i read an article in mother jones about the government wanting to spray down a plant that grows near the border, because it may help illegal people hide when trying to cross into the u.s. this is so dumb in my opinion because they don't even seem to care about the effect that those harsh chemicals would have on the rest of the environment or on the wildlife in that area. i dont think they should resort to such extremes over some plant.

in time magazine there's an article about spanish bull fighters being angry that the fine arts medal for bull fighting went to francisco rivera ordonez. all the other bull fighters are mad because they just think he got the award because he is from a well known family. i think no matter who would have received the award there would have been haters.

week 8

i read an article in "time" magazine titled "job forecast for college seniors: grimmer than ever" and thought it was kind of sad. it talked about how because of the economy, the demand for accounting and engeneering majors has gone way down. i feel really bad for those students because we are always told that in order to get good jobs and make good money you have to go to college, but for the mean time these students are really going to struggle with finding a job in their major, and paying there bills especially those student loans that are going to start kicking in in a few short months.
