Everyone has rights. I know the people might be scared of suspected terrorists, but murderers aren't the nicest people either, and they get their rights? The constitution is what we follow, and that goes for every person who lives in our country. If they are guilty, they will be found guilty, but they should get the fair trial. It may start out a supposed terrorists getting their rights taken away, but sooner or later it will move on to the general public, and we will get our rights stripped from us.

5/10 Judd

Keith Judd, a democrat presidential candidate, got 42% of West virginias democratic vote. Now, I very much dislike Obama, but I also don't want an inmate being our president. HE was arrested for extortion and a threat to the University of New Mexico. Neither Obama nor Judd physically campaigned in our state.  I voted for Keith Judd, not knowing anything about him, just wanting Obama out of office. I can't say I regret my decision, even after I found out the truth. In November, I will be voting for anyone but Obama.

Mr.Benner-perry

Mr.Benner-Perry taught me a lot in his time here. He is a great speaker and really makes you want to listen and learn. When Mr.Benner-Perry was here we learned a lot about immigration and how different other countries are to us. We had to choose a country that we might immigrate to if the United States government was overthrown, and create a powerpoint on it. It really made me learn a lot. We also learned a lot about the economy. Not only did we learn the basics of economy, but we had to have a mock job, pay mock bills, and learn what exactly it is like to live in the economy we have.

Liking a facebook page is definitely part of speech. It is showing your opinion and likes and dislikes of certain things. Liking something on facebook is not a reason to fire someone. Sheriff Roberts states that he fires these people for poor working ability and that he wanted to replace them with sworn deputies. This is clearly not true. Mr.Carter, one of the workers that had been fired, states that the sheriff was angry after a meeting where the facebook issues were mentioned.

Friday, a teacher in New Jersey was put on paid leave. An autistic boy's father had put a recording device on his son, because teacher's had said he was acting out in class. What he discovered was appalling. Teacher's were calling the child inappropriate names and talking about a hangover right in front of him. After the child's father had informed the school about this, they did nothing. So he uploaded the video online, and it went viral. All the teachers have been placed on leave at this point.

Seven people died in a car accident in New York Sunday. The car plunged over a guardrail into a zoo. Luckily, there were no people or animals at the bottom of it. All of the people in the car were pronounced dead on the scene. Police say the driver overcompensated when the left side of the SUV ran into the berrier. It was a horrific accident.

He has the mental capacity of a 13-year old boy, The shooter has raised self defense and the whole situation brings up the contrversial issue of using an armed weapon to defend yourself.

1.) What does it mean to you to save money? It means a lot. It is important to save money for when theres emergencys or something, and you might need it.

2.) Are you good at saving money? Why or Why not? I think I'm pretty good at it. I realize necessities are more important than anything.

3.) What are some ways for you to get better at saving money? Maybe once I actually start having my own money I'll realize it's important to save it. Just doing this activity makes me realize how difficult it is and how much money I actually need. Don't buy things you don't need.

4.) Why is it good to put money in the bank? So you have a place to safely keep it all.

5.) Do you think it is important to save your money ? I think it's very important. Money is hard to come by and you need to spend it wisely so you don't starve and die.

Some soldiers will be transferred out of Japan. Some of the soldiers will be tranferred to Guam, in preparation for a miltatry buildup. Some will also be sent to Ha waii and Australia. Japan's foreign minister agrees with this action, and says it is satisfactory. The pressure to leave Okinawa started in 1995 when three U.S personell raped a 12 year old Japanese girl

Arizona immigration laws have changed, causing one man's business to plummet. He sells tortillas for a living. Even though there is a recession going on, the new immigrant laws have had more of an impact on it than that. The new law has torn apart families and communities,and the people claim there are way more important issues than immigration. But not everybody disagrees with the law. You can still immigrate legally, but it specifically calls out illegal immigrants.

Kurt Mix is facing a maximum penalty of 21 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 dollars for each count if found guilty. He deleted text messages that authorities had requested about a huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. They attempted to stop the oil flow by a "Top Kill" but it did not work because the oil flow was too much. BP was telling the public that it was way less, though.Mix is in big trouble beause of this.

1.) What are five things you have learned about environmental abuses during this project? People get sick from polluting the enviroment, everyday little things can hurt the enviroment, trees are important to the enviroment, plastic takes a million years to deteriorate, the U.S isnt as polluted as a lot of countries.
2.) Is this abuse one of the most important problems facing the world today? Yes, i believe so. We aren't planting enough trees to make up for the ones we cut down. We might try, but we are cutting down trees too frequently when theres really not that much need.
3.) Is the solution proposed a practical solution to the problem? Why? Yes. If i saw a recycling bin or garbage can more often, I wouldn't be tempted to throw it on the ground. I would like to be more aware about what littering and not recycling does to the enviroment.
4.) What in your opinion is the most important environmental about facing our world today? why? Cutting down trees, and litering are both extremely important. The garbage pollutes our land, water, and air.  Cutting down trees causes animals and plants to die, and damages the land.

No. Honestly, video games have nothing to do with murderers. They would murder people whether there was violent video games or not. There are plenty of other ways he could have trained in shooting a gun. Does a video game even actually prepare you to shoot somebody? No. You have to have a certain way of thinking to do that, and that has to do with the person, not what they play. This guy was sick.

I really don't care about what i've recently done on facebook. I think it's kind of creepy that they collect data on us and use it to give us ads we might be interested in, and that is how they make all of their money. I believe that if you want, all of your data should be deleted.

There is a clock that does not shut off unless you punch the date into a keyboard in a different room. It is a devil clock, it sounds like. Paul Sammut, a 25 year old engineer invented this clock. He says that he even gets up before the clock goes off because he fears it. The clock cost $350 and took off quickly after he demonstrated the clock on kickstart.com

4/17

A man in Norway killed 77 people, claiming that it was self defense. Which is pretty ignorant. He claims he was protecting Norway against multiculturism and Islam.He will face only 21 years in prison if found sane. You can get 21 years for drunk driving and accidentally killing somebody, so how fair is that? He was caught smiling on camera, while he planted a bomb, then attacked and island of innocent camp goers. This is where the death penalty would come in handy.

In my honest opinion, schools do not care about a child's well being, or state of mind. The only thing most of them care about is their paycheck. They can treat us how they want, and let other kids treat eachother as they want. There is absolutely no authority, and if there is, it's over dumb things like how many chairs are at a table, or when we go to our locker. Neither of those things are going to help us to be better people, and get along with eachother. Bullying is an issue, and I'm not saying that it is possible to outright stop it, but there are things to do that can improve how people feel about themselves and eachother. There is extrmely too much inequality.

4/13 man beat and robbed

A man was beaten and robbed in Baltimore. A man is just standing there when he gets robbed. He pursues the thief and gets punched and knocked down. He then got stripped and all people did was laugh at him. I think that it's really sad the world has come to this. The Baltimore police have identified one man included in the crime, and they are attempting to identify the rest. "This behavior will not be tollerated." states Detective Nicole Monroe.

They are legally married. I believe that even if it is a same-sex marriage, it is real under the law, so why can't a normal divorce happen? Who cares about their state constitution, it is REAL.People are ignorant.
