, they'll be active themselves, and write a lot of quotes. That's the whole point of Witty. 3. FAVE MORE QUOTES I've noticed this year that some of you are pretty stringent with your faves. Which is cool. But just remember that the more quotes you fave, the more quotes get faves, and if everyone does that, theoretically, every quote gets more faves on average. This is how to go from gettign 100 faves on a top quote back to getting 1000. 4. FOLLOW MORE USERS Yeah, I get it, it looks 'messy' to follow a ton of people or whatever. But the fact is that it's gonna get more people to see more different users and their quotes. And you also get to see more cool quotes on your own homepage. And if everyone follows more people, then again, theoretically, everyone gets - on average - more followers, more people seeing their quotes, more traffic, blahblahblah. 5. ADVERTISE WITTY Put up posters! If you care enough or are bored enough, take screencaps and post them on facebook/twitter/tumblr/instagram/whatever else you waste your time on. Tell the friends that you invite to invite THEIR friends. EXTRA ADVICE: - use this website how you wish everyone would. If you don't like a ton of boring layouts, make or use exciting one (you can literally use ANYONE'S layout as long as you keep credit; it's not that hard!). If you don't like your quotes only getting five faves, then fave more quotes. If you don't like quotes about cutting, for example, then don't write them, don't fave them, just ignore them! - go to 'new' quotes before 'top quotes'. Regularly check up on the 'people you follow'. -Talk to users you like! It's fun! You're never gonna make friends on here unless you comment users you'd like to talk to. It also gets more traffic in your page, btw. ;) -For God's sake, stop complaining to Steve about every little thing. He's not your mother. If you have a problem, PLEASE try to solve it yourself before running to the site creator for help. -I'm biased on this one. But please, ffs, use nice formats. And iclude credit, oh my god. -I love love love going through all the quotes of users I like. If you're bored or you feel there aren't any good quotes here anymore, go to your followers list, and read all of the quotes by someone. I tend to do this a lot for users who have already left. -Browse through 'following' lists. It's a great way to find new amazing users. -WRITING ORIGINAL QUOTES IS NOT HARD. And pretty much everyone prefers it. So give it a try. :L Okay, that's all I can think off the top of my head right now. Suggestions? Advice? Rants about the old witty and how much you miss it? The comment box is your friend. :') I may make more quotes like this. (Should I?) &&& what else lalalalaaaa, yeah, ACTUALLY DO THE STUFF ON THIS LIST PLS. P.S. Don't mind the tags. I need people to see this. xD
