An introduction to my mind...

Nearly every time I read the paper or watch a newscast, I suddenly feel like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole. Things aren’t as they should be. The laws now being passed seem so unreal to me… how can these people think this way? It’s all up-side down. There is no respect today, especially on the sanctity of human life.
As you may know, a recent law was passed regarding the over-the-counter disposal of the Plan B, or morning after, contraceptive pill. A law that I believe should never have been passed. As an American teen, I stand in disbelief of how my generation is being persuaded to believe that these drugs on the market are safe, when we are being withheld from information that have the potential to harm your health and well-being. I look at these laws and watch as things get “curiouser and curiouser”. This new law about the availability of Plan B has particularly caught my attention. As one of today’s youth, I find it amazing how many girls like me do not know the full truth about drugs like these.
I recently sent a letter to the Federal Drug Association expressing my negative views about Plan B, and I was surprised at the response.




I suppose that is along the lines of my “introduction” as of now.
After that I'll go on to the points that it is not a safe drug, it is risking your health as well as a life.
I’m finding it hard not to “point-fingers” or call people LIARS! Lol. But, to simply get the truth across, pray for me not to be such a politician and focus on good writing.
Should I have pointed out that it was Lewis Carrol that I was quoting, or is it somewhat self-evident?

I think it is OK to remind people who Lewis Carrol is. This sounds like a good metaphor to develop, since most people are familiar with the story.
