Double Journal Entry #11

Summarize: Governor of Illionois is accepting the law to make all sex offenders to be banned from social networking sites, such as Facebook. The writer of this article, Larry Magid, does not condon sex offenders, but makes valid points in why this law should not be passed. Larry goes on to say state many factual statistics that show that the people who have not been caught yet are far far more dangerous than those that have been caught already and put on the registered sex offenders list. He also goes to show that sexualy exploiting of teenagers on social networking sites is blown outof porportion. That only eight girls in four years have been harmed while 9,934 children were sexually abused in a single year in PA.

Evidence: Larry Magid shows many factual statistics to support his arguement throughout the article.
My opinion: I believe Mr Magid has a very strong arguement. After reading this article not only do i believe this law should not be passed, but i believe the governor should be using the time spent on this subject on approving a law that addresses a abetter subject than this. Im not saying that this subject isnt a bad one, but there are other subjects in this country that affect more peoples lives everyday than this one.
