9-15-10 __Gulf of Mexico__ After multiple attempts to but an end to the oil flowing into the gulf, BP is facing possible criminal charges and lawsuits. BP is blaming Transocean and Halliburton cementing comp. for the explosion due to misread pressure tests and improper cement work on the well located on the oil rig. I cant believe that no-one has come up with a soulution yet. i was hopping some young engineer fresh out of college would save the gulf from this tragety mostly because it would show that their hard work has paid off well.

9-23-10 __Bedfordshire, U.K.__ I find it funny that a teenage from Britain was banned for life from the United States for sending an abusive email to President Obama. The article states that thing teenager, Luke Angel, had forgotten what he wrote in the E-mail because he was Drunk and High when he wrote it, so hopfully he got punished for admitting he did multiple other illigal things. I don't believe however that banning this teenager from the United States will do much, because i doubt that he would even want to come over seas considering the hatrid he shows in his Email towards President Obama. All in all, i believe that this young teenager did a very immature thing and should probably be put in a boarding school or something of that sort to settle the obvious problems he possible has.

10-7-10 __Austin__ Im courious as to how Colton Tooley obtained an ak-47 being just a sophmore in college, and what his intentions were by shooting into the air and at a church. It was clear that he must have been unhappy with something, considering his last shot was aimed at himself. Just from reading this one paragraph. Colton Tooley must not have had any hubris because he has no self-confidence. I beleive I can figure out why he did such a thing. He was described as "brilliant," and "respectful," and his family said he was, "a very smart guy." I believe Colten was seen as someone he truley wasnet and he coulded take being, "two faced, " anymore. All in all, I believe Tooley was mis-understood.

11-1-10 Iraq war-leaks Wikileaks has release a series of about 400,000 classified military documents from the Iraq war, dating from 2004-2009 that show evidence of torture and killing of Iraqi civilians. The article states that some U.S. soldiers observed abuse without protest and didnt do anything about it. I believe that is morally wrong of them to do because were supposed to trust that these soldiers will protect our country and they arn't protecting anyone by watching abuse. I feel that eventhough this article does suppress important information, it sould be legally handled with by someone of high authority. it is just not right that this case has been going on since 2003 and none of it was even thought about or was tried to be fixed.
