Age Limits, Founding Fathers, and the Foreseen vs. Unforeseen Age Limits, Founding Fathers, and the Foreseen vs. Unforeseen The U.S. Constitution sets the minimum age for serving in the House of Representatives at 25 years old . Fast forward to modern medical science, and we now know that brain development isn’t fully complete until around age 26 . It's a fascinating case of foresight—or perhaps the best estimate of maturity given their understanding at the time. This often gets me thinking about common arguments for restricting constitutional rights based on what the Founding Fathers “couldn’t have foreseen.” A favorite target? The Second Amendment and its relationship to modern firearms like automatic weapons. But let's consider a better example of what they couldn’t have foreseen : the invention of nuclear weapons . The sheer scale of destruction po...

A Thousand Years of Peace: A Vision for Humanity In a world where challenges are complex, solutions must be creative and impactful. Throughout my life, I have been shaped by experiences that few would choose but many could learn from. As a volunteer with the American Red Cross, I have stood on the frontlines of human suffering—whether it was the chaos of hurricane evacuations, the devastation of wildfires, or the quiet heartbreak of families displaced by disaster. I have witnessed firsthand the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion, generosity, and service. The mission of the Red Cross is simple yet profound: to alleviate human suffering, no matter who or where. It is a mission that transcends borders, religions, and politics—a mission that has shown me that peace is not just the absence of war but the presence of justice, equity, and opportunity. It is this belief that drives my vision for a world where peace is no...

Federal Custody Death Reporting Forms | Bureau of Prisons Data Improvement Improving Data Collection on Federal Custody Deaths After reviewing the current data on deaths in federal custody, I found that the information provided was lacking and, frankly, questionable. Shockingly, 10% of these deaths are reported as occurring for unknown reasons, and another 10% are documented as happening in unknown locations. Such ambiguity raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability within the federal system. To address these gaps, I developed a new three-form system designed to close the data collection gap and provide more precise insights. This updated system will assist in identifying and addressing the challenges faced by federal inmates and facilities more effectively. Each form is tailored to specific roles within the Bureau of Prisons...

Comparing Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide | Killian Yates Comparing Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide Understanding Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) First, let’s establish the difference between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as they are often confused due to their similar names. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced primarily from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. It is highly toxic to animals, including humans, as it can cause severe respiratory and neurological issues even at low concentrations. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring gas essential for photosynthesis. It has become a central focus in climate change discussions because of its role in the greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming. While CO₂ is not ...

Revitalizing Opioid Policy: The Case for Domestic Opium Production Revitalizing Opioid Policy: The Case for Domestic Opium Production As we confront the opioid crisis, it's time to explore innovative solutions that can address both the supply and demand issues while benefiting our economy and national security. One such solution is the controlled cultivation of opium poppies within the United States. This approach could not only provide a steady and safe supply of medical-grade opioids but also deliver economic and security benefits. The Case for Domestic Opium Production The opioid crisis has highlighted the need for a stable and controlled supply of medical-grade opioids. Currently, much of the world's opium comes from regions fraught with conflict, such as the Middle East. By cultivating opium poppies domestically, the U.S. could mitigate the risks associated with foreign supply chains, such as political instability and support ...
