week 7

aparantly former UN ambassador, John Bolton, appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference resently and gave a speech. during this speech he made a joke about how someone should blow up Chicago with a nuclear bomb in order to teach Obama a lesson. in response the crowd of american conservatives responded with laughter and aplause. i think that is so rediculous. what lesson would Obama learn from that? i can't believe someone would actually aplaud the murdering of innocent people just because they don't like our new president. it was a stupid and immature comment that should not have been made.

week 6

this week i read an article in the LA Times about umbelical cord blood, and how some doctors don't really believe there is enough evidence to suggest that it's worth saving. i think we should put more money toward funding better research to find out if parents should be saving their babies cord blood. this article reminded me of a show i watched where this real family had a son who was sick and doctors suggested that they have another child so that they could use that babies cord blood to help their sick child. i don't think anyone should have a new baby only to help a sick child, but they did it and it seemed to work for them.

week 5

In Time Magazine there was an article about how in China there have been about 20 million jobs lost as a result of the economy. it's gotten so bad that last month the head ofchina's assets supervision forbade state owned enterprises in the chinese capital from laying off workers. i just wonder when this whole thing is going to get any better.

week 4

i read an article from "Time Magazine" about Pakistan denying they had anything to do with the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. I think they did have something to do with the attacks, and it doesn't help that the only surviving gunman, Qasab, is from Pakistan. there is video of Qasab's interogation, but the Pakistan government is saying that it isn't really Qasab in those tapes, it's someone wearing a mask of his face. also a t.v. person was fired after saying Pakistan may have known something about the attacks. i think Pakistan needs to quit playing games and admit what they've done.
