I recently did more research on my topic of hoarding using two new sources, Twitter and blogs. These were unusual sources I'm not accustomed to but they linked me to new sources.

While researching on Google using the site operator I found three articles including .org, .edu, and .gov. The first article I researched was from the PETA website and discussed a type of hoarding called animal hoarding. People who animal hoard have a mental illness that can cause problems for the animals, family, and community. The environment for the animals within the hoarders home is very and unsafe and unsanitary.

In an article from the Huffington Post, titled "Teens With Lesbian Parents Do Better At School, Generally Happier In Life, Study Finds", it is discussed that there is a new study out that teens that live in a home with two mothers are more successful in school and happier in life. “Adolescents with Lesbian Mothers Describe Their Own Lives", studied 78 teens for a 26 years and they found that those teens had very high GPA's and had a strong relationship with family. The teens in this study said that they plan on attending college and had an open-minded attitude.

After taking the select smart presidential candidate selector I found out what my main views are for selecting a candidate. When filling out the survey I did not know a lot of information about taxes and employment because I do not pay taxes and I currently do not have a job so I was a little confused. I found that I had strong views in the categories of the environment and gay rights. I wanted a candidate that believed that global warming and climate change is caused by humans and would find a way to stop it. I also wanted a candidate who would legalize marriage for gays.
