week 14 (swine flu)

This week the US are starting to become scared of what is being called swine flu. This straind of flu has hit Mexico really hard killing an estimated 150 people already and it is starting to spread in the United States now as well. There have been cases in New York, Texas, California, Ohio, and as of today Indiana. With the one Indiana case being a Notre Dame student. If this continues it will cause as big of a scare as the bird flu.
This scare is one to be taking serious. It is not something to freak out about.

no toy guns in Ark. (week 13)

This week the senate in Arkansas OKed a bill to make real looking toy guns illegal. This whole ordeal has came up after a boy was shot by police when he had a realistic toy gun in hand. The police shot him because they thought it was a real gun. The kid had taken the red tip off of the toy. I believe that the senate was right in what they did because this is a matter of safety on both sides of this conflict. This will save the lives of pedestrians who don't have a real weapon the police will be able to reconize that they aren't a danger to others.

what do you think about the ruling in this case was it right or wrong.
