The Thought Provoker:
Matt: I recently learned that reusing a single use plastic water bottle or microwaving food in a plastic container is exposing me to micro- and nanoplastics. Some of these materials are toxic and can have lasting health effects. I am angry that corporations are allowed to put hazardous materials into products that could harm me or my family without some kind of warning label. Should these manufacturers be forced to put warning labels on their products?
Shawn: President Biden has announced that he is going to pardon Hunter Biden because Hunter was treated differently by the justice system for political reasons. Trump says that the January 6 participants should be pardoned for the same reason. Is Trump right?
The Big Question: Savannah Eccles Johnston has an article in Square Two comparing Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum Address with teachings from the Book of Mormon. She argues that both teach that the only way to prevent tyranny and political collapse is devotion to the rule of law. Lincoln argued that unjust laws must be obeyed to protect and preserve freedom. This is in contrast to Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.’s call for civil disobedience. They taught that by refusing to submit to the wrong or cooperate with it in any way, individuals can non-violently confront evil and lead society to a greater good. How should members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints confront unjust laws and policies?
