Restoring the American Bison to its Rightful Range

1) How would you prioritize the reintroduction of the American Bison?

Education would be the first priority. It's already in place for the Lakota to reintroduce their first language and culture, so I think this would be included in their priorities. I think it would be highly effective for Natives like Lakota, as well as anybody interested, to take those lessons to the rest of the nation.

I understand that the American Bison are no longer considered endangered, but places like Montana should recognize that this animal is sacred to the land. Obviously, not every state is as dedicated to this cause as some are, but that needs to change and that comes with education.
On top of this, I think it's funny that states have their own symbolic flower and that it's illegal to pick most of them. Why is it so hard to understand that animals are just as important, if not more, to the country, not just the "silly" little state? Our priorities are waaaaaay way backward!!!


2) How would you assess the "New pill promises to reduce breast cancer risk"?

How I feel about pills in general has a negative opinion from me about the pill in general. Women tricking their bodies into thinking they're pregnant isn't my idea of healthy. Now, men doing it?

Imagine this - "Hey baby, don't worry about it. I've been taking this pill so you don't have to worry about getting pregnant." Yeah right! Who would trust that guy? Not me!
These pills haven't only promised to reduce breast cancer, cramps, spotting, 7-day periods and babies, but they also can't promise that they won't cause blood clots, prevent STIs, wreckless behavior or babies (only 97% if taken properly). So, how bout that? A pill to help reduce breast cancer? Forget our diets and the fact that breast cancer may just run in the family. I guess I'm S.O.L! This pill doesn't exist to me; it's not an option. The best I can do is eat healthy, exercise and have fun, period (no pun intended).
