Arizona police get killed on chase

Today in class we were talking about the latest news and one of my fellow students had brought up a shooting in Arizona that killed two policemen. The police were chasing after a vehicle that was involved in a drug operation and when the policemen got out of the car the suspects got out and shot both, killing them. The vehicle was then followed by helicopter and more police. When the vehicle finally pulled over the suspects got out and the other policemen shot them and they were also killed along with the police they had shot earlier in the event. This had involved two cops in separate cop cars, the suspects and then many other policemen later in the event.

Oil spills**

Today the oil spills have had a very big impact on the world and our oceans. Just recently the workers of the oil spills have gotten it somewhat under control. The news have had a large part in keeping the people informed. The oil spills have also effected the animals that live in the oceans. I think that what we are doing to prevent the oil form spilling over more of the oceans. Now we have plugged the oil pipes with other tubes that have been collecting the oil and preventing it from spreading more.

*Time Square Bombing*

The bombing by the man that has been said to be part of the Taliban was in my opinion just one thing that could be a sign for more to come. Although our armed forces and the ones that fight to keep us safe tell us not to worry, i find myself more fearful to what they could be planing next. The one man that planed to bomb time square, although he did not succeed in doing so, he has frightened many Americans because of the fact that he had gotten past many people and if he would have succeeded in the bombing he would have taken many peoples lives as well. To see someone who looks like an everyday American that you would never think twice about bombing a large area that is highly populated, is a very scary thought that many today would like to push to the back of their minds and think about it later. This event has put us back into a more guarded, more worried, and more frightened world once again and in opinion that is where the Taliban wants us to be.

Epcot

When i had the chance to go to Epcot it was one of the most educational hands on trip i have ever been to and i would tell everyone who could go to do so. In Epcot, for those who don't know, is sections of countries with little food areas with people actually from the country you're in, and places that are famous in those countries that you can experience as if you were actually there. And i had the chance to see all the countries that they have in the park. I had the chance to also stop in some of the countries and experience some of their culture. In France i had gotten to eat some of their famous deserts. I also had gotten the chance to eat dinner in Norway with wonderful foods that were traditional but yet elegant. To learn more about a country and get the feel of how it would be if you were to go there i think Epcot is the perfect place to get that feel.

oil spills

Recently there have been oil spills in the gulf of Mexico that have been damaging the waters that our animals use for living. Many are wondering what we're going to do to clean up the oil spills and prevent it from happening again. I know that we are doing the best we can to clean it up right now but i wonder what can we do to prevent from this event from happening again?

Midevil times

I have recently been able to experience the show of knights fighting on horses and kings and princesses watching in amazement. I had gotten to enjoy the wonderful food that you only eat with your hands and the actors in character the whole time. This is a show that i would suggest to anyone that is willing to experience something new. To many it may seem weird and not entertaining and to them i have to say that i was that person who thought that too. But when i looked at it as an experience that you only get once, and i enjoyed it tremendously. This takes you back in history and shows you the games the knights had played for a certain purpose and to entertain the royalty of their nation.

The PA Governor election comercials

Everywhere on television now you see commercials on the elections for Governor. And the commercials that most likely catch my eye are the ones that make the runner seem more like an everyday person then someone who is going to be in control of many responsibilities that involve our state. The commercials that make me want to vote someone to have the ability to change something in our state is the person that would most likely do the most good, the one that sees not just people but people with families and loved ones that need help and they're willing to give that help. To me i do believe that these commercials are dramatized and made to make the elected people look their best but i do also think that it works cause i know if i were to see the politician that fit all of the things on my list i believe would make them best fit i would choose them.
