Tragedy hit today! One of the saddest things that could have possible happened did. There was a shooting at an elementary school. How can these people be so twisted that they could take so many lives of not only adults but also children. These people are truly disturbed and need help. We must try harder as a community to help those who need help and maybe people will stop doing such terrible things.

The election is over. Congratulations President Obama! Please keep our country from doing any worse. Romney, I'm sorry. I hope you do better at your other endeavers. It was a very close and exciting race, but one had to win and one haad to lose. To both I say good job. They both had good speeches and should be proud.

When do polotics take the compitition to far? President Obama's campain used a sesame street chacter to mock his rival. Must the canidates go so far has to use a great kids show to mpock each other? I don't think Elmo would consider that playing fair. Reads more about it at this link. =)http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/09/big-bird-puts-his-big-orange-foot-down/

The Buddhist city of Mes Aynak is  being destroyed by the chinese government to mine cooper. This city has anicent temples, is a hub for Asiain trade and has been around since the Bronze age. We cannot let such places to be destroyed. Would we destroy Rome just to mine some cooper?

 Hi! This blog is to talk about the events that are happening here at home but also around the world.
 To start off  I am going to talk about the big issue here at home. What is that? The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) teachers stikes. Teachers, I understand that you want more money, but really spending alittle more time in school is not going to kill you. You are finally reaching the same amount of time each day as us in the suburbs. I honestly dont care how much money you want. I am conserned about the 65,000 or so children that are not getting an education because you are not being payed enough. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=8813679 Here is an article telling all about this. Thank you CPS teachers for finally ending it today and finally get those kids back to school.
