What my classmates think of the legal system

In today’s blog we have to pick three blogs from our classmates and comment on their blog and the quotes that they used from the book business law.  The three people that I picked were Gustavo Ibarra, Raymond George Price, and Jonathan Boyer. Raymond Price quoted on his blog that   

“No one person can possibly know the entire body of law.” (Essentials of Business Law, Liuzzo, pg 3). I think this is very true, I agree with Raymond’s point of view we do have one of the best systems in the world. Nothing is ever going to be perfect but over all this is okay and we have some type of control. The law does seem to have a lot of ways to defeat the law and there are a lot of loop holes that can be overcome, it really depends on the type of attorney and money you have.

"The federal agency responsible for the safety of food and drugs sold in the United States is the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA requires that all drugs sold be thoroughly tested to ensure that they are both safe and effective." (Essentials of Business Law, A. Liuzzo, page 473 I think Jonathan has a point on that it is up to the individual if they do drugs and how much of it they do. Were I do have to disagree is that all drugs should be legal there are to many drugs that are so power full and can destroy so many lives. Also if those drugs are legal people are going to thing that they are legal for a reason and can be used and have no type of effects on them, specially the younger ones.  I would hate and be worried to know that my daughter would have an easier access to those type of drugs, it just does feel right.
The number of crimes that involve business continue to grow as changes in business practices and technology offer new opportunities for wrongdoers to benefit from illegal or questionable activities 

I agree to a certain expend with Gustavo Ibarra some laws are just to twisted and there are too many exceptions to one law and ways you can get around It, that lawyers take such a big part on how things can go down on a case, and the jury some of those people are uneducated to be deciding on some ones case.

Greed is good?

Greed is good? Is what a lot of people think, in the movie it talks about how greed is good and how Geako doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He doesn’t care if he screws his business partner or all the employees and their families just for him to have more money, money that he will never probably see or spend. It’s sad to know that there are so many people that have nothing to eat or even no were to stay, well other people are giving away trillions and billions of dollars for bonuses a year. I hate greed, I wish there wasn’t any greed and that people will get paid an how hard they work or because their great business people. I don’t understand why people want so much money and they will do anything to get it. It doesn’t matter who they screw over as long as they get it. I’ve notice that money that you get from geed or bad money never sticks around for long one way or another it will go away because people get confident and think that they will always be able to get it. I have learned that money is not everything that there are more important things to life than having a lot of money or screwing people over, like having a great family that stands by you no matter what you do, having a husband that loves you and respects you, or having beautiful kids that brighten your day every time you see them or think about them.
The person that I would have to pick to be made as one of the dolls is probably my older sister because she really can get on my nerves, so every time that she get on my nerves I can smack the doll. That will make me feel just a little better.
