Im pretty sure mom or my grandfather came and picked my brother and I up from school.

i think it's stupid that they wouldnt allow one prom for both white and black. it does make me happy that four girls two white and two black come forward and finally did something.

1.) Obama went to comfort those whom were effected  by the Boston Marathon Bombing. I think its sweet the he took his time out and went to talk to the families and let them know that he cares about what happened.
2.)Seeing how zip codes tell a lot more then people think, it kinda scares me. Tell Marketers prolly know a lot of our personal things. Though I guess it's kinda easy for cashiers to ask for it so when they match you up and what not.
3.) Im not sure how I feel about the hole gun control thing. I mean i kno there are going to be glitches and mistakes but they need to some how control it from happening. Now any one being able to buy a gun whenever they want. I have a problem with that. I feel that if a person as lets say a mental problem they shouldnt be able to own a gun.

the court is trying to decide what to do with the gun situation and what not. im not so sure how things are going to go down if the court decides to take away the ability to carry guns outside away from homes when those people have license to do so.

1.) the first cartoon i looked at was a woman looking about all happy at a poster on a wall. there is a man across from her also looking up at a poster all happy only its a different poster than the womens. i think it is an advertizment for the movies.

2.) the second cartoon i looked at is about gun control. a waitress and a costumer are having the conversation while another man is sitting down from the costumer that is talking to the waitress. the costumer thinks that if someone has a mental illness then that person should not be able to own a gun. the waitress says something about storm troopers taking away your guns and the costumer says something about ammo hoarding psyhosis then she says something about people having lack of sociopathic empathy for the victims of senseless gun violince. and the guy that is sitting down from them thinks to himself welp their on the list.

3.) this third one im not so sure what is about i dont fully understand it. though there is this lady leaving a salon and one of the people inside says to the other " yeah, hilary is running! she has a new due." i think its meaning that "hilary" is running for office.

4.)the fourth is about north koria. its a "jerk" in the box saying boom goes the evil. im guessing it is about how were having war against them or their in charge or something in the manner.

5.)i dont understand the fifth one but it has to do with obama taking a voluntary 5% salary cut.

Policies

I will say that we do need to be more strict on the whole texting while driving because its dangerous. People do not take the law serious so they continue doing it but what they are not realizing is that they are taking a risk at crashing into to someone and either killing or injuring them and theirselves. I feel that there needs to be more said about the punishment for texting and driving or they need to make a stronger punishment.

I think it's wrong to text and drive even though i do text while driving. I do think it is crazy at the amount of adults whome text while driving. Even when they know its wrong and dangerous. Im not saying that it is right for teens to text while driving because they know as well as the adults.
